How to generate a vanity address for any cryptocurrency?

Hello! Today I show how to generate your own custom/vanity Bitcoin, LiteCoin, DogeCoin, etc with the prefix you want.


Let's start with a small explaining.

For generating a custom address (for example 1SaMPLE2gbGu8HJv37hdwzreNuq7Vubksq) you need to bruteforce the private key. You have the public key (which is the address you want) but you don't know the private key.

The program we will use is VanityGen (download clicking it). VanityGen will use the CPU (or the GPU if you use other version) for bruteforcing it.

Once you downloaded it you need to use the commandline and put:

vanitygen.exe 1(Whatever you want)

Remember that in Bitcoin the adresses starts always with 1.

The difficulty depends of the number of chars it has after the 1. If it has 5 or more it's difficult to do that with CPU. Use GPU instead for that calculations (use oclvanitygen.exe instead for that).


Well but I want to generate it for LiteCoin, DogeCoin, or even RabbitCoin! No problem. First you need to get a sample address of your currency. Then go to
http://darkgamex.ch:2751/q/decode_address/ + HERE PUT THE WALLET.
For example: http://darkgamex.ch:2751/q/decode_address/DDfkpuHCCTRiUcQ7QqhoyowRebvmKDVdDe For DogeCoin.


You will see 1e at the beginning. Now convert it to Decimal: 30 (you can use this web).

Right! Now run vanitygen.exe with this commandline:

vanitygen.exe -X [HERE THE DECIMAL YOU GOT] [Prefix of the coin][AnyThing]

Practical Example: vanitygen.exe -X 30 DSample

For other coins it will be the same process.
Here I give some details for coins:

-DogeCoin: vanitygen.exe -X 30 D[YOUR VANITY]
-LiteCoin: vanitygen.exe -X 48 L[YOUR VANITY]
-DopeCoin: vanitygen.exe -X 8 4[YOUR VANITY]

Enjoy!
