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

[hexafraction]

I've looked back many pages but I couldn't find anything.
Has anyone created and compiled a Windows 7 version of Vanitygen that works with AMD 290's?
You'll be my hero if you point me in the right direction

The oclvanitygen offered here should be appropriate for your system. You might need to install OpenCL/AMD Parallel Processing drivers.

I've attempted to use it in the past for newer AMD GPU's with no success.

Have there been code changes?

I can only get it to work with 5xxx & 6xxx GPU's.

I got the "CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES" error after 3 days of "work" with my nvidia 9600GT,is it a real lack of power of its just a bug?
Tnx...

Nvidia cards are like that. I get that too.

If you use NVIDIA hardware, CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES is a kind of "generic" error returned by the driver when something is wrong. As a result, it is not necessarily a real "Out of resources" problem.

For instance, calling clCreateFromGLTexture2D() with an invalid texture ID will often return CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES with an NVIDIA driver whereas it will return CL_INVALID_GL_OBJECT with an AMD or Intel driver.

If you are having trouble with AMD video cards search for Lifeboats version of oclvanitygen.

It worked for me right out of the box on my 7950 and R9 270.

If anyone wants to make a quick(ish) ~$200, I'm looking for a couple of vanity addresses:

[foodstamps]

I am getting 50-55 Mkey/s with 2 r9 280x's using oclvanitygen. On one of them I am able to push 30-35 Mkey/s, I assume the lost hash is from the other one running the monitor.

Anyway if you wanted to add that to the specs part  r9 280x = 25-35 Mkey/s.

[TheRealSteve]

Yep, added - thanks

I also recently updated the Vanitygen article in general with some general info on pattern difficulty and any delusions of trying to use Vanitygen to attack addresses

I would like to say a gtx 780ti does 50-60Mkey/s highest was 62Mkey/s

just for documenting purposes.

I saw in another thread that someone is able to get 5+ Mkey/s out of their laptop with oclvanitygen.  I am sure I am doing something wrong with the parameters trying to get it working, still only getting about 100 Kkey/s using these parameters:

oclvanitygen -f list.txt -D 0:0 -w 512

on a Lenovo laptop with 64bit Win7.  According to oclvanitygen I have:
0: i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz
1: Intel HD Graphics 4000

Can anyone share what are your typical input parameters or provide pointers?

There is no "certain" parameters to boost your speed. You can see a slight increase if you kill unwanted processes/applications especially background ones.

It's my guess you are running the opencl vanitygen on your CPU and not GPU.
I have laptop with an Intel HD graphic, but never got the right drivers (ubuntu) working to run opencl on the graphic card.
But maybe the drivers for windows do work.
Could you try to run the cpu version (vanitygen64.exe) an check if the speed increases?
With an I5-CPU@2.6G you must be able to get >400kKey on the CPU.

vanitygen64 gives me 550Kkey/s.  oclvanitygen is much slower, that is why I know I am doing something wrong.

I think you may have been referring to my results.  The 5Mkey/s is off of a GeForce GT750M that's in the laptop.  I've never gotten it to work with the also built-in Intel HD 4600, with exactly the same error you're seeing, and an issue is open in the original vanitygen repo about this as well: https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/issues/38

I get better rates for my CPU using vanitygen as opposed to oclvanitygen.

With an AMD Athlon II X3 I get 1 Mkey/s   but with oclvanitygen I get half that.

I use oclvanitygen for GPUs only.

Thanks for the info, after reviewing a pull request to fix the bug I modified the calc_addrs.cl directly.  I also updated the device driver. All this got me a bit further but i am getting a CL_BUILD_PROGRAM_FAILURE error.  From reviewing the online information it seems unlikely I will get the program working on this Intel GPU, although I would like to hear from anyone who has managed to do it.

How I can make custom wallet address where I don't have privatekey but have choose long address like 1Bitcoineater address?

You reverse the last few steps that are part of a regular address generation;
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_version_1_Bitcoin_addresses
So you base58 decode your input, (1WhateverEtc), take the first section, double-sha256 that, take the first 4 bytes of that result as the CRC, and append that to your 1WhateverEtc.

There might be services that do this for you - if not, just run a bit of python code (can do that online, too): https://gist.github.com/CoinWhisperer/6d673f1f3d13da1611cd

In general, google 'bitcoin "burn address"' and then 'generator' or 'maker' or somesuch - bound to find more results
