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

[Muhammed Zakir]

I have been working with this s*** for at day now. I can get vanitygen.exe working no problem, but oclvanitygen.exe will not create a single/simple adress? What is the command line for creating a privkey for 1goat

I have tried    oclvanitygen.exe -d 0 -i 1goat

What is not working here? oclvanityget has identitied my AMD GPU, but no result 

UPDATE:  It has to be a driver issue, because I can for the oclvanitygen to use the CPU and this works.... But why can the 7800 series GPU mine and not be used for vanitygen?

IIRC shouldn't the command be "D" not "d" when allocating GPUs?

Depends on how it's being addressed:

-d <device>   Select OpenCL device
-D <devstr>   Use OpenCL device, identified by device string
              Form: <platform>:<devicenumber>[,<options>]
              Example: 0:0,grid=1024x1024
-p <platform> Select OpenCL platform

Really?

Yes, really   No lowercase 'L', no uppercase 'o', no uppercase 'i' and no '0' (number zero).

If you used -i (case insensitive) it would have looked for 1koeLen (and 1KoeLen and 1KOeLen and 1KOELen, etc. etc.) - but the number it should have returned should have been very low then (as there's many more possible hits).  If you used it with the -r (regex), then I think it accepts all those forbidden characters, but it wouldn't give an estimate of when it would be found (if I recall that correct).

I used -i , i will give it a try with -r too
But thanks to you i have one for myself now
Cheers

Can vanitygen be used to generate addresses for Dash (Darkcoin)?

If so anybody know which code to be used in vanitygen i.e. X 30 for Doge?

Thanks

EDIT: Found it... 77

List of codes can be found here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes

 There's a list of codes here - http://multicoinpool.org/index.php?page=vanity and here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes

Looks like Dash should be 76 but I have not yet imported any addresses created this way into a wallet.

Stupid Question - Is there a way to copy the Privkey from Commandprompt that i get after running vanitygen ? I hate typing it manually.

You just highlight it and copy as normally... Or make vanitygen output the keys to a txt file

True, it should be 76 and not 77 as I stated. Thanks for those additional links.

Thank you! Never though it could be this easy

One question, how to run Vanitygen on my OS X? I don't know how to setup those files on Github.

One question, how to run Vanitygen on my OS X? I don't know how to setup those files on Github.

Download vanitygen and unzip it. Direct to vanitygen folder and run make.

You will need to install OpenSSL and pcre. See http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/6005 for installing pcre & see https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/issues/20 for installing OpenSSL.

P.S. If any error is showing when running 'make', post output here. Someone will help you.

I found a better link - http://www.stanley-adams.co.uk/2013/12/custom-vanity-bitcoin-address/. Hope that helps you.

[LsHallo]

As said in the start post you need some numbers for GCN GPUs.
I hope you still need them after time.
My R9 290 makes 33-36MKey/s @ 1000MHz Core and 1260MHz VRAM
And for addition: My i7 860 @ 2,93GHz makes 700-800kKey/s

Following is a problem I had with vanitygen, not sure whether I did something wrong and or whether this is something that may happen from time to time...

a) I generated 5 Doge addresses making use of the oclvanity command and the -X 30 -e parameters to generate a addresses with encrypted private keys.

b) Some coins were sent to the one address and all seemed fine (luckily only about $1)

c) I used the keyconv command with the -X 30 parameter to decrypt the encrypted private key which worked without any problems and it gave me the correct Doge address

d) I tried to import the private key of this address into a Dogechain wallet but it does not accept the private key. Tried the Wif and Hex versions of the private key

e) Tried the Doge paper wallet generator where you enter the Wif/Hex keys and get details on the address and tried the other formats of the private key but none seems to work...

The above only happened with the one address, the other 4 all worked fine and I've been able to import them without problems. Is this something that happens or something I did wrong and if so how do I prevent this from happening or should I just test every address before use to make sure they work 100%?

I had no idea that vanitygen worked for any coin other than bitcoin.  Wish I could help?  Also, isn't keyconv command part of an external python lib?  Seems like there are several possible points of failure here.

Do you have OpenCL already working on your machine/video card?

Nope, if you could help me i will be more than gratefull, asked tons of people but it all ends in no.

[hexafraction]

What OS are you using? Do you have up-to-date drivers? Which GPU (specific ATI model)?
