For custom vanity addresses, download vanitygen and run:
vanitygen64 -X 50 -k -o output.txt Mprefix
Where this will search for addresses with that prefix
e.g.:
vanitygen64 -X 50 -k -o max.txt MAX
You should then get a "found pattern" message with the address and private key.
Questions:
1) I've never gotten oclvanitygen to work...just spits out GPU Hash / CPU Hash / found delta strings and keeps going...suggestions?
2) The -v option gives the public keys and a longer private key in "ASN1" format?? What are these for?
3) Can pool mining an address be combined with coin mining somehow? Not sure how that would be useful, really...
