vanityPattern ?

hi
in the default example file there is a
"vanityPattern" : "1[Ee][Mm][Ii][Ll].*"

does it limit to addresses that prefix those only? should I remove that?

Hi,

BitcoinAddressFinder/examples/config_Find_1OpenCLDevice.js

Line 16 in 8c69963

"enableVanity" : false,

BitcoinAddressFinder/src/main/java/net/ladenthin/bitcoinaddressfinder/ConsumerJava.java

Line 252 in 8c69963

if (consumerJava.enableVanity) {

The example file has a pattern but the additional pattern matching is deactivated because it slow down the finding process. It is a hybrid mode to look for vanity addresses during address finding. It is a hybrid mode and does not affect the address search in general. It looks out for vanity addresses in addition because the EC-Key generation is calculcation cost intensive and can be used for vanity addresses also.

You can test this mode easily if you type a short pattern of your choice and see that you have some vanity hits.
