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

[willi9974]

Hello,

i have a System with 6 AMD 480'er cards inside and will create some adresses with vanitygen.

My System show the card from the claymore miner

Cards available: 6
GPU #0: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #1: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #2: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #3: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #4: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #5: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
Total cards: 6

But how can i use this 6 cards to find a BTC Adress like "1WiLLi......." not only with the CPU and 300-400 khash / sec.
i will use my grafikcards to find the adress very fast, but i cant...

Best Regards
Willi

I have two cards and my command line looks something like this:

Code:

C:\>oclvanitygen64.exe -f work.txt -o dump.txt -D 0:0 -D 0:1

So yours *should* look something like:

Code:

C:\>oclvanitygen64.exe -f work.txt -o dump.txt -D 0:0 -D 0:1 -D 0:2 -D 0:3 -D 0:4 -D 0:5

it dos not work

here are my test

C:\_Share\vanitygen-0.22-win>oclvanitygen.exe -f work.txt -o dump.txt -D 0:0 -D 0:1 -D 0:2 -D 0:3 -D 0:4 -D 0:5

WiLLie,

what happens if you enter this:

C:\>oclvanitygen64.exe -f work.txt -o dump.txt

[willi9974]

In my zip file are no 64 bot verion from the oclvanitygen
I use the version 0.22 from vanitygen

Is that the wrong verion?

Is anyone here familiar enough with the code to understand this issue?
https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/issues/83

(Not like there are enough private key choices), but:

Can anyone confirm if vanitygen is using the entire private key range of
 0x1 to 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE BAAE DCE6 AF48 A03B BFD2 5E8C D036 4140
to choose private keys

OR does vanitygen use a smaller range?

Thanks!

I didn't realize that the key range doesn't go from 0x1 to 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF.

Vanitygen uses the standard openssl libraries, the key's generated are secp256k1.
One of the secp257k1 constants it the mentioned key range, so yes it is using this range.

If it says something about nVidia or AMD there is chance you can use oclvanitygen. If its an intel GPU you likely cant.

So basically if you have an Intel GPU you can't use it to search for vanity addresses? Damn. That's all I have in every laptop I own haha. I'm not much of a DIY person when it comes to computers. Maybe way back in the day when we upped our memory in our home computer by 8GB or something. Boy oh boy, that was the day!


I just had a thought. I have an android TV box with an octa-core GPU. I'm sure it could do a damn good job finding vanity addresses but it runs on Android 4.4. I know way back in the day someone made an android version of Vanitygen. Had anyone made an up-to-date version of oclvanitygen for Android? It would make a lot of sense because android isn't just for mobile devices anymore. I've been checking out a dual-boot windows/android ultrabook that would be good for creating vanity addresses too.

Or is there a way to use the computing power from my Android TV box on a Windows laptop? That would work too.

c:\blah\oclvanitygen64.exe -f work.txt -o dump.txt -D 0:0 -D 1:0

Try -D 0:0 first then -D 0:1 to get an idea of what your speeds are then try both together.

work.txt is where you searches are, dump.txt is where there data is dumped to.

Can someone point me in the direction of instrustions on how to install and run this on a raspi 3 please?

Thank you.

[Dadabong]

Requires only openssl libs (for elliptic curve cryptography). URL: https://github.com/joric/pywallet

Just built up a script etc. pywallet.py 1.0 and allowing export/import private keys in shortened format (mostly as a lightweight alternative to showwallet for those who didn't manage to compile the branch).

[gt_addict]

That's gone straight over my head im afraid 

I am a lamen in terms on computer programming etc. I just about managed to get cgminer to run on a pi lol

Am I missing something or is this a bug? When I find with a text file input with multiple prefixes, the next match difficulty after each match is found stays the same.

 Look on page 119 on this thread at my answer.
Probability of a match is based on all desired prefixes.

Just a reminder that while shorena is on an extended break from BCT, I am available to generate BTC Vanity Wallet Addresses.

Send me a PM - I will price match those posted on shorena's page here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1257817.msg13032456#msg13032456

If there are a few enquiries, I might start a thread similar to shorena's to keep users updated - I can also do AltCoin Vanity Wallet Addresses (with the exception of Ether) - POA.

I need someone who can make custom changes to vanitygen and oclvanitygen.

I would like to use them in the Collision Finders pool project instead of the address generator that is in use now (some compiled Go program).

Objectives:

1)

I'd need to mimic the output of the "generate" executable we have now (an offline version of directory.io), where "generate X" will spill out 2²⁰ addresses both in uncompressed and compressed form like that:

Code:

> generate 0

1BYbgHpSKQCtMrQfwN6b6n5S718EJkEJ41 19ZewH8Kk1PDbSNdJ97FP4EiCjTRaZMZQA
...

If the vanitygen/oclvanitygen is "too fast"  for a tiny 2²⁰ block, I can live with 2²⁴ or similar.
You can find the currently used executable at http://lbc.cryptoguru.org:5000/downloads/LBC-client/generate for comparison.


2)

I need to know if vanitygen is using a slower/faster SHA256 code than http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-technology/sha-256-implementations-paper.html and in case it uses a slower one, integrate use of the intel-specific implementations.


Of course, I'm willing to pay for both objectives - 1) is prerequisite for 2) - with my precious Bitcoins. PM me, if you are capable of and interested in the job.

I've also got a small improvement to the program: One of the miners, CudaMiner I think it is, has a function to start and stop at a set time.

eg someone living in a warmer climate where their cards would overheat during the day, Vanity Gen could start at (in this example) Six PM and pause at Six AM the next morning.  That way a user wouldn't have to manually stop/start the program and they would be able to keep going at the point they left off without the "luck" timing out and restarting.

Or a work PC at 5pm Friday and search all week-end then pause at 7AM Monday morning.

If you follow me?

I guess you could use the cron daemon and friends to put the task into the background (so that it will be halted) and bring it back to life when needed

I'd really need to be walked through what you just said, but thanks for the suggestion never the less.  (Would this happen automatically?)

Just thought of another one - updating the search list when the work.txt file has been updated, the program occasionally re-polls the work.txt file and adds new items without the program restarting.  (Is this possible?)

It all depends upon what system you use (I don't know if it is possible to suspend a process in Windows)

cron (not to be confused with tron), bg, fg, and kill
