with NKNxVanity

NKNxVanity is an open source tool using your web browser to generate NKN vanity addresses. Enter a short prefix/suffix of your choice, and click 'generate' to start.

What's a vanity address?

A vanity address is an address which part of it is chosen by yourself, making it look less random. Examples: NKNXXXhzGKct2cZuhSGW6xqiqeFVd5nJtAzg, or NKNGW6hzGKct2cZuhSGW6xqiqeFVd5nJtXXX

How it works

Enter the prefix/suffix of your choice, and click ‘generate’ to start. Your browser will generate lots of random addresses until one matches your input. Once an address is found, you can reveal the private key, or click the 'Download wallet' button to download a password-encrypted wallet file. You can increase the number of working threads to reach higher speeds, or decrease it if you computer struggles. A little indicator shows you if you match or exceed the numbers of threads available on your device.

Security

As explained above, everything is computed only in your browser. Nothing ever leaves your machine, or even your browser tab. There is no database, no server-side code. Everything vanishes when you close your tab. NKNxVanity cannot and will never store your private key, and if you don't trust it, you have 3 ways to ensure your key remains private:

• - Once the web page is loaded, you can turn off the internet and continue playing, it will work seamlessly
• - You can also download the latest build of NKNxVanity here and use it on a completely offline computer
• - The code is 100% open source and available on Github. You can review it as much as you want before using it

NKNxVanity uses the official NKN nkn-wallet-js implementation to generate addresses. The wallet file is generated according to the standards of NKN.

Performance

For some reason, the performance of NKNxVanity can vary a lot from a browser to another. Currently, Chrome provides the best results. Using NKNxVanity on your phone or tablet will work, but don't expect to reach the speed of a good old computer.

Compatibility

Any address generated with NKNxVanity is 100% mainnet compatible, which means you can use it like an ordinary wallet. The wallet file is 100% compatible with every NKN web wallet as well with NKNxVault Desktop app.
