Bitcoin Vanity Address Generator

Overview

This is a Java-based Bitcoin vanity address generator that allows users to generate Bitcoin wallet addresses with specific vanity patterns. The generator can be run in the command line and supports three modes:

1. No args: Generates random Bitcoin wallet address.
2. 1 arg: Generates a Bitcoin wallet with a given word argument (using default 2 threads).
3. 2 args: Generates a Bitcoin wallet with a given word (1st arg) running on given number of threads (2nd arg).

Usage

Prerequisites

Make sure you have at least Java 8 installed on your machine.

Running the Generator

Clone this repository and navigate to the project directory in the command line. Build using mvn clean install

Mode 1: 0 Arguments

java -jar VanityWalletGenerator.jar

This command generates a random Bitcoin wallet address without any specific vanity pattern.

Mode 2: 1 Argument

java -jar VanityWalletGenerator.jar <word>

Replace <word> with the desired word or pattern. This command generates a Bitcoin wallet address with the specified vanity pattern using 2 threads.

Mode 3: 2 Arguments

java -jar VanityWalletGenerator.jar <word> <threads>

Replace with the desired word or pattern, and with the number of threads you want to use. This command generates a Bitcoin wallet address with the specified vanity pattern using the defined number of threads.

Note

Generating vanity addresses may take some time, especially with complex patterns and a higher number of threads. The expected time to completion increases exponentially for every additional character added into <word> Patience is advised but the process can be interrupted at any time.
