How can I generate my PPC vanity address?

General
1

vanitygen -X 55
Once the key is generated you can use ppcoind importprivkey to import it into your wallet.

Hm, I am not good at programming. Could someone please give me a detailed guidance?

doesn’t seem to work in the current git

./vanitygen -X 55 Pxyz WARNING: Built with OpenSSL 0.9.8y 5 Feb 2013 WARNING: Use OpenSSL 1.0.0d+ for best performance Prefix 'Pxyz' not possible Hint: valid bitcoin addresses begin with "1"

try this:

./vanitygen -X 55 Pblah -k

(you need to add the -k switch to what you had)

Actually, the cause of problem is Peercoin address is more specific than Bitcoin, things like Pabc, Pk, P123 are not PPC address format,

./vanitygen -X 55 PABST

for example, works perfectly

You can build Vanitygen on Linux Mint running this in the Terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen.git
$ cd vanitygen
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libpcre3 libpcre3-dev automake
$ make

That’s the patched version we’ve got for PPC: https://github.com/FuzzyBearBTC/vanitygen
