why ?

i don't have electrisity and cooling problem .

just interested me , why don't worth in home mining ? problem is this that same profitable isn't will be ?
Let's say you want to use 50x BF4500 by Bitfury.
Each unit needs 3000W of power. That's a total of 150 000W or 150kW. I'm not sure exactly how much power you can draw at the same time, but the number is definitely lower than that.
It's is not worth it because people with bigger farms and more capital will run you out of business.
I interested me worth if not mining ?

Maybe that Mining will cancel ?
This doesn't make sense. Use google translate; it is going to be more accurate.

I should will buy 50 s3 and this dont is problem .

I want just know , exist any cause that mining will shut down ? I dont want that my 50 s3 Dont need .

How many about years will exist mining ? My in house that will have miners

 Not to buy 50 S3.  Much waste!  Make pay for English lesson rather.  Ability come understand advice seek in English language forum.  See you fruitless endeavour mining.

Just to add to hexafraction's comment - which is factually correct - your screenshot shows a bunch of CPU vs GPU mismatches - and that is not normal (or at least, not supposed to happen very often).  Basically the OpenCL code tries to get a vanity, reports what it believes should be a match, and that is then double-checked with the CPU (which is known to perform the calculations correctly whereas the OpenCL implementation might fail).  If they match, no problem.  If they don't match, no vanity is actually found.  Having this many mismatches might mean your card's not supported or itself has issues or needs driver updates or... etc.  Lord knows with that stuff and unmaintained code Smiley

I checked and my graphics drivers are all up to date and the Gpu temp at the time was 45C

Yup something is wrong with my gpu since I tried just generating 1j and that didn't work

 If you have an AMD radeon GPU, openCL was broken with Catalyst drivers after 12.6 (I'm not sure of the exact version).  It looks like you have the same issue I was having - I removed all the Catalyst drivers using this - http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/16748/ and reinstalled catalyst 14.9 and used the openCL drivers from APP SDK 2.7 which fixed the problem for me.  I can't find the link anymore but some guy actually wrote a batch to remove the offending files and instructions on how to get vanitygen working again which is actually safer than using the tool in the link above!  If I come across it, I'll post a link.

That campaign had finished it  is now here https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/6mzUd/a

Check any of these output links to verify https://blockchain.info/address/114WXoWuTa7JSLtVoQiEPgsPYPQSSB9Q7n

 Thanks for the heads up.  Strangely the bitcoin address link points to FundRazr now but as far as I can see, FundRazr doesn't accept bitcoin.  Hopefully any coins sent to that address will still get to Snowden.

Not a single address, but how about the "longest shared prefix"? Smiley

53e1f4f491509f9012bd825ce1e9599b253188ef

over half of the address.

The addresses are on the blockchain.  Proof of ownership:

I am personally not a fan of shared prefixes, when I send stuff I check the first 8 or so digits, and if they are the same, I send it. Theres a VERY small chance the address I forgot to copy has the same first 8 digits as the address copied by mistake, so this practice works very well for me. I also see no reason to have address pairs unless to trick people.

  This is experimentation.  I doubt you will see too many addresses like this in use and even if you do, they will belong to the same person anyway so the odds of your payment going to some scammer are very, very low.

The tool I used to generate these addresses is now available here: https://github.com/basil00/pairgen
A pre-built version is here: https://github.com/basil00/pairgen/releases

 Thanks a lot for putting your software out there for us to use!
Can't wait to get home to try this out Wink

Wow.  I missed this post but that us amazing!  That would take forever with my rig.  How fast are you able to generate addresses?

Thanks for noticing Wink  It took me about 1 week to generate on a Haswell 4 core / 8 threads.

Using vanitygen to find such pairs of addresses is not feasible, e.g.

$ vanitygen "18eXmgR5Svoqqa6"
[1.34 Mkey/s][total 24407296][Prob 0.0%][50% in 3.161665e+10y]

...so 50% probability in about 32 billion years!

I didn't use vanitygen, but rather a specialized tool designed to find partial address collisions based on the Birthday Attack.  I might clean up the code and release it; although I am not sure if it has any use beyond some novelty value.

The code currently uses CPU only.  But a GPU port would make 100+ bit collisions feasible.

 This is very interesting.  I have some reading to do!  Thanks Wink

So many pages here. I do recall some BoD coming on here and saying they are kept in the dark. They were implying that the AM BoD is a shadow puppet? It was only there to make AM seem legit?
Seems like a puppet organization, a diversionary tactic

 AM is legit.

  I liken them to popular yet short-lived musical talent such as The Smiths, The Doors, Joy Division, Richie Valens, Janice Joplin, Cream, Buddy Holly, Sir Mixalot, Bobby Darrin and yes even Gogmagog - the wannabe, rock super-group dripping with talent: Pete Willis (Def Leppard), Neil Murray (Whitesnake), Paul Di’Anno and Clive Burr (Iron Maiden), Janick Gers (White Spirit) which lasted but a few days.  Like AM, they added to their trade but alas, their life was short and sweet.

 In saying that, I'm hoping for one last encore!  (from AM that is)

Non vanity address, ending with four X's.  
1KaD9jMRutBBZjCbZH2Hcot6xVuhp5xXxX

Address with only 1 number after the leading 1.
1MfiREDAWiEsUJhQWqkd5XySrrAkjGwtoU


 The trailing X's are pretty cool Wink
  
Addresses with only 1 number or even 0 numbers aren't very rare.  There are 4 "illegal" characters - capital o, capital I and a miniscule L and the number 0 - which leaves 49 letters to chose from and 9 numbers.  
So if we forget about the leading 1 and assume a 35 character address (they can be smaller) the probability, if matching only letters, would be [49/58]34.  

You will probably see only the leading 1 as a number in about 0.3237 percent of all Bitcoin addresses.  I just checked through a list of previously generated addresses and found 20 out of 1600 that had no numbers other than the leading 1 but those results are skewed in favour of the letters since I am looking for words.

 Now if you have all miniscule or all capital letters and few numbers, that would be hall of fame worthy!

As I remember, ASIC miner is very business oriented, the main focus of their business idea is to make lots of fiat profit for shareholders

And when that is simply impossible following a higher hash rate and lower exchange rate, there is no reason for the business to continue

Only those who has a belief in bitcoin will stay long term in the business, and that requires extensive knowledge about the fatal flaw in today's fiat money system. It is normal that a business man do not have such insight when he only cares about making quick fiat profit

.. has a belief in bitcoin AND lots of money to pay the electricity bills, salaries, rent, maintenance, and equipment upgrades.  Unfortunately, people who let their ideology or religion determine their investment decisions rarely have money to spare.

  It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

That's right.  This will find the words Test and me separated by any number of characters:

Code:
vanitygen64 -k -r -o file.txt [Tt][Ee][Ss][Tt][a-zA-Z0-9]{1,29}[Mm][Ee]

We're looking forward to some hall of fame addresses from you now Wink

price of bitcoin went down.. plans were ruined.. time to run and hide. seems pretty straight forward.

Did not appear so straight forward a few months ago. For years bitcoiners worshiped him like God.

 Let's not get carried away.  We did nominate him for President but God-like worship is carrying it too far.
He's still a great man who was able to accomplish much more than most.  Perhaps he had enough of being CEO of Asicminer and carrying the whole company on his shoulders.  We may never know.

I generated this wallet, its pretty cool but idk if it makes the hall of fame, 1CanaryrAqbFnVQGxHqEgzxsiiSQBc4YYf it is a wallet with 29 consecutive letters in it with on 1 number.

 Nice address but it's not hall of fame worthy.  It isn't so difficult to generate addresses with just the leading 1 and the rest letters.
You can do plenty with a CPU - try this:  vanitygen64 -k -r "1[a-zA-Z]{33}"

Will I be able to search for prefixes using these options? Would this work? -k -r "1[a-zA-Z]{33}" -o [folder] 1Test

 Well you would have to reword the regex search to "1Test[a-zA-Z]{21,30}" because the bitcoin address could be 26 to 35 characters in length (just in case you found a short one).  It wont be fast because you have to match the "1Test" string exactly.  Start with something easier to test it out like

 
Code:
vanitygen64 -k -r -o file.txt 1T[a-zA-Z]{24,33}

you can add more letters after the T but then shorten up the length like this

Code:
vanitygen64 -k -r -o file.txt 1Te[a-zA-Z]{23,32}

also you can check for case insensitive matches of first part like this

Code:
vanitygen64 -k -r -o file.txt 1[Tt][Ee][a-zA-Z]{23,32}

 These will match anywhere in the string so for the shorter matches on longer bitcoin addresses, you will not see 1Test at the beginning necessarily.

Well I was lucky to get this address while playing with vanitygen, I specified it to be Case-insensitive but the first address found was all lowercase besides the first character

1GreekhutWw55DtiEwb8vMJXZAzKm1UrVT
I was going to make it Gr33khut but it would have taken much longer. So I now have a 7 Character (technically) case insensitive vanity address. my new personal wallet.

 Nice!  You had some luck too.  I've been trying to make my nick on and off for some time now but I can't get past the second x and that's using case insensitivity.  I'm either going to have to shorten my nickname or purchase another video card... or two Wink
