On another note, I found a XC address that began with xchat!  Wink   XCHaTxgu3cMtwokhSh2gsBBN5wUT77F6EK

Took over a million searches....

How?! Grin 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. Wink

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.

Darkcoin prefix is 0xCC while XC is 0xCB.   Network version is 0x4C for DRK and 0x4B for XC.  Where can I change this prefix in the DarkVanityGen source?

Edit: I think I found it.   I need to change the addrtype and privtype in oclvanitygen.c right?  I added this to the beginning of that parameter processing:

Code:
while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv,
     "vqik1xNTXC:eE:p:P:d:w:t:g:b:VSh?f:o:s:D:")) != -1) {
switch (opt) {
case 'C':
addrtype=75;
privtype=205;
break;

Let's see if it will work....
