Re: Searching Vanitygen with seed + passphrase generator (CUDA GPU Mode)

I had found something on Github which is already very nice with GUI:
https://github.com/adrijano/Bitcoin-wallet-cracker

Even if it is actually a Bitcoin cracker, something like this is also suitable for generating wallets and the pattern like "1Love" can be found via search.
If you can write the whole thing automatically into a file or directly as CSV with columns, that would be perfect.
You can't use the Mnemonic generated by that tool in almost all Bitcoin wallets.
I checked it and the first step is quite good which generates a random set of words from "BIP0039.txt" and then set random a 'BIP39 passphrase' from your "password list.txt".
However, it generates the address from the first half of the seed derived from the above (used as PrvKey) instead of deriving a master private key and extended keys using the standard derivation paths.

Plus, I can't find a way to search vanity addresses with it.
It's totally meant for cracking and its mnemonic is just a way to generate entropy, not for wallet generation purposes.

That means the script is not a good way to generate a wallet that i use for finanical stuff? but have the script, if i use 24 words a lower entropy with the wallet applications that use bip39? i mean every 24 words have same entropy?
