There's been an update release for the Waves "walletgenerator" so I updated my tutorial too:
Update 1.1 | How to generate Waves Vanity addressesFor Waves I found an easy way to generate personal "vanity" addresses, like
3PHMaGNeTJfqFfD4xuctgKdoxLX188QM8naLet me explain how to do this in this tutorial:
Steps:
1. First make sure
Oracle Java is installed.
2. Download the walletgenerator.jar (release 1.1) from
https://github.com/PyWaves/scala_walletgenerator/releases3. If you don't trust the jar, compile it yourself or disconnect your computer from the internet.
4. Run the following command line, change the password and name to whatever you like.
For an address with random upper and lower case characters (faster):
java -jar walletgenerator.jar -c 999999999 -p password -f MAGNET
For an address with an exact match of upper and lower case (slower):
java -jar walletgenerator.jar -c 999999999 -p password -f MaGNeT -s
Note: some characters are not allowed, Waves addresses are base58, so 0 (zero), O (capital o), I (capital i), l (lower case L) cannot be generated.5. Wait, be patient, this may take a while, even on a fast computer. If you are in a hurry, keep it to a maximum of 6 characters. Names over 7 characters may take days but it also depends on luck and CPU speed.
6. The walletgenerator will generate a wallet.dat and a CSV file holding the seed, private key, address, etc.
7. If the walletgenerator didn't generate a address you like, run it over and over again until you are satisfied. Patience is key here
8. Save the seed, wallet.dat and password of the address you like to keep in a safe place, also print the seed and store it away safely.
Official "read me" manual for the "Waves wallet generator":
Waves wallet generator
This tool generates Waves addresses with 15 word seeds compatible with Waves Lite Client and Waves Full Node. The output is exported to a 'wallet.dat' for the Full Node and to a CSV file, 'addresses.csv', which contains the list of all generated addresses with seeds, private keys and public keys.
