VanityGenerator

A Java implementation of Bitcoin address Vanity Generator

This project is inspired by Vanitygen that is built in Java and relies on bitcoinJ.

What it does:

  • Searches for queries supplied by the user in a single or multi-threaded approach.
  • Can search for compressed, uncompressed addresses.
  • Can search for P2SH addresses
  • Provides simple stats while searching such as total amount of addresses generated since that search was started and speed per second.

Defining Queries:

  • The basis of searching relies on Pattern provided by java.util.regex. RegexQuery is the base definition of a query; it is a wrapper around a Pattern and a few booleans indicating what type of address to search for.
  • Another type of query is simply called Query which takes a QueryBuilder as its definition. Query is meant to serve as a more flexible RegexQuery such that you are able to define a word (query) and decide how you want it to show up in an address. With Query you are able to switch between a 'Begins' and a 'Contains' searching pattern, toggle case insensitivity, and you are provided with pseudo odds on how long it will take to find.
  • The last type of query you can use is a NetworkQuery (which may be deprecated shortly - 12-9-15) which extends RegexQuery. Everything is the same as RegexQuery along with defining a Network to search on by itself. If you have a Search thread running with a predefined GlobalNetParams and you have one NetworkQuery whose network does not match the threads network, NetworkQuery will only use its own Network when mathces is called.

Coming Soon:

  • Encrypted keys
  • Better odds
  • Much more

What needs work:

  • Flexibility of searching with regular expressions (removing sub patterns if desired)
  • Test classes

Examples are provided within the examples module.
