I need to make a series of 5 letter vanity addresses. In order to do so I think there's a command and I do something with bracket (Yes. I definitely completely understand what I'm doing /s).
Question: Can I use the same HEX public key '04AC6402...' if I'm doing split key vanity gen to create a series of vanity addresses?
So what I mean is my public key is '04AC6402...' can I use that to create multiple addresses, all at the same time?
Yes.
1test1
1test2
1test3
Let me know if you understand what I'm asking and if it makes sense. Basically I'm trying to save some time rather than generating 100 addresses on an Ubuntu Live USB then going to Vanitygen and 1 by 1 find the part private key.
If you generate addresses for yourself you dont need to use split key vanity.
Anyway, here is the command to create 1test1 to 1test9 (cant do 10 because there is no 0 in base 58).
./vanitygen 1test1 1test2 1test3 1test4 1test5 1test6 1test7 1test8 1test9
You can also create a file with all the prefixes, e.g. "my_prefixes.txt"
./vanitygen -f my_prefixes.txt
Next match difficulty: 1702005001 (9 prefixes)
If you only want a single address from any of the possible prefixes use the
-1 flag, e.g.
./vanitygen -1 -f my_prefixes.txt
Next match difficulty: 1702005001 (9 prefixes)
Edit: I just got the part you said about brackets and I think you are refering to regular expressions. Its possible to use them (flag is
-r, but they will slow you down.
$ ./vanitygen -1 -f my_prefixes.txt
Next match difficulty: 1702005001 (9 prefixes)
