The speed comes from:

• Batched EdwardsPoint operations
• Only encoding the first 11 bytes of the Monero address.

This means that you cannot search for anything past 11 characters, e.g:

44hintoFpuo3ug...
          ^
----------|
The last character that will be looked at

'3ug' onward is ignored.

This is fine since you (probably) want the identifier to be near the front.

Anything past 8 characters is also unrealistic, see below:

Assuming speed of 72 million keys a second

After finding an address, create a new Monero wallet:

Input the address, private view key, and private spend key:

And verify your new wallet address is correct:

Usage: monero-vanity [--OPTIONS]

Options:
  -t, --threads <THREADS>  How many threads to use [default: HALF_THREADS]
  -p, --pattern <PATTERN>  Address regex pattern to look for
  -f, --first              Start from 1st character instead of: ^4.PATTERN.*$
  -r, --refresh <REFRESH>  How many milliseconds in-between output refreshes [default: 500]
  -v, --version            Print version
  -h, --help               Print help (see more with '--help')

Example 1 - Basic pattern using half threads:

./monero-vanity --pattern hinto

> 44hinto...

Example 2 - Advanced regex pattern using half threads:

./monero-vanity --first --pattern "^4(4|8)h(i|1)nto.*$"

> 48hinto...

After finding the private spend key:

./monero-wallet-cli --generate-from-spend-key YOUR_WALLET_NAME

Enter the private key and the generated wallet will have the address found.

Notes:

• Rust regex is allowed in any mode
• All characters must be ASCII, Unicode, or a regex pattern
• I, O, l, 0, +, / are invalid characters in Monero addresses
• Using slightly less than max threads might be faster

monero-vanity automatically prefixes your input with ^4. and suffixes it with .*$ so that your PATTERN starts from the 3rd character until the 11th character of the address.

Example input: hinto
Actual regex used: ^4.hinto.*$

To disable this, use --first.

Warning: this puts you in full control of the regex, you can input any value, even an impossible one.

If you're using Arch Linux, you can install from the AUR with:

paru monero-vanity

1. Random [u8; 64] is generated (512 bits/64 bytes)
2. Scalar is created by reducing the above bytes
3. 10,000 EdwardsPoint's are created with += 1 offsetting
4. EdwardsPoint are batch compressed into Y points
5. Mainnet byte and first 10 CompressedEdwardsY bytes are concatted
6. Those 11 bytes are encoded in base58
7. If regex matches, create full address and return to user, else...
8. Continue, either with next point or next batch

Notes:

• Each thread seeds its own RNG
• The (optional) private view key is also created by reducing 512 random bits
