What's a vanity address?
A vanity address is an address which part of it is chosen by yourself,
making it look less random.
Examples: 1hellot661JXGRd7XzvmB7H8nsUZuw24U, or 1J6XiPDfPSwBBBBBBBU19y8DNTYt86jNaS
How it works
Enter the phrase of your choice, select where you would like to place it,
(prefix/suffix/anywhere) and click ‘generate’ to start.
Your browser will generate lots of random addresses until one matches your input.
Once an address is found, you can reveal the private key.
You
can increase the number of working threads to reach higher speeds, or decrease it if you
device struggles.
Security
As explained above, everything is computed only in your browser. Nothing
ever leaves your machine, or even your browser tab. There is no database, no server-side
code. Everything vanishes when you close your tab.
Vanity-BTC cannot and will never store your
private key, and if you don't trust it, you have 3 ways to ensure your key remains
private:
- Once the web page is loaded, you can turn off the internet
and continue playing, it will work seamlessly
- You can also download
the latest build of Vanity-BTC here and use it on a
completely offline computer
- The code is 100% open source and
available on Github. You can review it as much as you want before using it
Performance
For some reason, the performance of Vanity-BTC can vary a lot from a
browser to another. Currently, Chrome provides the best results.
Using Vanity-BTC on your phone or tablet will work, but don't expect to reach the speed of a
good old (super) computer.
Compatibility
Any address generated with Vanity-BTC is can be used as any normal wallet!
