What are the other methods of generating vanity addresses?

The original method of generating vanity addresses is a patch to the official bitcoin client created by Gavin Andresen. Details can be found here.

Forum user Nyhm created an in-browser vanity address generator.

There is a new vanity address generator for Android.

I would like to present a new bitcoin prefix address finder called VanitySearch. It is very similar to Vanitygen.

VanitySearch is available from https://github.com/JeanLucPons/VanitySearch

Benchmarks for various hardware (By DaveF):

There is still lots of improvement to do.
Feel free to test it and to submit issue.

How do I import the private key into bitcoin?

If you wish to spend coins received on a vanity address created by vanitygen, you must import the private key into a bitcoin client. There are two popular methods of doing this with the standard Satoshi bitcoin client:

Use the importprivkey command. To do this, select Help -> Debug Window, and in the window, on the bottom line, enter importprivkey <privatekey>, e.g.

Code:

importprivkey 5J4XJRyLVgzbXEgh8VNi4qovLzxRftzMd8a18KkdXv4EqAwX3tS

Jackjack's pywallet script is an all-in-one tool that directly modifies the wallet.dat file. This works with a normal, unpatched bitcoin client, but does require Python with the bsddb package.

Note: This is under active development, currently on an experimental branch offering 5x speedup. I will post further updates when appropriate.

By popular demand:

The code for this is reasonably solid, notwithstanding some inelegance in main() which will be refactored. On FreeBSD, it’s been my dogfood for over six weeks; I have also built it and tried basic functionality on Linux. But it needs error, warning, and usage messages—plus the manpage!
