A simple Ethereum vanity address "generator" written in golang.

You have to have go (golang) installed

Go get this repo:

go get github.com/iwat/vanieth

cd into it:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/iwat/vanieth

An then run it!

go run vanieth.go 42

Address found:
addr: 0x429e6a85ed72fddf6c5679da1ac033ab65ad68a7
pvt: 0x0ce2f8e425121d5b7f078b6bce4c9bf23937ee4fd9b62ff2e81d84b724eb5e1b

The returned address and private key are in hex format. As you can see the ethereum address starts with the mythical 42.

Here's a more complex vanity address, this will take a significally longer time to do a complete run.

go run vanieth.go 1234

Address found:
addr: 0x123411cc4a2e2e3238ee8e22d0d7b3cf2c8add9c
pvt: 0x208439bf49edbc236bcffaa831e32006b91e6251150992fe5e704a3c3870415d

The more chars you add, the longer the time will be, exponentially!

Note: you have to supply hexadecimal characters only, so from 0 to 9 and from A to F, there's no check at the moment for wrong input.

Compile and run:

go build vanieth.go; ./vanieth 1234

This will be a bit more efficient than the examples shown above.

Enjoy,
