Topic: Vanitygen Output Address File Reader/Searcher/Aggregator Script (Read 2800 times)

I've updated the script to accomodate for extremely large outputs which could nearly fill the whole terminal history.  The new version is available at the pastebin link - CHECKADDY.sh - Vanitygen Output File Address Search Script.

There is a Yes / No selection after the addresses are aggregated similar to the below:

BTCump, I've recently utilized this script (unmodified) a couple times and it worked perfectly.  If you find it useful drop a message in this thread!

PremiumCodeX,
Thanks for the update, I have changed the OP to reflect this fact. 


OgNasty,
Sounds really cool but I don't have a need to do what you are requesting.  I'd be able to code it and would take that project on for a cost, but I would not be willing to do it for free. 

No, I currently do it the way you are saying, with specified search criteria.  There isn't a need for this script for me though, because I search for long vanities so I get maybe 1 or 2 per day.  If this script could delete out the crap allowing me to search for every address, it would significantly increase the number of long vanity addresses I was able to find.  Who knows, maybe I've found 25 letter vanity addresses and I just passed it by because it wasn't in my specified search.  That's what I'd love to see this script make possible.  Find long vanity addresses that aren't specified in search criteria.

@digicoinuser, I have just read that Windows 10 integrated Bash that supports every feature that an Ubuntu's Bash supports. I do not wonder this fact much because it integrated Ubuntu, too lol. So, you may find the following discussion helpful WINDOWS 10 HAS NOW BASH. Your script should work fine on Windows 10 without additional dependencies from now on   Also, you may use more advanced features on a Windows server, too, from now on.

Interesting, from the way you are speaking it sounds like you save every single address that vanitygen generates into a file?

In my scenario I only have addresses saved that match my search criteria and then I use my script to narrow down those addresses to ones that don't have trailing junk that could make the address look awkward.

I agree it is a lot.  I don't think vanitygen needs to be touched though.  It actively saves addresses into a .txt file.  Addresses that didn't meet the dictionary criteria would only need to be deleted every few minutes.

That sounds a little above and beyond what this script is meant to do since it only searches the output file that vanitygen generates.

A dictionary option could be provided to also bring to light addresses which have terms in them matching dictionary file words but I think a re-write of vanitygen would be required to achieve what Og is contemplating. 

Yes, and perhaps some sort of pruning for addresses without words in them?  I generate (86,400*145,000,000) addresses per day, every day.  I could be missing some amazing addresses simply because they aren't included in my search.  If there were a program that removed all the garbage addresses and kept the good ones so I didn't have an ever expanding file of billions of addresses to search through, surely some interesting vanity addresses would result.

I would say a file with a lot of dictionary words in it. That way, they could add stuff if they wanted to and remove stuff, or they could leave it alone. That would have the best of both worlds, and should be similar difficulty in code vs preset list. Would be a nice feature for your script, and I might find a use in it.

---

Edit:This would be a cool idea as well. Might be hard to code though.

That sounds pretty neat and might be doable, would it be a user specified dictionary or a preset?

Would be cool if you could add in something that would identify dictionary words and bring addresses to your attention that contained them.

Interesting, I will have to check it out!  My script doesn't utilize any special commands and is really only reliant on "grep" and reading simple passed arguments so I believe it would work.

Thanks for the information! 

There are more than one Bash ports for Windows. I was using win-bash in the past. It is also on SourceForge. You can install it onto Microsoft Windows NT based systems. I have not tested whether it covers everything what you need, but it is the most complete Bash port for Windows that I have used so far and since it has GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2), it should not be too complicated to issue new tickets with your requests.

Very nice and I wasn't aware of that.  Is it only for Windows 10?

I could use it in a vanity address scraper as a part script, I guess. I will be able to test it on Linux soon since I am working on setting up a new Linux based web server. But as far as I remember, there is Bash for Windows too, just not by default. You can download it from the internet.

You're welcome and yes, the searches are case sensitive.  If you add the grep flag "-i" you can perform a case insensitive search but the script is currently setup to be accurate to your search terms case.

Feel free to modify it if you have a need for a change.  

I do, Thanks.
It will give me a quick way to search for capital combinations in my case insensitive adres results

BTCump, anyone find this script useful yet?

I'm sharing my script which will allow you to search for specified Vanitygen output addresses in a directory or a single file.  The default directory is in the script and everything can be changed to your liking.  

You can search for a single address in all files, an address in a single file, or for all addresses in a directory.


Create a file named "CHECKADDY.sh" on your Linux box using the below linked script and run with one of the above usage commands!

CHECKADDY.sh - Vanitygen Output File Address Search Script

This bash script was built in Linux, but should work fully on Windows 10 with Bash.

and so on if you chose Yes....
Listing will show ALL 2380 addresses, only showing 2 in this example as 2380 lines of text is absurdly long.
Otherwise, addresses can be viewed in the temporary file, tmp_Address_list.txt
