First compile `vanitygen++`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/10gic/vanitygen-plusplus
|
|
cd vanitygen-plusplus
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then generate some addresses:
|
|
|
|
`./vanitygen++ 1Pattern -z -k -o /tmp/addresses.csv`
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, to check more than one pattern at a time:
|
|
|
|
`./vanitygen++ -z -k -o /tmp/addresses.csv -f /path/to/patterns.txt`
|
|
|
|
Hit Control+C when you think you've got enough.
|
|
|
|
Then `cd` into this directory and generate a list of all the public keys:
|
|
|
|
`awk -F "\"*,\"*" '{print $3}' /tmp/addresses.csv > ./list-addresses.txt`
|
|
|
|
Then run the address checking script:
|
|
|
|
`python3 bitcoin-balance-checker.py`
|
|
|
|
Check to see if there were any hits:
|
|
|
|
`cat addresses-with-balance-yay.txt`
|
|
|
|
If the address is in this repo, I've already confirmed it has a balance of 0 BTC.
