Anyone hear good with VanityGen? I know how to use ot and have created an address with my cpu but it will not work with oclvanitygen!? this is the error:
Error loading kernel file 'calc_addrs.cl': No such file or directory
The file is in the same folder as oclvanitygen!? im using windows. Ive been trying to figure this out for like a week now and just cant find anything!

EDIT: nevermind! i created a shortcut to oclvanitygen64.exe and in target put my commands and for some odd reason that worked instead of running it from the command prompt!? thanks! this thread can be trashed!

Sounds to me like vanitygen is looking for the file in the wrong working directory. How are you executing oclvanitygen?

Well you would need to import the private key into blockchain
