Ethereum Vanity Address Generator

Important Notes

  • Generated mnemonics are encrypted in wallet.csv:
rmkcmvvaevdzupda,"See README for decryption instructions"
0x000Bb65F2e742F10492546bDaFD74F9BCEA427BD,nxI3NdxHKsIezLVu7UFBdkDM9pLLnEvgP/ZxlHtzq1ICtTDhhkKNCj8T1bAbyVKarh3wnYEng3hx1dPrxOEmYla9JO+OqIFTWc9VXdq8pay20DL+Kixy6mS3o4K0r11/Z3E5YQ==

Decryption Command:

ethereum-wallet-generator-worker decrypt \
  --key=rmkcmvvaevdzupda \
  --data=Z8qTxdkhRlTwbZEO+dppDCY7F3TWcsP/4B9q4V456stR2Ss7oFdHl5nWhMBNnrAP7J3H3xkk3jEzUqnAdW9V2nfgJKEsKh1QlCKy7lnfzKbVlKl020x5NAdfvzgeZ8+LQj5GgT9VbHI/jeO1XWc= \
  --limit=12

Technical Highlights

  1. Distributed Architecture: Leverage multiple devices for parallel computation
  2. Cross-Platform Support: Pre-built binaries for Windows/Linux/macOS/Android
  3. Secure Encryption: AES-256 encrypted mnemonics with automatic cleanup
  4. Smart Task Allocation: Dynamic workload distribution based on node capabilities

Performance Metrics

Device Type Addresses/sec
Modern Desktop ~25,000
Smartphone ~8,000
Raspberry Pi 4 ~12,000

Note: Performance varies based on pattern complexity and hardware specs

Roadmap

  • Web-based dashboard for cluster monitoring
  • GPU acceleration support
  • Multi-chain support (BNB Chain, Polygon, etc.)
  • Docker/Kubernetes deployment templates
