Build

Method 1: Manual Dependency Installation

Step 1: Install dependencies

On Redhat/CentOS:

$ yum install openssl-devel
$ yum install libcurl-devel

On Ubuntu:

$ apt install build-essential
$ apt install libssl-dev
$ apt install libpcre3-dev
$ apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev

On MacOS:

$ brew install openssl@3
$ brew install pcre

Step 2: Build the executable files:

$ make          # builds: vanitygen++ keyconv
$ make all      # builds: vanitygen++ keyconv oclvanitygen++ oclvanityminer

Method 2: Automatic Dependency Installation (nix-build)

First, install nix-build. For more information, visit: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/installing-binary.html

After successfully installing nix-build, run:

$ git clone https://github.com/10gic/vanitygen-plusplus.git
$ cd vanitygen-plusplus
$ nix-build                           # Builds: vanitygen++ oclvanitygen++ keyconv oclvanityminer
$ ./result/bin/vanitygen++ 1Love      # Executable files are located in ./result/bin/
Pattern: 1Love

Split-Key Vanity Address Generation

This tool supports split-key vanity address generation.

Step 1: Alice generates a key pair on her computer:

$ ./keyconv -G
Pubkey (hex): 044a9fef408ec4db7e264c8f1bfc712a9f6089025bd1980660f7f72c731b7d4c6a6fa5e0fe2174aaa02fffb6ed4a5735fc3109bae2fefe060d8a09bdb8f819f38b
Privkey (hex): B6761A9A575C3C125F24B09A7ADB5F3613BB654F73ADB7097657D737FCD1C310
Address: 1AF518xd1zBNCQh2q1qsneaxAs5nPyXzNf
Privkey: 5KCeK2bzDq2YzUMfwUrNp79mEsk2eeY1dzYtCTTxEgbbFav8RtA

Alice then sends the generated public key and desired prefix (e.g., 1ALice) to Bob. However, Alice must keep her private key secure and never expose it.

Step 2: Bob runs vanitygen++ (or oclvanitygen++) using Alice's public key and the desired prefix (1ALice):

$ ./vanitygen++ -P 044a9fef408ec4db7e264c8f1bfc712a9f6089025bd1980660f7f72c731b7d4c6a6fa5e0fe2174aaa02fffb6ed4a5735fc3109bae2fefe060d8a09bdb8f819f38b 1ALice
Difficulty: 259627881
Pattern: 1ALice
Address: 1ALicexPg59dVvYgtAP8QCphdrFep6nRwy
PrivkeyPart: 5KAuZAyz71TFwgDpiBPyMJX6YFxKyJEJDsr2tNr8uraw6JLBMpQ

Bob sends the generated PrivkeyPart back to Alice. This partial private key does not reveal any information about Alice's final private key.

Step 3: Alice reconstructs the final private key using her private key (generated in step 1) and the PrivkeyPart from Bob:

$ ./keyconv -c 5KAuZAyz71TFwgDpiBPyMJX6YFxKyJEJDsr2tNr8uraw6JLBMpQ 5KCeK2bzDq2YzUMfwUrNp79mEsk2eeY1dzYtCTTxEgbbFav8RtA
Address: 1ALicexPg59dVvYgtAP8QCphdrFep6nRwy
Privkey: 5JcX7HgrPxEbYKcWhtBT83L3BHcdJ8K8p8X1sNHmcJLsSyMNycZ
