Signum Software Library

Basic Instructions for Windows:

• Create an empty folder to hold your plot files on your local system or external drive.  Do not use spaces.  Example:  E:\PlotFiles  or  E:\Plot_Files
• Download and unzip the latest version for your operating system.  Open the unzipped folder and double-click on the application (SignumPlotterGUI).  Follow your system’s prompts to install.
• In the application, enter the account’s numeric id, found in the upper left corner of your wallet.  (Note:  This is not the account address that begins with “S”)
• Output Folder:  Browse to the folder that you created to hold your plot files.
• Start Nonce:  Use the default of zero if plotting for the first time.  Otherwise, click on “auto from last file” and browse to the last plot file that you created so that the plotter can determine the starting nonce for a new plotting session automatically.
• Size to plot:  Choose “maximum” to fill your disk’s available space with individual plot files of a specific size.  Choose “value” to create a single file of a particular size.  Each nonce will use 256 KB of disk space.  Performance is not affected by the size of the file that is chosen.  However, dividing your plot files into several smaller files can be beneficial if you need to move them at some point or if you need to delete a portion of them to free up space for another purpose later.
• Click on Start Plotting.  Allow the plotting session to finish.  Depending on the number of plots that you create, this process can take hours or days.  It can be interrupted by clicking on “Stop Plotting” and resumed later.

Notes:

• To choose between using your CPU or GPU and to set limits on the memory and cores used, make a selection in the advanced settings tab.
• Avoid overlapping plot files (duplicates).  Consider your starting nonce numbers carefully.  Duplicate plot files are of no value.

The vanity address generator is a tool for creating vanity or branded Signum account addresses. All addresses must have “Burst” for the first five leading characters. The capital letter “i” (I), the capital letter “o” (O), zero (0), and the number one (1) are not permitted. To generate a vanity address, enter characters into the form provided. Set the resources that should be used (number of CPU threads) and desired length of the passphrase.

The algorithm which seeks for the account with the desired string is a brute force algorithm.  It checks every Signum account and passphrase combination sequentially. The time it takes to find a particular string increases significantly with every additional character. A string of 5 characters at the end takes approximately 4 minutes (more or less depending on computer resources). Each additional character increases the time required exponentially. A string of 8 characters would take approximately an hour.  Longer strings could take weeks.
