I've looked back many pages but I couldn't find anything.
Has anyone created and compiled a Windows 7 version of Vanitygen that works with AMD 290's?
You'll be my hero if you point me in the right direction Smiley

The oclvanitygen offered here should be appropriate for your system. You might need to install OpenCL/AMD Parallel Processing drivers.


I've attempted to use it in the past for newer AMD GPU's with no success.

Have there been code changes?

I can only get it to work with 5xxx & 6xxx GPU's.



Totally got this working not long after this post...
Thanks for the push hexafraction - I updated all my .net applications and got the most current Catalyst Control Center for my two R9 290's.
Rockin' some nice key rates Smiley
What rate are you getting for your 2 290s if you dont mind me asking? Im achieving 37 with my 970. I would expect you to be getting nearly double that?

 I've got a 7970 which is comparable to the R9 290 and I get around 25 MKeys/s so an educated guess would be 52-55 Mkeys/s running a pair.

What did you get for Christmas? My parent got me a new laptop and some biscuits. My girl got me a clash of clans sweater and I gave her love coupons.

1 hug.
1 foot rub.
7 Cook dinner

Who's buying me a laptop ?
No wonder you make topics about how much you love your life  Roll Eyes

Wait till you have to pay rent and bills and that slut cheats on you and you cant afford the CC and you car breaks down.. and you have to buy presents (not just receive them)

i could tell by every topic you made here you know sweet fuck all about life.
but ohhhh boy do you lecturing us all ROFL

..I've had zits on my ass longer than you've been alive son.

PS:
Fuck Christmas.

I txt'd my Mom "Merry xmaaaaas"
She txt'd back.. "LOL merry Kiss my ass"

Christmas is gay.

 Hey TheGr33k, remember when your parents told you "Don't talk to strangers."?
This is one of them.  You don't need to know about his life to enjoy your own.
 
 Hey Spoetnik, it's never too late to change your outlook.  Also, there are remedies for butt acne.


Head in the sand.. and pray you don't get run over ?
Brilliant ..simply BRILLIANT !
Yup.. i need to change my outlook LOL

Trust me life's a bitch ..i know Wink

 You don't have to have your head in the sand to ignore the fringe and what I said was, "it's never too late to change your outlook".  Whether you need to or not, is your prerogative.  Life's not a bitch; people are.  Seems like you've had a hard life but what's the point in demeaning others?

How much effort does it take to make one of these addresses? I can see it's fun and all but reusing addresses turns me off.

 Depends on how difficult an address you want.
7985  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Share your best vanity address!! on: December 27, 2015, 02:06:31 AM
If I remember rightly there was a service that offered to create vanity addresses. Surprise surprise vanity overruled a few people who forgot that the creator of the address also creates the private key...


It is possible to generate splitkey vanitygen addresses, that way the person mining your address never has access to your private key.

 YES!
Go to the site bitaddress.org, move your mouse around to add the randomness required then click on the "vanity wallet" button.  On that page look at "Step 1" - you will see a "generate" button.  Click it.  Copy the "Step 1 Public Key" and give that to the person generating the address for you (lets call him the hasher).  Copy the "Step 1 Private Key" and keep that to yourself.  You will combine your part private key with the part private key the hasher sends you in that same vanity wallet window and it will give you your bitcoin private key in wallet import format.  You're the only one that will know it!

Do a chargeback if you can...
I am sorry, but it seems you got scammed...

Yes, I've already initiated a return on ebay. I have to wait a few business days for ebay to respond/initiate the return and then couple more days after the scammer receives the item. Just sucks because this was a Christmas present. Hopefully everything works out and the scammer doesn't get away with it.

Nearly all BTC sales on ebay are scams. Much better and safer ways to buy Bitcoins. localbitcoins for instance offers escrow and so do a few sellers right here on the forum.

Also buying private keys is just senseless, as the seller can just reddem the coins before you ever get to import them.

Yes, lesson definitely learned now.
If you were truly scammed, make a post about it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 and give some details!

 edit - did you see Shorena's post? It could be a BIP38 encoded private key.

There's no bitcoin scarcity. There are MILLIONS of them being dumped EVERYDAY.  There's no mass adoption either. Nobody else around the world gives a sh$t about bitcoins. Only a chosen few here on the forum are constantly beating drums about $350K, $500K, or even $1million bitcoins.

The recent rise in price is due to the whales and manipulators drumming up the price in Anticipation of the Halving in July 2016. It's already being priced in. We might go up to $500-600, but that will be the upper range. If you are expecting $1000+, you will be sorely disappointed.

Glad to hear someone with common sense in this forum for a change. While I may be a little more optimistic on the future of Bitcoin long term it's astonishing to read how many here think Bitcoin is so amazing that they can't figure out why their friends or family can't understand it or don't want to be onboard nor use it. Well that's all you need to know about that, they just don't need it. It's hard, complicated, a hassle to buy and sell (mostly on the rest of the world, I understand it's easier in the US and Europe). It requires you to be tech savvy, to use decimals and convert it in your mind to your local currenty or dollars, to remember authorization keys. If you send money by error there are no refunds, you can actually lose millions of dollars if you make a simple mistake like forgetting a password, etc. However, the technology itself is as unique and innovative as the Internet was when it was created, so to me it's foolish to not be part of something like this even if there's a good chance that at the end it'll be replaced by something better or improved.

To invest a huge amount of your savings to me it's not really wise though, but I think it's worth the risk to invest a small share of it and see what happens.

 You don't know the meaning of common sense or scarcity if you believe this.
Of course there is bitcoin scarcity!  The trade-off is currently ~$450 USD per bitcoin.

Please, if I understand you correctly, you think there is or will be scarcity, and for that to happen, there should be an actual need or use for Bitcoin, there's not, so we'll see a time when Bitcoin either breaks through the mainstream somehow (maybe not massively adopted but it could start getting used by big companies and stores) or dies. It has no real value and it's virtual, gold has no inherent value but it's physical in that sense, if there's trouble or crisis, gold is always accepted so it's different. Plus it is needed in computers and other devices. Bitcoin has no actual value right now unless it creates one for itself and proves its worth. That's what it will come to.

 Your personal perceptions on the "actual need or use for Bitcoin" are not relevant to its scarcity; nothing else needs to happen.  You are misinformed.

Where did you get this "private key"?   It's obviously not a wallet import format private key because it doesn't start with a 5...

I'm sure it will be awesome, my brother-in-law is a chef and he's preparing the dinner this year.  I usually don't drink alcohol but I might have some Godiva white chocolate liqueur in my coffee for dessert today.  Christmas a good excuse to indulge Wink

I think there's a setting that flips out of discrete mode if your on battery.  It's a feature to conserve battery life.
