Any one have the link to the script / instructions one guy posted here to create a vanity address?

This one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.msg3735874#msg3735874)?

Hello folks. I am new here and don't have NXTs yet, but instead of just asking to send me some I figured I'd give something in return

I've noticed in the other thread there's been some discussion on generating short addresses. I've made a tool that could help with this; it is also much faster than the Java one posted before. It's free and you can grab it here (Windows binaries): https://mega.co.nz/#!9MkAWQ4Z!bz3BFCsVRSK_4Euhn8c-aj-umjstTsCe7-VYEcCYTEY

To use open command-line window and run it:

Code:

vanitygen_64.exe

(Please use 64-bit binary whenever possible; it's like 3x faster than 32-bit one)

By default it'll use all available cores; if you'd rather limit it's appetite just specify number of threads to use on the command line:

Code:

vanitygen_64.exe 4

That's it. When running, it will print out gradually decreasing account numbers and their passwords, e.g.:

Code:

vanitygen_64.exe

As a bonus you can be sure that password is secure - it is composed of per-thread 16-character random prefix and random suffix of length 1 to 8.

Now, back to the opening point. If you find the tool useful and/or fun please consider sending few tokens of appreciation to account number 86533079761. Thanks

isn't a password, that is generated by such a tool, insecure?
