🦀Bitcoin vanity address generator using Rust lang

rust-bitcoin-vanity

This tool creates a set of Bitcoin mainnet private, public key and vanity address (Essentially a personalized bitcoin address). This project is a proof of concept to play around with Rust lang.

bitcoin-vanity accepts as input a "starts with" pattern to search for, and produces an address and private / public keys. The amount of time required to find a given pattern depends on how complex the pattern is, the speed of your computer, and whether you get lucky.
