Vanity address maker
Get a Garlicoin address that starts with a word you pick, like GBread… or grlc1qtasty…. Your device tries random keys until one fits. The key never leaves this page.

Save the private key now. It's the only way to spend coins sent to this address, and it disappears when you close this page. Anyone who sees it can take the coins.
Private key

To use it, open the console in Garlicoin Core (Window → Console, or Help → Debug window → Console) and type importprivkey, a space, then the private key. The wallet then checks the chain for the address's coins, which can take a while.
How long will it take?
Each extra letter makes it many times harder: about 58 times for G addresses (half that if capitals don't matter), and 32 times for grlc1q addresses.
| Letters | G, any case | grlc1q |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | a second | instant |
| 4 | a minute | seconds |
| 5 | an hour | a few minutes |
| 6 | days | a few hours |
Rough times for a recent laptop. Phones are slower. Some starts are impossible: after the G, only certain letters can come second.
Is it safe?
- Keys are made from your browser's secure random numbers, on your device. This page can't send anything anywhere.
- A vanity address is as safe as any other. It just took longer to find.
- For big amounts, use an address made by your own wallet.
