# nakatoshi
[](https://github.com/ndelvalle/nakatoshi/actions?query=workflow%3ARust)
A [Bitcoin Vanity Address](https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/ch04.asciidoc#vanity-addresses) generator.
nakatoshi accepts as input a prefix string (Or a file with multiple prefixes) to search for and produce
a Bitcoin address and private / public keys. The amount of time required to find a given pattern depends
on how long the string is, the speed of your computer, and whether you get lucky.
## Install
### MacOS
```
$ brew tap ndelvalle/utilities
$ brew install nakatoshi
```
### Cargo
```
$ cargo install nakatoshi
```
### Manually
Download the latest [released binary](https://github.com/ndelvalle/nakatoshi/releases)
and add executable permissions:
```bash
# Linux example:
$ wget -O nakatoshi "https://github.com/ndelvalle/nakatoshi/releases/download/v0.2.4/nakatoshi-linux-amd64"
$ chmod +x nakatoshi
```
## CLI
```
USAGE:
nakatoshi [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --input-file
FLAGS:
-b, --bech32 Use Bech32 addresses. Starting with bc1q (Lowercase address)
-c, --case-sensitive Use case sensitive comparison to match addresses
-h, --help Prints help information
-u, --uncompressed Use uncompressed private an public keys
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-i, --input-file File with prefixes to match addresses with
-t, --threads Number of threads to be used [default: The number of CPUs available on the current
system]
ARGS:
Prefix used to match addresses
```
## Examples:
#### Generate a vanity address
```shell
nakatoshi 1Kids
```
#### Generate a vanity address and parse JSON response
```shell
nakatoshi 1Bitc | jq
```
#### Use a file with multiple prefixes
A file with one address prefix on each newline can be used to search for a vanity
address. This reduces the time to find a result.
Example:
```shell
nakatoshi --input-file input.txt
```
The contents of the `input.txt` file looks like this:
```
1Kids
1Love
```
#### Bech32 addresses
```shell
nakatoshi -b bc1qki
```
Note: There is no need to search with the `case-sensitive` flag because `bc1q` addresses are
always lowercase.
## Development
```shell
# Build
$ cargo build
# Help
$ cargo run -- -help
```
Note: `Cargo run` creates an unoptimized executable with debug info. When testing
the speed/throughput of the application, make sure to use `cargo run --release`.
