Unfortunately, some programs are Windooze only, and I just found a dual boot to be a PITA, so I stopped using it.

That's what virtualbox is for.
I mean running Windows under linux, of course, not the reverse. Grin

IIRC, games don't run that great in a virtualized windows installation? Wink

thats why wine exist Wink

This pisses me off! Corp. Software is windooze only because of the lazy and ignorant users! There will be games for linux and of course Photoshop for linux but not before you all change some ways. On the other hand ... things are changing.. Microsoft's rule is ending and it is going down.. So probably there is a better tomorrow...

I say:
- f*** windoz
- f*** micro$oft
- f*** wine
- every piece of software should be packaged for linux

And for all those who still are on the dark side: Micro$oft was created by Bill Gates. Bill Gates is a nazi. Bill Gates wants you dead... all of us... If you don't believe me ... do some research.

PS: I hope my post is not to hardcore

Welcome to the world of Linux. Wink

I'm using Linux for 5 / 6 years now, and everyday I learn something new.

But compiling stuff from source was always a pain in the ass..

You haven't lived until you've compiled your operating system from source code by downloading every individual software package from it's repository: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/

I used Gentoo for a year and a half. Took me 6 tries to finally get an install that was usable haha! It's still my favorite distro, in a "I love you, but if you fuck me up one more time Ima throw you out the window" kinda way.

btw for future reference, and any onlookers, if you get "something.h missing" type messages one way I use to find out what package is needed is to use the apt-cache command to locate one suitable...

will definitely look at this thread the next time I play with ./configure, make, make install...

Whoa!! This is the first time in my life that I successfully executed make command... usually I don't even get through ./configure

Thanks guys!

eg. pcre.h seems to be missing

apt-cache search pcre

This looks at the packages available and lists ones containing pcre. By looking thru that list you can often figure out which one is needed. In this case you want something with lib, dev, and C since the program is written in C. Give it a try.

You need the openssl headers installed, depending on the distro it would normally be a package like "openssl-dev" or "libssl-dev"

Thanks... I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I thought I had openssl installed, because if I typed "openssl version" there was an output...

anyway I also installed this libssl-dev (there was no package openssl-dev) and now I get a little different output...

user@JLaptop:~/MyPrograms/VanityAddr/vanitygen-master$ make
cc -ggdb -O3 -Wall -c -o vanitygen.o vanitygen.c
cc -ggdb -O3 -Wall -c -o pattern.o pattern.c
pattern.c:32:18: fatal error: pcre.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [pattern.o] Error 1

any ideas..?

You also need the "libpcre3-dev" package, or some similar one (don't recall now). It isn't clear about this in the INSTALL help file but I guess the dev expects everyone has most of this already installed. These dev packages usually have the header file (*.h) so any time you see a message about missing h files it's usually some dev package missing.

Do you have openssl installed?

OK...another noob question.

All the crypto math and logic is a bit confusing to me and I need to spend more time to understand it. As I understand it from a layman's perspective, the generator gets a random number as a starting point and then increments that number and hashes it looking for the chosen pattern. If I would start the generator, stop it, then restart again for the same pattern, will it use the same number to start with? I want to run the vanity gen at night and want to make sure that I am not duplicating work that was already done when I restart it each night.

Thanks.

It doesn't remember position but doesn't need to. Any time you start you will be looking at fresh number space because the chances of repeating work are so very, very tiny. The chances of repeating work are the same as the chances of finding an existing key - which is the whole point.

So any time you restart you are never wasting search attempts. It all counts.

Total noob question...sorry...

Is there a reason why a pattern can not use a lower case "L"?

I want to generate pattern 1Akula but get a message about it being an invalid character.

Even newbier! Can't even install this thing...

Some characters are not valid because they are easily mistaken for others. So "l" cannot be used as it conflicts with "1". See the wiki "address" page for a list of invalid chars.
