Title: Is it possible to use the USB block erupter for vanity address generation? Post by: Boelens on August 09, 2013, 04:57:53 PM Curious if this is possible, if so, how?

Post by: mitty on August 09, 2013, 05:01:08 PM I'm going to guess "no" since I'm pretty sure vanity address generation involves creating a bunch of addresses in the form of public/private key pairs, and the USB sticks are designed only for hashing block headers.
I might be wrong though. Title: Re: Is it possible to use the USB block erupter for vanity address generation?
