vanitygen-wrapper

Thin ruby wrapper around vanitygen executable. Sibling project of https://github.com/bitvain/vanitygen-ruby.

Warning

Due to rampant use of pipes, signals, and subprocesses, this gem probably does not work in JRuby or Windows.

This also cannot be effectively tested in CI due to depending on an external executable.

Discretion is advised.

Installation

Download and install https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen

Make sure vanitygen is available in your $PATH.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'vanitygen-wrapper', require: 'vanitygen'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install vanitygen-wrapper

Usage

Verify pattern validity:

>> Vanitygen.valid?('1AB')
=> true
>> Vanitygen.valid?('2AB')
=> false

Check pattern difficulty:

>> Vanitygen.difficulty('1AB')
=> 1330
>> Vanitygen.difficulty('1AB', case_insensitive: true)
=> 654

Generate single addresses:

>> Vanitygen.generate('1AB')
=> {:pattern=>"1AB", :address=>"1ABz3svEbWHyj5penc6LLX6xvDfzZcsZu9", :private_key=>"5KRtsDfuiMf549QU1X6mNcTuYxd2V4XsjQBD8pgUMEPFGFADMzb"}

Continuously generate addresses:

>> Vanitygen.continuous('1AB') { |data| puts data }
{:pattern=>"1AB", :address=>"1ABsD3pMDJbmpQx941faFn5Tg7aeVccW9c", :private_key=>"5KAjmVJAoBgNNNtVqCWYofNH6N8erSBGd7omsLCzSWg9DHZJd15"}
{:pattern=>"1AB", :address=>"1ABzPupWHxiWRBhAPYmcxbBQoonE1CgF7u", :private_key=>"5KRB9rV78DdTp6RWD7K1mA7iNgRGTXDuA7aGvC4xJLPg4YLx5j2"}
{:pattern=>"1AB", :address=>"1ABc8fVqFW2SXBfmQh5B6u1cg9SEPF2xMP", :private_key=>"5JAVeQBXT2ZL5p6oLgK4QAiDVdC8J9ytLHT999TxzSwvHnkgu3T"}
