Mine Bitcoin Vanity Addresses ⛏️🅰️🅱️🅾️
The Bitcoin Address Miner is a utility written in Rust
that generates random BIP-32, Base58 P2PKH Bitcoin addresses and searches for addresses that start with a user-specified sequence of characters.
It utilizes multiple asynchronous threads to mine addresses concurrently.
So, when you combine Base58 encoding with a P2PKH address, you get a format that looks like a string of characters, such as 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
.
This is the well-known address associated with the first-ever Bitcoin transaction.
The Bitcoin Address Miner is designed for individuals interested in exploring Bitcoin address generation and conducting experiments related to address matching. Potential use cases include:
Educational Purposes: Learn about Bitcoin address generation, key pairs, and the structure of Bitcoin addresses.
Security Research: Test the robustness of address generation algorithms and study patterns in address creation.
Address Customization: Find Bitcoin addresses that start with specific characters for custom address creation.
