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

[altcointalk14]

the oclvanitygen code would have to be modified to have suffix search.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Does 46 Mkeys/s sound right for 4 x 280X using oclvanitygen?

Does 46 Mkeys/s sound right for 4 x 280X using oclvanitygen?

 Sounds a little slow.  I would think you should see almost double that.
My single 7970 runs @ 25 Mkeys/s and the 280X is essentially the same thing.


 Just tested it to make sure

Do you use any switches?

I tried using oclvanitygen.exe -D 1:0 -D 1:1 -D 1:2 -D 1:3 1BLazed

 Sorry!  I missed that part.

 

Code:

C:\Users\xhomerx10\Downloads\vanitygen-0.22-win>oclvanitygen -d 0:0 -k -i 1Blazed

 Are you running in safe mode with the -S switch?  That slows me down to 12Mkeys/s

Was using exactly what I Pasted. I am running Win 7 x64. Maybe the 280X are just slow at finding keys?

How is the performance if you only use the primary?

You should be getting >80Mkey/s with that setup I would think...

Try running a different instance for each GPU and see if you can determine the problem.  One GPU could be locking up, you could accidentally be using a CPU, etc...  

Another thing if you haven't generated a vanity on that machine before, is to generate a short one and make sure you are getting the public/private key combo as some driver combinations don't return valid keys (if anyone has that issue, search this thread for lifeboat).

[helloeverybody]

does anyone know if its possible to search for multiple prefixes when using multiple ECDSA keypairs?

Or is it only possible to generate one of these at a time? When ive searched for my own addresses previously i can obviously seach multiple prefixes but im not sure the method to try and acheive the same reults here.

It "Seems" like the oclvanitygen does not increase rate like we are use to mining with GPU cards.  If you get 10Mk/sec with one card, if you double, you get less than 2x10; triple the exact same card you get <3x10.  and the more cards you add, it seems to gain less of the next card you add.

To prove this, in your 4x 280x system, try this:

oclvanitygen -D 1:0 -D 1:1 -D 1:2 -D 1:3 -k 1Bitcointalk
Then Record
Speed All4 =

Then each card

oclvanitygen -D 1:0 -k 1Bitcointalk
Speed D0 =

oclvanitygen -D 1:1 -k 1Bitcointalk
Speed D1 =

oclvanitygen -D 1:2 -k 1Bitcointalk
Speed D2 =

oclvanitygen -D 1:3 -k 1Bitcointalk
Speed D3 =

I bet your speeds
D0+D1+D2+D3 >>>  Speed All4

I make mention of this effect some dozen pages back...

Hi,

I'm having issues with vanitygen using my GPU's

I'm on WIn 10 Enterprise,

I have 3 rigs i've tried.

Rig1: 5x RX480

Rig2: 5x R9 290X

Rig 3: 6X R9 280X

Not sure if Win 10 is the issue, but I have gotten errors on the RX480 rig, which I have heard simply doesn't play well.

But the other 2 rigs, I can see my gpus, and when I select them in a bat file similar to this:


C:\Users\R2\Desktop\vanitygen-0.22-win>oclvanitygen.exe -D 0:0 1buckrogers

C:\Users\R2\Desktop\vanitygen-0.22-win>


Not sure why it is returning the error on the gpu, but as a side note, if I just run the:

C:\Users\R2\Desktop\vanitygen-0.22-win>vanitygen64.exe 1buckrogers
Difficulty: 10054102514374869638
[548.54 Kkey/s][total 1977344][Prob 0.0%][50% in 402856.1y]

The cpu portion will run, but obviously I would want to use the GPU's, and have many different rigs to choose from, all are running Win 10 enterprise though.

If anyone has some suggestions, please ...i'm all ears.

thanks!

Sooo, was the conclusion that no one understand how to fix it,  still?

[Timelord2067]

What a pity you didn't go back and read the thread.  Does it really matter in the larger picture if you loose a Meg or two of hashes with two or more cards?

Hi can you assist with my issue on the program not allowing me to use any of the gpu's while i get that error i posted?

thanks!

[buckrogers]

Has anyone in this thread experienced the issue i posted?

Is it an OS thing? a specific driver? anyone?

thanks!

I was reading an article on how to destroy bitcoins and i found some awesome bitcoin addresses :

1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE
1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr

1QLbz7JHiBTspS962RLKV8GndWFwi5j6Qr    (hash 160 : ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff )

I wonder how were these addresses even generated ??

Well they definitely weren't made on my gpu rigs

Maybe one day.

There is a site which generates these kinds of addresses. There you go : http://gobittest.appspot.com/ProofOfBurn

It generates only bitcoin eater address so bitcoin send to it will be of no use or you will lose access to it . It is just like Bitcoin burner or a dump.

thanks!

it seems an update to the program is needed for newer gpus..

i cant get this to work on my rx 480, rx 470, or r9 380

get an error about constant space variables or something.
