Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22]

[yuzhe]

The fix does not work, I compiled from source, updated CL kernel. I used APP SDK's OpenCL.dll and and amdocl64.dll files, but unfortunately the program hangs before it even prints "Compiling kernel". It doesn't crash, it just hangs with these DLLs and huge CPU usage, but nothing.

Thanks for the feedback, AppSDK 2.8 i presume. I'll try to get windows installed on my radeon machine tomorrow (thats why win32 is now just a wild guess) and take a look. Till then, consider only the linux version.

Somehow I cannot get the GPU gen to work.
CPU OCL works fine.

When I try to run anything on device 1 I get a gpu driver crash and Windows reset my GFX card.
I tried with -S, same thing.

When I try to run it with -V I get tons of these, but no crash:

Any ideas?

[deepceleron]

Any ideas?

Yes, install Catalyst v11.11.


BTW, a yearly repost?...:

If you are just trying to use vanitygen, here's a Windows binary HOWTO:

Installation:

• If GPU acceleration is desired, install ATI Drivers v11.10-v11.11 (with SDK 2.5) or latest Nvidia driver, test that OpenCL is working with GPU miner software. If drivers with SDK >2.5 have been installed, files may need to be manually removed.
• Download and unzip vanitygen-0.22-win.zip to it's own directory.
• To interact with the program, you need to open a terminal/shell/command prompt in the program's directory. In Windows Vista/Win7 Explorer, hold down the shift key on the keyboard while right-clicking the folder where vanitygen was extracted, and choose Open command window here.
• Test CPU operation. This command line will generate a Bitcoin addresses beginning with 1ABCD in around a minute or less:
  >vanitygen 1ABCD
• Test GPU operation. This command line will generate a Bitcoin addresses beginning with 1ABCDE in around a minute, using the first OpenCL device in your system:
  >oclvanitygen -d 0 1ABCDE

OpenCL GPU device configuration:

OpenCL is the language used for talking to a GPU, and is installed with the video card driver. If the above GPU command didn't run correctly, generating over 1Mkey/s, then you should examine your OpenCL configuration. Remove the -d 0 option ("use device #0") from the command line above and run it again, which will list available OpenCL devices. Here's mine:

>oclvanitygen 1ABCD
Available OpenCL platforms:
0: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
  0: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] Juniper
  1: [GenuineIntel] Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6600  @ 2.40GHz

Both a GPU and the system CPU are available in my system; on yours, the GPU may not be the first listed. "Juniper" is this AMD GPU's code name.

The first line is the platform number, the second two lines are the available devices under that platform. Change the -d 0 line in the example above to the GPU desired. If no GPU is shown, the video card driver or OpenCL is not installed properly. If you have multiple OpenCL SDKs or implementations installed, more than one platform may be shown, specify the correct one (e.g. -p 1 for the second platform if shown.)

Example command lines (oclvanitygen, device 0, default platform):

• Search for exact prefix 1ABCDE, keep searching after first match is found (-k):
  >oclvanitygen -d 0 -k 1ABCDE
• Search for prefix 1ABCDE in any combination of upper or lower case (-i):
  >oclvanitygen -d 0 -i 1ABCDE
• Search for ABCD anywhere in address (only supported on CPU vanitygen) (-r):
  >vanitygen -r ABCD
• Search for prefix 1ABCDE, use a seed file to make address generation more secure and random (-s):
  >oclvanitygen -d 0 -s RandomSeedFile.txt 1ABCDE
• Search for prefix 1ABCDE, keep searching after first match is found, and save all found address to a file:
  >oclvanitygen -d 0 -k -o GeneratedAddresses.txt 1ABCDE
• Search for many prefixes at once using a text file listing them (newline after each prefix including last):
  >oclvanitygen -d 0 -k -f PrefixList.txt
• Use all options above including case-insensitive search, and turn on verbose mode for more information:
  >oclvanitygen -d 0 -v -i -k -f PrefixList.txt -o GeneratedAddresses.txt -s RandomSeedFile.txt

When specifying a case-sensitive address prefix on the command line or in a text file list, you must only use valid Base58 characters. This means you must only use lower-case i or o, and only upper-case L, or you will get an error.

• Bad: 1celeron, 1CELERON
• Good: 1ceLeron, 1CELERoN

I found an address, now what?

Vanitygen finds an address that matches your search parameters, and provides the private key for that address. The private key is never shown to you in the Bitcoin client; it is used behind the scenes, and is the secret part of your address that you should never give to anyone.

The mainline Bitcoin client does not have the ability to use private keys directly, but you can do other things to use bitcoins sent to your new address:

• In Bitcoin-qt: Help -> Debug window -> Console. Type importprivkey 5Jxxxxxxxxxxx "my vanity addr"
• Use the "redeem private key" option on MtGox, and input the private key you found. Any Bitcoins sent to the address will now be automatically withdrawn to your MtGox account. This is permanent, there is no option to remove or cancel a private key once it is added to your MtGox account,
• Use an alternate Bitcoin client, such as Armory, that has an "import private key" feature,

[somedood]

Thanks for the guide, I will try with the newer drivers.
The drivers I have now are best for my gaming & TV & mining needs, so am I am hesitant to change my config.

In the meantime I was able to find the Addresses I was looking for with vanitygen64 on my CPU (was amazingly quite fast for 5 letters).

Thanks again...

Ok. win32 second try, fully rebuilt:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ikm9307wsx0ydqt/vanitygen_catalyst.zip

To build from source code:

download https://github.com/wyuzhe/vanitygen/archive/master.zip, setup dependencies, nmake -f Makefile.win32/win64 etc.

Once you'we built all the binaries (8 in total), you can wrap the result with AMD APP SDK 2.8 compiler which seems to produce correct code in case you're getting compute errors.

Beware that to get correct version of the compiler you need to download the whole SDK (200MB).

Test it against beta catalyst driver on system. In case you get a crash/your card is frozen, try removing some or all the dlls of compiler wrapper in 32/ or 64/ directory.

Wrapped version, when running with -v, should report:

Code:

Version: OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1016.4)

Newer compiler versions produce incorrect results (block mining indeed unaffected - vanitygen kernel is nontrivial compared to simple sha256 one).

Detailed reports welcome as always.

Test it against beta catalyst driver on system. In case you get a crash/your card is frozen, try removing some or all the dlls of compiler wrapper in 32/ or 64/ directory.

Wrapped version, when running with -v, should report:

Code:

Version: OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1016.4)

Newer compiler versions produce incorrect results (block mining indeed unaffected - vanitygen kernel is nontrivial compared to simple sha256 one).

Detailed reports welcome as always.

That's awesome! Original oclvanitygen.exe ended with APPCRASH for me but your oclvanitygen64.exe works very well! I went from 950 Kkey/s to 26.11 Mkey/s (Radeon HD 7970) and 22.1 Mkey/s (Radeon HD 7950).

My platform: Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit, AMD Catalyst 13.2.

Good to hear it works on actual graphic cards! (I've tested only on AMD A4-3400 APU).

Could someone please test on OSX, I dont have access to Apple machine.

I get a "Peer certificate cannot be validated with given CA certificates" error. Help?

HTTPS vanitypool i suppose. You need http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem in a working directory where you launch the oclvanityminer.

Even with that file in the directory I don't get anything. I'm running Windows 8, by the way.

Seems like curl does not load cacert.pem under windows for some reason, I'll try to fix & rebuild once i'll get access to windows machine. On linux it seems to work, though:

It is probably looking for the ca file on some weird path, you can try using http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx to figure out the place where it is looking (if at all).

For now, you can use only the standalone ocl miner on windows.

[zakoliverz]

Am I reading this right, that it generates 23k addresses per second?  And this particular address was found after 80,000?

Why do you want to create so many addresses per second?

[Dabs]

So you can find your preferred address, your vanity one. You keep trying and trying until you find a match. The faster you generate keys, the faster you can chance upon your vanity address.

I just prefer if a new version comes out that makes compressed private keys (compressed public keys); the ones that start with L or K instead of 5.

Give me a link to a working version, I'll look at it, it shouldn't be too difficult to change

You're probably right about it not being able to find the file correctly.

I think there's something pretty majorly not working; there are a huge number of CreateFile operations, 625 of which fail with Path not found and 809 with Name not found errors. Also, so far as I can tell, it never actually calls for cacert.

I can't get the oclminer to work at all. Vantiygen works, but oclgen just hangs indefinitely.

Hmm, the hang problem has been reported earlier in the thread. It's odd oclminer does not hang as well, because AMD SDK dlls are overriden in exactly same fashion...

I presume

Code:

oclvanitygen64.exe -vv -d x:y 1blah

does not print anything and just hangs?

So far only catalyst 13.2 + win7 64 has been reported to work. Also try deleting opencl.dll in the current directory.

Thank you for that obvious fact. I'm well aware of the break operator. I did that so I could copy the output.

It will happily hang at that screen indefinitely until I tell it to break.

I have no idea how this program works itself so my help ends there and now I leave you for someone else to help.  It's sortof like tech support asking if your printer is plugged in and powered on
