This is the command I'm running: ./vanitygen -X 138 xabcd

Okay, seems like there's something wrong with Vanitygen when it comes with Altcoins, but there's a workaround to that.

You can convert the result invalid WIF private key into the correct format by base58-decoding it into HEX, remove the checksum and network bytes,
and you got the private key.
Then covert that into WIF by doing vice-versa but this time, use "0x80" instead of '0x0A' in front.

This page automates all of that, displays an example and the steps: https://gobittest.appspot.com/PrivateKey,
Just paste the N, M or L WIF prvkey to the first text box, hit "send", and the result will be displayed under "Private key to wallet import format" at step #7.
But it's not available offline, if you want a secure method, find a script or something.

Vanitygen is giving me a wrong private key for my IXC address. Is there a way to fix that without editing the source code?

AFAIK, you should be able to use the result of vanitygen to IXC,
if '1' isn't useable, you should convert the address manually by 'BASE58 decode' the address then change the network bytes and checksum.
The private key should be the same as Bitcoin WIF prv key (uncompressed) based from an IXC paper wallet generator (link).

The issue I see is that it gives me a wrong prefix for the private keys (i.e M, N and L) when it should be a 5 or K, L as you say. I believe the length is wrong also, 50 characters, when they should be either 51 or 52.

Everything you said here aren't what vanitygen would produce. Vanitygen's result WIF prvkey for mainnet will always start with '5' consisting of 51-characters.
Are you sure that you're using the right binary (from OP) or commands?

Are you using this to bruteforce a private key? Bec. it's not recommended for that.

Well, that is what vanitygen is producing for IXC, other coins seem fine. Yes, I am using the right binary from the OP. No, I am not using it to bruteforce a private key.

This is the command I'm running: ./vanitygen -X 138 xabcd

Thanks in advance.

I just take a peek at IXC announcment thread and looks like the developer merely change the prefix from 1 to x.

Assuming my speculation is correct, it might be because vanitygen uses private key format (WIF with prefix 5) which indicate usage of uncompressed public key while most wallet would create compressed public key by default.

Thanks for answering.

arulbero Could you share your program Huh

2) my own generator: 75M keys / minute (-> 6,5GB file / minute) per 1 core. I got about 175 Mkeys / minute with 4 cores.

I have a my own generator (for Linux) that produces private key + address but not in base58 format.

I have another program in Python too that produces private key + address, I should search it. I don't remember performance, but surely much more than 1500keys/s. Are you interested?

This smells like jhdscript will soon open a new topic: 'Please Help! My Bitcoins have been stolen.'
My answer might be: 'Sorry for your loss'

Thanks for the trust. Cheesy

Anyway my program generates only "consecutive" keys. You provide:

1) the private key to start from
2) how many keys you want to compute

and it generates the corresponding addresses (hash of public keys, not base58 encoded). This is the output if you start from key = 1:

It is only up to the user to choose which keys to generate, not up to the program.

Besides I don't think that jhdscript needs to store a so huge amount of addresses to send some bitcoin there. Maybe it is only a statistical project.

@jhdscript

I made 2 tests (writing speed, Xeon CPU E3-1505 3 GHz + SSD, Ubuntu Mate 17.04)

1) supervanitygen: about 220K keys / minute (8 threads, that confirms that vanitygen-like program are not suited to your case)

2) my own generator: 75M keys / minute (-> 6,5GB file / minute) per 1 core. I got about 175 Mkeys / minute with 4 cores.

Unfortunately if I try to compile it for Windows the results I get are not correct anymore. When I will have more time I will give it a look. For now I can't help you (unless you decide to use Linux).
Honestly I can't figure out why you need to fill an hard disk so fast. It takes about 20 hours to fill 4TB.

Hello! Could you share your program for me? For me, such a speed of geniation is like flying to the moon! I want to try this miracle program! I would be very grateful to you! Thank you very much!!! Shocked

I have a problem:

ocl vanitygen runs at a speed of 4000 Mk/s on my rig and today he printed out some thing like this - numbers are for example:

index found: 553
CPU hash: 123456789
GPU hash: 123456789

Delta found: 1234567 Delta started again: 123456

I have 2 identical hashes, but he did not sow the PrivK.
How can I get to the adress and privK with this information?
I also have the prefix of the adress, since it shows me the index number of my prefix search file.

In August of 2018 I created 2 vanity wallets. In March 2019 they were hacked and my 1.2BTC was stolen. Don't trust vanity wallets. I used bitcoin vanity Gen. -snip-

That's the problem, you've used the scam website bitcoinvanitygen, there are a lot of scam accusations againt that website and the user who's promoting (or creator of) it.
Vanity addresses are considered secured as long as there's nothing malicious in the code or your private key isn't compromised.

with an average setup how long would you expect it to take before finding a vanity address like 1ELonMUSK14JSGNYAcPJNqubuFByZPyjcj? Or 1SPacex1daUkw7L6ux8Cfw7jASexb9umL?

I would be interested in that, too. Is there a calculator with which you can roughly determine how much time you need with a certain setup for a certain number of characters? I did a address generation for four characters today, which took me around 25 minutes. For a generation of six characters, I unfortunately had to quit the generation after around 4 hours.

There is a faster prefix search program called VanitySearch (developed by Jean_Luc)
Using a GTX970 GeForce GPU, the search rate went from ~40 Mkeys/s with Vanitygen to ~240 Mkeys/s by switching to VanitySearch. I was thinking about buying a second video card to increase my search capability when I stumbled on Jean_Luc's program. The program itself gave me a nearly 6X increase in speed where another $400+ GPU would have only doubled the speed. The energy savings are also amazing as I no longer need to leave the computer running for days to find the desired prefix.

Here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Vanitygen#Using_a_vanity_address_generator_to_try_to_attack_addresses
The table is based from 1Mkeys/s. Just adjust the 'average time' based on your "average set-up"

Based from that, it's 1year for 1ELonMUSK & 3hours for 1SPacex if Vanitygen is running at 1Mkeys/s.
Take note that there's luck involved in that, you can get your address within the first few minutes if you're extremely lucky as long as the difficulty isn't too high.

I think getting something working with an FPGA would be the likely next step.

Do you think that an FPGA would apply for this task?

Someone would need to code a implementation of this https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/blob/master/calc_addrs.cl in Verilog. I don't know much about FPGAs but they must also choose the right pins to assign to. I like the idea though, since there should be a way to program the EC multiplications and adds for it.

Over the years I've seen requests for P2SH multisignature vanity addresses.
The basic support of Vanitygen was a 1 signature out of 1 key P2SH address.
I thought it was time to add more multisignature support :-)

The code for the following proof can be found in my https://github.com/kangaderoo/vanitygen repository.

-M           --> script address needing M signatures

As I'm a puzzle solver, not a software professional, my github repository has a fixed setup to my personal environment and does
not automatically configure to other development environments. My personal environment also does not support OpenCL, so this
part of the code is not updated.

Hi,
how can I use oclvanitygen for an asic mining process? Could I connect my old S3 to it? I want to speed it up, so that I can have an adress like 1isbetterthannothingthankyou...... This takes too much time right now and I want to use Asic for this task. Any ideas? Thank you.

Nope, you can't. oclvanitygen will only work on GPU (or any CPU that support OpenCL).

Yes, thank you. I know. Right now I am running it on EC2/AWS using CPU and running it on a PC on GPU as well. However I thought that there may is a way to speed it up or have a more efficient way? I mean the EC2 is expensive with no result yet. After 4 months. And yes, I am considering using the IBM QS One for this. I guess that is the only speedup Huh

How can i tell oclvanitygen to have specific ranges of privK? So that he generates for example privk(Start) 5student4ever...........1 to privk(End) 5student4ever...........9 ?
