Hello,
I am interested in generating vanity addresses for myself and have multiple GPUs on hand to do so. Here is my question: is it possible to use the gpu version of the vanity address software on multiple GPUs for a higher generation rate or is it limited to only one GPU?

Here is the line I am running now:
oclvanitygen -d 0 -k -o filename.txt 1cryptopi3

That takes quite a long time to run on only one 7950, but my rig has multiple of them so I would like to know if I can use all the 7950s in my rig to generate that address or if I am only limited to one.

Thanks! Smiley

Awesome, thanks. Also, is there a tutorial which specifically details how to pool mine vanity addresses (how to use the software I am already using to make them for myself but use it with a pool such as https://vanitypool.appspot.com)? I searched the forum, to no real avail Sad.

Thank you

When I remove the -d 0 and save the bat file and open it, it just crashes. Are you sure I was supposed to remove the -d 0?

Thanks
