Is there a way to have the txt file its populating only fill in the private key or only the vanity key or just the 2? I am using command line and cant figure a method.

I don't think there is that option in the program but it's trivial to do after at the command line.

eg. make file with addresses,

grep Address outfile > addrfile

or keys,

grep Privkey outfile > keyfile

or convert addresses to sql statements to populate db,

grep Address outfile |awk '{print "insert into addr set address=\""$2"\";"}' > addrfile.sql

Just realized I'm actually able to post I been waiting to leave my Newbie status on here for awhile (this is my real first post).  I been going crazy here I can't figure this out I been waiting to post this question for a month.  I have the same problem as this post quoted.  I get outputs like this when I use opencl.

I think its the real output because the first time I tried it I got a output like that after 5 hours.  I didn't think to test it before hand it took 5 hours just to get CPU hash - GPU hash output like this.  If I pick a easier address I get outputs like this scrolling down.  If I use a CPU generator I get a private key output the correct way it is only happening with opencl.

I got similar problem as The00Dustin (quoted below). I think it is an issue with BFI_INT feature. It seems that sometimes it is detected when it is not supported. I commented out detection and it started to work.
Code:
		if (vg_ocl_device_gettype(vocp->voc_ocldid) &
    CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU) {
quirks |= VG_OCL_EXPENSIVE_BRANCHES;
quirks |= VG_OCL_DEEP_VLIW;
dvn = vg_ocl_device_getstr(vocp->voc_ocldid,
   CL_DEVICE_EXTENSIONS);
#if 0
if (dvn && strstr(dvn, "cl_amd_media_ops"))
quirks |= VG_OCL_AMD_BFI_INT;
#endif

dvn = vg_ocl_device_getstr(vocp->voc_ocldid,
   CL_DEVICE_NAME);
if (!strcmp(dvn, "ATI RV710")) {
quirks &= ~VG_OCL_OPTIMIZATIONS;
quirks |= VG_OCL_NO_BINARIES;
}
}

[...]There was nothing wrong with libdl-*.**.so, however, for whatever reason, ld wasn't using it.  I had to add it directly to the LIBS variable.  This is what finally got me building:
Code:
LIBS=-L/usr/src/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64 -L/usr/local/ssl/lib /lib64/libdl.so.2 -lpcre -lcrypto -lm -lpthread
CFLAGS=-I/usr/src/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/usr/include -ggdb -O3 -Wall
Note that the ATI SDK is in a funny place because that's just where I happened to download it to.  I have never had to list a library directly in libs like that before (/lib64/libdl.so.2 with no leading parameter), but it worked.  Unfortunately, now I'm getting odd output in oclvanitygen compared to what I see in vanitygen:

Is that output normal?  Seems I can clean it up by doing this:
Code:
 ./oclvanitygen -i 1s 2> /dev/null | grep e
[181.98 Kkey/s][total 2048][Prob 78.0%][80% in 0.0s]

[155.05 Kkey/s][total 1116160]
[155.53 Kkey/s][total 1271808]
since e will include "key/s", "Address", and "Privkey", but still get a lot more unnecessary data onscreen, and as you can see here, no addresses or privkeys are displayed in either of the oclvanitygen ouputs even though it should still find a match almost instantly ("[80% in 0.0s]").  This makes me wonder if something is broken in my setup.

I then discovered that running oclvanitygen with no parameters returns help info, so it looks like if this output is normal, I'll just have it write keys to a file since some searching shows other people using grep with regular expressions to filter output on oclvanitygen (assuming there's not something broken about the fact that it didn't find any keys).  However, the speed is slower than vanitygen, so I thought it must be using the CPU instead of the GPU, searched the thread and found the -d option, which confirms this:
Code:
./oclvanitygen -d 2 -i 1ssss | grep e

Available OpenCL platforms:
0: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] ATI Stream
  0: [GenuineIntel] Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6600  @ 2.40GHz
  This machine is mining fine with cgminer compiling using the SDK links I listed in the LIBS & CFLAGS variables.  Am I missing something completely obvious?

EDIT:  I just realized that when I run oclvanitygen on Windows, the output looks the same as my compiled vanitygen on F15, so I don't know if that means my oclvanitygen output on F15 is odd or not.  I also tried a lot more LIBS and CFLAGS stuff trying to make sure it was linking the right files, but none of that made any difference, and then I realized my last output above does say "0: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] ATI Stream" which implies the right files were used anyway.  Then the obvious clicked, regarding the card not being found, I wasn't using DISPLAY=:0 (duh...).  So now I'm just curious about the extraneous output on oclvanitygen as I compiled it vs vanitygen as I compiled it and oclvanitygen on Windows.

EDIT2:  ACK!  The kernel compiled and ran once, but was still really slow and now I get this:
Code:
$ DISPLAY=:0 ./oclvanitygen -d 1 -i 1ssss | grep e

I tried oclvanitygen today, and discovered that it produces output like the following, instead of private keys.

Code:
Match idx: 0
CPU hash: 93b30d0ad99f8133a0bc3c4793a27dbad5a0961f
GPU hash: 0a0db39333819fd9473cbca0ba7da2931f96a0d5
Found delta: 1919 Start delta: 1

Am I doing it wrong?

What's your command line?

I get the same output with

Code:
oclvanitygen.exe -d 0 -i 1Test

He's not the only one with the issue.

I think I had that same issue trying to gpu-mine with self-compiled code on linux.  I just gave up and use Windows.

Here's my (working) command line on Windows:

oclvanitygen.exe -d0 "1abcd"

There is no private key for this address!
So any money sent to it is lost. You need to search the chain for address that have spends to be sure there is a private key.

You can make any string of characters an address just by working out the checksum on the end (and adding a 1 to the start). That is why this has f59kuE at the end.

Yes, that is possible, but the more plausible explanation in this case is that there is no key because the user who generated the address hasn't spent any coins from it yet.

You are just saying the same thing in a different way.

You are just saying the same thing in a different way.

  • Because of the near impossibility of finding a private key for a vanity address as long as 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE, none exists,
  • Because of no private key existing, any coins sent to this address will forever be unspendable,
  • This valid Bitcoin address was created by appending a valid checksum for the public "vanity" part of the address,
  • You see it in firstbits because the creator and others sent some coins to it.
Actually, I didn't know that was the address being discussed.  Yeah, I really don't think anyone has the private key for that, and intended to use it as an example, but couldn't find it.  I thought firstbits were all lowercase, and I didn't pay close attention to the URL or click it.  My bads.  (Although my point that not having a key [signature?] in the chain doesn't mean the key hasn't been generated stands).

That is essentially the same command as runlinux posted Smiley

Anyway, lots of people seem to continue to have this issue.

So there's no way to get oclvanitygen to work under OSX 10.6.8 utilizing GPU (GF 9400m)? Haven't tried under Win yet, but I reckon that it'd help me a lot from the 88 KKeys/s I get from my CPU under OSX  Grin
