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

[Mushroomized]

Does it save them anywhere now? I've recently found that mine closes itself after finding the address (Resulting in me leaving the computer for hours to find it closed after spending days generating one)

Vanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012)
Usage: vanitygen [-vqrikNT] [-t <threads>] [-f <filename>|-] [<pattern>...]
Generates a bitcoin receiving address matching <pattern>, and outputs the
address and associated private key.  The private key may be stored in a safe
location or imported into a bitcoin client to spend any balance received on
the address.
By default, <pattern> is interpreted as an exact prefix.

Options:
-v            Verbose output
-q            Quiet output
-r            Use regular expression match instead of prefix
              (Feasibility of expression is not checked)
-i            Case-insensitive prefix search
-k            Keep pattern and continue search after finding a match
-N            Generate namecoin address
-T            Generate bitcoin testnet address
-X <version>  Generate address with the given version
-F <format>   Generate address with the given format (pubkey or script)
-P <pubkey>   Specify base public key for piecewise key generation
-e            Encrypt private keys, prompt for password
-E <password> Encrypt private keys with <password> (UNSAFE)
-t <threads>  Set number of worker threads (Default: number of CPUs)
-f <file>     File containing list of patterns, one per line
              (Use "-" as the file name for stdin)
-o <file>     Write pattern matches to <file>
-s <file>     Seed random number generator from <file>

I was just wondering if it saved them by default, I'm too dumb to read. Thanks hahah

No it doesn't save them by default.  The best strategy for using command line programs is to execute them in a command shell so you don't lose what happened.

Better yet, use the -o switch

If you run the program as a batch file, you can toss a pause after it, so that the shell stays open after it finds it if you're just looking for one. I agree though with -o, output it to a file somewhere in case of a power bump or something.

You need to specify the correct platform and device. In your case it would be -p 0 (AMD OpenCL), -d 0 (Radeon HD 5830).

You also need a compatible driver/OpenCL. I would recommend Catalyst 11.11.

I shouldn't need to specify the platform since there is only one available:

Code:

0: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing[color=red] (platform)[/color]

But I gave it a try anyway, same error.

I am using the latest Catalyst and SDK, my 5870 mines BTC and LTC just fine so my SDK and CCC should be just fine.

[Winterfrost]

I am using the latest Catalyst and SDK, my 5870 mines BTC and LTC just fine so my SDK and CCC should be just fine.

My Catalyst updated itself a few days ago, and now I get virtually the same error. You might try rolling back to the previous Catalyst/SDK.

[c4n10]

Ugh... I suppose this is worth a try because now that I think about it I believe I also updated my catalyst recently...

I'll let you know how it turns out...

[crazyates]

Yep I'm getting the same error. I just updated to CCC 13.1, which updated the OCL runtime to 1084.4.

Is this able to do terracoin addresses?

[K1773R]

same as BTC addresses

[c4n10]

Yu can use vanitygen addresses for BTC, TRC, FRC and DVC...

you can use it for every altcoin, u just have to specify the version with -X (0 for BTC as example)

Good to know, thanks for the info!

a convenient way to get the version is using this, http://darkgamex.ch:2751/q/decode_address/<YOURADDRESSHERE>

Thanks for the help and this also works with RUC? I seem to have some issues with RUC where it keeps saying "a valid bitcoin address starts with 1"

i just tested it on my own with altcoin adresses, seems theres a bug in vanitygen!
if you specify the version from a other network, it cry's because the pattern dosnt begin with a "1".
lets hope for a quick fix

[nibor]

Yep I'm getting the same error. I just updated to CCC 13.1, which updated the OCL runtime to 1084.4.

Getting same issue I assume as others.

Anyone got a solution?
