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

[KriszDev]

I tryed to run with:

Code:

oclvanityminer -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a BTC_ADDRESS_HERE

I have Windows 7 ultimate. I have no GPU so i use CPU. It returns when i try to run:

Code:

Avalibe OpenCL platforms:
0: [Intel(R) Corporation]:
   0: [Intel(R) Corporation] Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G540 @ 2.50GHz
1: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] AMD Accelerated  Parallel Processing
   0: [GenuineIntel] Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G540 @ 2.50GHz

shouldn't you run vanitygen or vanitygen64 if you don't have a gpu?

anyways you want

Code:

oclvanityminer -D0:0 -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a BTC_ADDRESS_HERE

then run a second thread with

Code:

oclvanityminer -D0:1 -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a BTC_ADDRESS_HERE

[KriszDev]

Thanks now it's working now I only have to wait for some work what I can do.

It's a shame that the demand for results from this service is so low. That means its almost entirely unprofitable for anyone with GPU to try and solve for these patterns. In fact, you are just throwing away money.

Currently the best work is: "Searching for pattern: "1Thanks1" Reward: 0.010400 Value: 0.000001 BTC/MkeyHr"

$842 (bitcoinaverage price) * 0.010400 = $8.75 USD

Time to reach 50% probability on a overclocked Radeon 6870: 17.2 days

Power consumption: measured 120w AC:

0.12 kW * 0.30 $/kWh * 24 hours * 17.2 days = $14.86

Or, I could mine dogecoin (presently #1 scrypt coin) for 17.2 days and earn a profit (after electricity taken into account) of $50.40... and get paid with 100% assurance.

I agree that it's a shame the vanity pool allows such low reward values.

It would also seem useless to mine just vanity addresses for rewards on paid power or with a full GPU.  For those with cheap power though it seems like a huge waste IE throwing away money to take a single or dual core CPU and a powerfull GPU and just mine scrypt coins. There are some cycles left over on the GPU and the CPU's are generally just about idle.

the problem with that vanity mining pool is it only mines the single most profitable vanity. The vanity miner program has the capability of mining multiple different prefixes all at the same time, which I've done in the past. After all, it's just generating random keys in an attempt to get a matching result. No reason it can't compare that result to more than one desired prefix.

Agreed, I used to search for 30+ prefixes at a time

hi,

i've got these errors when compiling :

Code:

Someone knows how can I fix it ?

When I launch the file, it launches the command prompt but then immediately shuts it down again. What can I do to access it?

if you are using windows, shift+right click the folder containing vanitygen executables. when the window opens already at that directory path, you can then paste (via the square top left of window) a string like:

Code:

oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -i -k -o found.txt 1tri11ium

Also open a command prompt instead of double clicking the exe file before following the above directions.

If you shift+right click a windows folder and select "Open command prompt here" it sets the current directory in the cmd window that opens automatically to that folder. You do not need to click any exe files etc.

General formulas for expected performance on GPUs

NVIDIA GeForce 96xx, 98xx, GT 1xx, GT 2xx, GTX 2xx (G90/GT200):
Key/s = (CUDA Cores) x (Shader MHz) x 17

AMD Radeon 58xx, 59xx, 67xx, 68xx (VLIW5):
Key/s = (Stream Processors) x (Core MHz) x 20.1

AMD Radeon 69xx (VLIW4):
Key/s = (Stream Processors) x (Core MHz) x 13.6

AMD GCN, NVIDIA Fermi/Kepler: Please contribute some numbers!

I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560. With 336 CUDA Cores and 1780 MHz Shader (890 MHz Core, 1000 MHz Memory), I get ~14.1 Mkey/s. This suggests a ratio of 23.6 for this card. That is, Key/s = (CUDA Cores) x (Shader MHz) x 23.6

Will this work on my CT asic?

No.

Hi, I carefully studied a regex to search for, but it seems vanitygen can't accept the character ^ in the regex in order to force the following group of characters to be the beginning of the address.

vanitygen simply ignore the character ^, while it correctly take as input the character $ to force the group to be at the end of the line. each address it returns, it writes the pattern searched without the ^ character.

basically I'd want to search for an address with a custom prefix and suffix. any help is appreciated.

edit: ok found the solution, had to enclose the searched pattern between ""

I've updated https://github.com/WyseNynja/vanitygen with 2 bug fixes reported on GitHub.

If you already have vanitygen installed from my OSX homebrew tap:

Code:

brew update
brew prune
brew upgrade vanitygen

If you don't:

Code:

brew tap WyseNynja/bitcoin
brew prune
brew install vanitygen
