Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Vanity Wallet Console allows you to generate Ethereum addresses with custom beginnings, endings, or both! This application runs in the terminal and is completely offline. All generated addresses are saved in .txt format to the current directory in the form {address}.txt. If a keys/ folder exists in the directory this script was run in, the app will save the file there instead.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/vanity-wallet-console

Usage

Install vanity-wallet-console globally from the NPM

npm install -g vanity-wallet-console

Then just run the command and follow the prompts to generate your vanity address!

vanity-wallet-console

Examples

Here are some example addresses that have been generated with this app:

0x000000d397E6f21813CE8E7f1Ec9C0271185cA24
0xef933F4abC45392d777738ccB506c848c24Eface
0xB33F3DDd63439f0EdBBee2952Ac3204113554Fd8
0x8882868860de58fdBF6Def09E03f08c49Fc87888

What is this application doing?

Ethereum addresses are generated through a series of mathematical operations. Ethereum uses an elliptic curve hashing algorithm called P-256K to generate public keys. Public keys are then hashed and checksummed to produce a final 20-byte (40 hexidecimal characters) long address.

  1. Generate a random 32-length array of bytes. Use this byte array as the private key.
  2. Convert the byte array to hexidecimal string representation. Each byte is 8 bits of information, with each 4 bit half representing one hexidecimal character.
  3. Use the elliptic curve secp256k1 hashing algorithm to derive the public key.
  4. Derive the Ethereum address by converting the first significant 40 bytes to hexidecimal characters. Skip the first byte (always 0x04, denotes uncompressed version)
  5. Run checks to see if the generated address matches the user input
  6. If case sensitivity is enabled, validate that the address produces a valid ENS checksum.
