Hi,
I am fascinated by Bitcoin and found Vanitygen particularly interesting.
I think I understand most of how it works except for the split key generation.
I get how the process works, but I cannot understand exactly how the PrivkeyPart and the address are calculated as the PrivkeyPart is not the private key for the Address. So how are they calculated seperately?
If anyone could provide an answer it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You can find the basics of the agorithm here:
http:<slashslash>gobittest.appspot.com/VanityAll
On this site your can combine both private and public key to generate new results.
It show you raw private/public keys as well as the generated bitcoin addresses.
It supports both addition and multiplication, where as vanitygen only uses one methode, addition I believe.
