[b]Description:[/b]

[url=https://github.com/Mark-Leck/FTCVanity]Github[/url][b]Guide To Importing generated private keys:[/b]
To import a valid private key, simply start the Feathercoin client as usual and then navigate to:
[quote]Help >> Debug Window >> Console[/quote]
And enter the following command:
[code]importprivkey “your private key here” [Your Label Here] [/code]
Press enter and once it has been verified with the blockchain you will then have your own personal Vanity address! 8)
Like so:

[b]NOTE:[/b]The wallet must be unencrypted to import the new address, once imported the wallet can then be encrypted!
If your wallet is currently encrypted then simply follow user:Ghostlander’s guide below:[quote name=“ghostlander” post=“6203” timestamp=“1369430629”]
If a wallet is encrypted, type in the console before importing a private key:[code]walletpassphrase YourPassword Seconds[/code]
Unlocks the wallet for a number of seconds specified, continue with importprivkey as usual.
dumpprivkey shows it for a given address, proceed as above for encrypted wallets.

Thanks, this is really cool. Wish I could get the GPU miner to work. Trying to mine a long name is painful. something in the thousands of years :)
-
Seems interesting although I think I’ll take your Note and agree. Not sure how valid these are or will be, I’m quite content with my random generated Address, for now. :P

[/quote]This is just the start - Although I will be concentrating on vanitygen.exe & vanitygen64.exe for the time being as all of my GPU’s are in my miner and I’m running off the onboard intel at the minute :o - I’ll update with progress made so far in a bit…

[/quote]Oh they are a valid, I can assure you that ;)
Will update with further details shortly… -
Removed post and Updated OP instead ^^

One of the packages needed to make it under linux: libpcre+±dev
Also there is a fork that added some coins already, might be trivial to add feathercoin there: https://github.com/stevenh512/vanitygen
-
Hmm, maybe not AS trivial. Just tried it on a local linux box for a litecoin:
./vanitygen -L LChris
Prefix ‘LChris’ not possible
Hint: valid litecoin addresses begin with “L”Um… right… It has to be an L, not an L … hu?

[/quote]try:
[code]./vanitygen -X 48 your_pattern_here[/code]
Instead of L and then start your pattern with an L …

Nope. Working on that fork I linked above though.
With the official zipped version under windows, I get the same btw.

[/quote]For Feathercoin address or Litecoin address are we talking about now?
I’m lost? :)Anyway I should have v1.00 of FTCVanity out later, just a simple GUI front-end for vanitygen.exe, but should make creating the vanity address & private key a lot easier for most users…
I have updated the OP as version 14 does not appear to like addresses pre-fixed with 7, so I am going to concentrate on just 6’s for now… :) -
I tried on Litecoin but also tried for feathercoin.
14 is the right version for Feathercoin, as it can be 6 or 7.
-
Also everything above 5 characters (plus the prefix of 1 or 6) totally kills you. You might get away with 6 if you can run it for a couple days, or 7 if you have a month.

[/quote]Works fine for me with 6’s
14 does not appear to work correctly (100% any way) with pre-fix 7 for some reason, I have tried both 14 (6-7) & 15 (7-8)[quote author=ChristianRiesen link=topic=489.msg3745#msg3745 date=1368635832]

[/quote]Yeah as to be expected as its only CPU generated.

My 15 Characters needs a few thousand years to get there :) “Chris” Works, everything else is just unusable.

[/quote]15 Characters would take a while on a GPU as well :)
Anyway, how vain are you, Chris? :D -
It would be nice to have addresses with my full name. But At this speed I get them in just shortly before the sun dies…
“Chris” will have to suffice. I already got one working for bitcoin, now to make it work with feathercoin and litecoin :)
-
Is the 64 bit version good to use? (obv. if you are on 64 machine)

[/quote]It doesn’t make a great deal of difference tbh Markus, the real gains are to be had from the GPU, but even with a lot of characters, that can still take thousands of years :)
FTCVanity.exe v1.00 officially released, I have updated the OP accordingly!
Let me know how you all get on…As it’s still work in progress… -
Thanks for the release, but still the same problem:
Prefix ‘6Chris’ not possible
Hint: valid bitcoin addresses begin with “1” -

[/quote]Hmmm yes 6Chris or 6chris doesn’t work :-\ , 6test does though :D
What command line parameters did you input to create your 6Chris address in the end?Edit: Are you sure you have created a valid 6chris for a Feathercoin address? It’s looking more like the 6c or 6C is out of the range of valid possibilities for a 6 prefix address?..
Double Edit: Re-read your posts, you got it working for Bitcoin :), yeah it is looking like 6chris or even 6c anything is not possible for a FTC address…You might have to try 6RChris that should work!
