A standalone command-line vanity Bitcoin address generator written in C that searches for addresses matching custom prefixes or regular expressions. It runs multi-threaded on the CPU and is significantly faster than the patched official Bitcoin client.

Use cases

  • generate a bitcoin address starting with a custom prefix
  • create a personalized vanity crypto address
  • search bitcoin addresses matching a regex pattern
  • generate namecoin or testnet vanity addresses
  • estimate difficulty of a vanity address pattern
  • batch search a list of address prefixes from a file

When to choose

  • you want fast CPU-based vanity address generation without GPU dependencies
  • you need regex or multi-pattern prefix search with difficulty estimates
  • you need namecoin or testnet address support

When to avoid

  • you need GPU-accelerated generation for very long prefixes
  • you want easy private key import into modern Bitcoin Core wallets
  • you need actively developed software with recent feature updates
