tspacepilot@god:~/src/vanitygen$ ./vanitygen -v 1WALNUT Yeah, probably just bad luck then. 7-character prefix will take a while on most hardware and the bad end of variance scales accordingly. If you're keen on having it, generate a private/public key pair, post the public key here, and maybe some kind folks will attempt a search for you. See the discussion on split key generation a page or 2 back for details. |

If I get desperate sometime a week or so from now then I may just take you up on that. Thanks TheRealSteve. |

I'm not sure what version you are running, but I checked on my system: $ ./vanitygen -v 1WALNUT
Prefix difficulty: 888446610538 1WALNUT
Difficulty: 888446610538
$ ./vanitygen -v -i 1WALNUT
Prefix difficulty: 27763956579 1WALNUT
The difficulty with and without the -i (ignore case) is different, and my ignore case is giving the same difficulty as your code dump. It seems your version is looking for the all caps, but is showing difficulty equal to my ignore case command. So all the probability is calculated based on a wrong number, it will probably take about 888/27 = 38 times longer to find a single key. based on ~350Kkey/s about 20 days to hit the 50% |

I'm using a version that I checked out from git just last week. I installed the build-deps for debian and then ran make and I was off and running. Oh this, I look closer and I see that I've also got -i set, whoopsy! That explains the descrepancy. Given the fact that you can't have lower case "l" in a bitcoin address, I may just need to look into that split key thingy and/or use a better computer for this project  Thanks for pointing this out! |

You probably would be safer using the key mining pool. https://vanitypool.appspot.com/Or I could run my 780ti for a couple hours and it probably would generate pretty fast EDIT: 50% is in 3 hours if interested. |

Edit: Another thing I just thought of is the fact that I have an old Antminer which hashes as about 3GH/sec, I have no idea if it's possible to use this to find a vanity address but I would think that it is in principle. Maybe I should read more on how to point vanitygen to my miner (right now it's just running on an oldish amd64 at my work ). |

ASIC miners are built with one purpose, to heat your place, and mine bitcoins. The only things that can utilize this are sha-256 alt currencies and anything running sha-256(sha-256) |

Boil water, dry clothes, heat in the winter, maybe cook an egg on, a paperweight. The possibilities are endless! |

Safeness is the same, that's the whole point of split key generation - the requesting party doesn't have to trust the generating party vanitypool will work as well, though - still people polling it (manually or using vanityminer) - just keep in mind that you have to pre-pay. Not terribly expensive, but not free (of course the generating party's electricity/time isn't free either, but there you go). The main down side to vanitypool is that you have to pre-pay and prices are rather on the high side. |

How do I import the private key into bitcoin? That depends on the client (software wallet / online wallet) you're using. Usually if you google for "[name] import private key" you should be able to find instructions on how to do so. |

I was using OSX at work for a few months and I kept coming upon commands in Terminal which had binaries on my path, but the binaries weren't the actual commands, they were symlinks to an installer for the "OS X command line tools" which wanted you to sign this onerous EULA for the XCode something or another when all I wanted was the standard GNU UNIX tools. I ended switching back to linux. For those who can't do that, you might just install a standard linux distro in virtual box. Then you'll have all the bash tools you're used to. |

I spend several hours getting oclvanitygen working with AMD Radeon 7xxx on 64-bit Linux - Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 14.04 In the end only the following is needed: Ubuntu drivers vanitygen patch 1 userspace library file from AMD APP SDK v2.7 I created a minimal instruction text file. Maybe this will save someone some hours of searching the internet. https://nastyfans.org/download/oclvanitygen.txt |
