OK. So i attempted using the -X 48 flag and for the prefix I did Light and it just showed the help list of the tags. I'm using oclvanitygen. It isn't working.

Alphabetically "Light" is past the range of possible lightcoin (network 48) addresses. Valid addresses are generally in the range: LKDxGDJ-LiZZFKc7

You could search case insensitive, since "LiGHT" is still valid.

Code:
D:\Bitcoin\vanitygen-0.22-win>vanitygen -X48 -i Lightco
Difficulty: 1138380
Pattern: Lightco
Address: LiGHTcoirUn9XjtBqZWGyTf4o91RGerLZQ

I use flags
Code:
vanitygen -i-X48 Light
pause

But I just see this:
Code:
C:\DIRECTORY>vanitygen -i-X48 Light
Vanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012)
Usage: vanitygen [-vqrikNT] [-t ] [-f |-] [...]
Generates a bitcoin receiving address matching , and outputs the
address and associated private key.  The private key may be stored in a safe
location or imported into a bitcoin client to spend any balance received on
the address.
By default, is interpreted as an exact prefix.

Options:
-v            Verbose output
-q            Quiet output
-r            Use regular expression match instead of prefix
              (Feasibility of expression is not checked)
-i            Case-insensitive prefix search
-k            Keep pattern and continue search after finding a match
-N            Generate namecoin address
-T            Generate bitcoin testnet address
-X  Generate address with the given version
-F   Generate address with the given format (pubkey or script)
-P   Specify base public key for piecewise key generation
-e            Encrypt private keys, prompt for password
-E Encrypt private keys with (UNSAFE)
-t  Set number of worker threads (Default: number of CPUs)
-f     File containing list of patterns, one per line
              (Use "-" as the file name for stdin)
-o     Write pattern matches to
-s     Seed random number generator from

C:\DIRECTORY>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Can someone explain the issue?

EDIT: Problem resolved. Space was missing between -i and -X48

What would be the regex to generate an only numbers address? And about how long would that take? Or is that even possible?

Ok, what would be the string to type in to return a ltc vanity? Is there one?
use -X with the apropriate verison (given in hex)

So just use L in hex?

example in linux
Code:
./vanitygen -X 48 LTC


Just make sure pattern is valid

How did you come up with that number 48? I need to know so I can generate addresses for other alt coins. What is the 48 in reference to? I attempted those flags on Windows and it didn't work.

It works, u just entered either invalid pattern or in the wrong sequence, so sad as if i helped u you would probably use it for your site, and no one will use my service at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/free-to-15ltc-providing-litecoin-vanity-address-generation-service-202826 to let me earn small income

Is there a way to specify for it to generate a short address, perhaps as short as 27 characters? The limit for the length is anywhere from 27 to 34. 34 by far the most common.

What flavor of RegEx does vanitygen use? It doesn't seem to support PCRE-style anchors.

I have yet to see a Bitcoin address under 34 characters. I don't think it is possible at all.

The one in my sig is 33. . It likely becomes exceedingly more and more rare, the shorter it is.

This tool is really usefull to batch create password potected and/or generate trustable vanity keys for others.
I do not really see your point.
Just call keyconv-command with the protkey as argument and you'll be asked for the password.
so e.g.
Code:
./keyconv PsvoctFZMEVEfASHPJ2sWAr6RFgEPz55hUPNEXMz4ZjSri28iNpmFUCQgYLBLs5Jh912
gives me the private key when answered with the correct password.
Why would you like to have PKCS#8 formed keys?
For making a protected key out of a normal one use -e (lower case) option, as discribed in the "help" (or line 31 of the code).

No I am trying to figure out how to take a protkey and convert it into a private key.

I cannot get the GPU version to print a finished address out. It just repeats some garbage information and keeps looking. CPU genaration works fine. It would be great to generate these in Mkey/s than Kkey/s. HD7950 specifying my device number as 0:0, but after getting to what would be 100% it just keeps going and finds nothing.

It's an AMD driver issue. I get the same issues on my rig. 13.4 gives the GPU/CPU mismatch and 13.1 fails when building the kernel.

12.8 is one of the functional drivers.

How do you decrypt a protkey generated using the -e command?
with another command
Code:
keyconv E...rst...
the binary was available in an older package..

I think I believe I found the code you referenced here: https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/blob/master/keyconv.c

After looking at the code and the comments inside, I didn't see anything that referenced to decrypting a protkey. I didn't understand the -8 flag, and I am guessing that is what I'm looking for. Is this the code I need to decrypt a protkey? I have the password used to decrypt it.
