Tutorial on how to get a custom word (vanity) Bitcoin address without using any shitty software or fake online services that will steal your coin.

Tutorial

WINDOWS

First Install chocolatey
Run powershell as an administrator and copy and paste this command
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Next install the GNU C Compiler for windows as well as Rustlang (copy and paste into powershell)
choco install mingw rust -y

now reload the PATH in powershell (copy and paste into powershell)
$envath = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")

Now install nakatoshi using cargo (https://github.com/ndelvalle/nakatoshi)
cargo install nakatoshi

To use nakatoshi you need to add C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\.cargo\bin to your PATH.

Tutorial for those who don't know how to

now reload the PATH in powershell again
$envath = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")

You can now generate your custom bitcoin address.

Running this command returns with the -c flag will specify that the desired vanity is CaSe SeNsAtIvE.
You can also run nakatoshi with -t 1 to use only a single thread so it can be ran in the background and not use up all of your CPU.

The longer your desired vanity is the more time it will take to generate. stick to 3-6 letters.
nakatoshi -c 1Dead

#Single thread
nakatoshi -t 1 -c 1Dead

On completion it will return your address, public key and private key.
{"address":"1DeadhYRVX58TeYqn1QCemV9iZpDxcBR9C","metadata":{"attempts":312478,"seconds_elapsed":1},"private_key":"REDACTED","public_key":"REDACTED"}

Never share your private key with anyone, to use the address import the private key into your bitcoin wallet of choice.

Following this exactly everything should have installed correctly if you get any errors, feel free to pm me.
