On another note, I found a XC address that began with xchat!

Took over a million searches....
How?!

Did you generate the addresses
while result | egrep -i '^xchat'?
I modded the BIP38 paper wallet generator that Laredo created to find match based on some "vanity starting" parameters and it looped till it found it. It's really a rough hack job with no UI update for now.... I have to break into it to find out how many attempt it was at.

My requirement was that it had to be BIP38, but of course... I really didn't have to really do that now since I know how to encrypt an existing private key using BIP38 now.... So, even a normal address creation would have sufficed....
You know there is a vanity gen creator that works even better. This was made for Darkcoin but seeing how both use the same address format, it should work.
