Hello everyone! If anyone wants their own vanity address, i will provide here a guide how to do so.
Since im not a programmer, i will not even try to add a flag to the code seperately so you will pretty much need to use the whole line i provided.
I only did this guide for windows, because im sure many GNU/Linux users will know how to use the vanitygen and compile.

First download the executable from HERE
Then extract the folder somewhere on your computer.

After that, edit the bat file and will look like this:

Code:

vanitygen.exe -X 8 4add
pause

Do not change the anything apart from the "add" part of the file, other ones are important parts.
If you example want to generate addy starting like "4aoo" change the file to following:

Code:

vanitygen.exe -X 8 4aoo
pause

Then just save the file, and run the bat file.

you should get something like this as output

Code:

Difficulty: 78508
Pattern: 4aoo
Address: 4aooMUfwdJCXbN8RcoTTbBhsitkfhpR9oJ
Privkey: 5azcRvceSKdB7dFtdZAaeFhLpsfgDkYNf3RLQzzUXzHuR6XFtoF

Then just copy the private key that you created, and go to your 42-qt -> help -> debug window -> console
then write the following line with your private key

Code:

importprivkey yourprivkeyhere

I hope many of you will find this information valuable

Edit: you cannot use the following characters in the pattern: 0 (zero), O (capital o), I (capital i) and l (lower case L) as well as the non-alphanumeric characters + (plus) and / (slash)

Generated by vanitygen addresses use uncompressed keys which increases the size of transactions and can lead to the higher tx fees.
You can generate a compressed key by using this modified version: https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus/releases (with GPU support).

On CPU:

Code:

vanitygen.exe -F compressed -X 8 4add
pause

On GPU (OpenCL):

Code:

oclvanitygen.exe -F compressed -X 8 4add
pause
