Vanity address generator for https://turtlecoin.lol/

Work in Progress

This repository contains Nim wrappers over a few of the cryptonote cryptographic primitives and some address handling procedures.

These wrappers are used for a vanity address generator for TurtleCoin. Most of this repository was programmed by @ehmry (nim-monero).

Building

Clone the repository and run nimble build.

Running

Run the binary in the out directory with your desired prefix.

Limitations

Currently, only one block is encoded to base58 resulting in 12 characters.

TurtleCoin addresses start with TRTL, followed by either u or v, followed by a subset of characters of the base58 alphabet followed by other base58 characters. This means that the first 6 characters of a TurtleCoin address are either fixed or limited to a subset of the base58 alphabet. Therefore, it only makes sense to search for the prefix after the sixth character. This also means that only prefixes up to six characters can be found.

If you want to search for a longer prefix, uncomment the lines below

#cryptonote.encodeBlock(b58, 11, buf, FullBlockSize, FullBlockSize)
#b58 = newString(cryptonote.FullEncodedBlockSize * 2)

and delete the following line

b58 = newString(cryptonote.FullEncodedBlockSize)

Be also aware that prefixes with 6 or more characters can take a very long time. The time added per character grows exponentially.
