Hey guys,
I'm currently generating me a 777****777 address. Is my calculation correct that it takes about 900,000 generated addresses to obtain one in my wanted format with 6 wanted digits characters (the 1st digit can't be a zero).
The script is running on my PC and on my university cluster which isn't much faster. It's unfortunately running with the NXT API and in python. So it's not the fastest. I would like to make a native C version.
For this I would have to work me into the algorithms. Is this something the community wants?
You can start from my vanity generator:
https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/vanity/src and add a Filter class that matches addresses in the format you want, should be just a few lines of code. Slower than C, but it can go through 8000 accounts per second on my laptop, and I just generated two accounts that start with 777777 in 400 seconds.
