nakatoshi

A Bitcoin Vanity Address generator.

nakatoshi accepts as input a prefix string (Or a file with multiple prefixes) to search for and produce a Bitcoin address and private / public keys. The amount of time required to find a given pattern depends on how long the string is, the speed of your computer, and whether you get lucky.

Examples:

Generate a vanity address

nakatoshi 1Kids

Generate a vanity address and parse JSON response

nakatoshi 1Bitc | jq

Use a file with multiple prefixes

A file with one address prefix on each newline can be used to search for a vanity address. This reduces the time to find a result.

Example:

nakatoshi --input-file input.txt

The contents of the input.txt file looks like this:

1Kids
1Love

Bech32 addresses

nakatoshi -b bc1qki

Note: There is no need to search with the case-sensitive flag because bc1q addresses are always lowercase.

Development

# Build
$ cargo build

# Help
$ cargo run -- -help

Note: Cargo run creates an unoptimized executable with debug info. When testing the speed/throughput of the application, make sure to use cargo run --release.
