            Vanity-ETH is an open source tool using your web browser to generate Ethereum vanity addresses.<br>
            Enter a short prefix/suffix of your choice, and click ‘generate’ to start.
        </p>
        <div class="shortcut">

        <h2>What's a vanity address?</h2>
        <p>
            A vanity address is an address which part of it is chosen by yourself, making it look less random.<br>
            Examples: <span class="monospace">0xc0ffee254729296a45a3885639AC7E10F9d54979</span>, or
            <span class="monospace">0x999999cf1046e68e36E1aA2E0E07105eDDD1f08E</span>
        </p>

        <h2>How it works</h2>
        <p>
            Enter the prefix/suffix of your choice, and click ‘generate’ to start. Your browser will generate lots of random
            addresses until one matches your input.<br>
            Once an address is found, you can reveal the private key, or click the 'save' button to download
            a password-encrypted keystore file.<br>
            You can increase the number of working threads to reach higher speeds, or decrease it if you computer
            struggles.<br>

        </p>
        <h2>Security</h2>
        <p>
            As explained above, everything is computed only in your browser. Nothing ever leaves your machine, or even
            your browser tab. There is no database, no server-side code. Everything vanishes when you close your tab.<br><br>
            <b>Vanity-ETH cannot and will never store your private key</b>, and if you don't trust it, you have 3 ways to ensure
            your key remains private:<br>
            &nbsp;-&nbsp;Once the web page is loaded, you can turn off the internet and continue playing, it will work seamlessly<br>
            &nbsp;-&nbsp;You can also download the latest build of Vanity-ETH
            <a href="https://git.io/veth-dl" target="_blank">here</a> and use it on a completely offline computer<br>
            &nbsp;-&nbsp;The code is 100% open source and available on
            <a href="https://github.com/bokub/vanity-eth" target="_blank">Github</a>. You can review it as much as you want before using it<br>
            <br>
            Vanity-ETH uses a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) to generate
            Ethereum addresses.<br>
            The keystore file is encrypted with a AES-128-CTR cipher using the BKDF2-SHA256 derivation function with 65536 hashing rounds.
        </p>
        <h2>Performance</h2>
        <p>
            For some reason, the performance of Vanity-ETH can vary a lot from a browser to another.
            Currently, Chrome provides the best results.<br>
            Using Vanity-ETH on your phone or tablet will work, but don't expect to reach the speed of a good old computer.
        </p>
        <h2>Compatibility</h2>
        <p>
            Any address generated with Vanity-ETH is ERC-20 compatible, which means you can use it for an ICO, an
            airdrop, or just to withdraw your funds from an exchange.<br>
            The keystore file is 100% compatible with MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, Mist, and geth.
