v0.4.0

GPU-accelerated Ergo vanity address generator. Find Ergo wallet addresses matching a custom prefix (e.g., 9ergo...).

Warning: Early development. Verify generated mnemonics with official Ergo wallet before using for significant funds.

Requirements

A GPU with up-to-date drivers (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel). Drivers include OpenCL support needed to run this tool.

The Linux build also embeds an optional NVIDIA CUDA backend for sm_75+ GPUs (GTX 16xx, RTX 20/30/40/50 series). It is opt-in: set ERG_BACKEND=cuda, otherwise OpenCL is used.

Getting Started

Windows

1. Download erg-vanity-windows-x64.zip and extract it
2. Open PowerShell, navigate to the folder: cd C:\path\to\extracted\folder
3. Run: .\erg-vanity.exe 9err

macOS

1. Download the .tar.gz for your Mac (arm64 = Apple Silicon, x64 = Intel)
2. Open Terminal:

   tar -xzf erg-vanity-macos-*.tar.gz
   ./erg-vanity 9err
   

3. If blocked: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Allow

Linux

1. Download erg-vanity-linux-x64.tar.gz
2. Open terminal:

   tar -xzf erg-vanity-linux-x64.tar.gz
   ./erg-vanity 9err
   

Examples

./erg-vanity 9err                    # Find address starting with "9err"
ERG_BACKEND=cuda ./erg-vanity 9err   # NVIDIA CUDA backend (Linux build)
./erg-vanity -p 9ErGo -i             # Case-insensitive
./erg-vanity -p 9err,9ego,9fun       # Multiple patterns
./erg-vanity -p 9err -n 5            # Find 5 matches
./erg-vanity --list-devices          # List GPUs

When a match is found, save the 24-word mnemonic securely - it controls the wallet.
