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?

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.

   no, you were right asic miner cant use with vanitygen but maybe FPGA can do it but slow.
