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

[forumaster]

ok i solved my problem with oclminer using a .bat instead of directly cmd but with this method there is another problem... How to prevent the window from closing when the address is found?

Code:

oclvanitygen.exe 1ForuM

Code:

 Send it to a file (-o filename) so you don't lose it or use the -k switch which forces vanitygen to keep looking.

or if in windows, shift-right click and select open command window here on the directory containing oclvanitygen

Hello,

i have a System with 6 AMD 480'er cards inside and will create some adresses with vanitygen.

My System show the card from the claymore miner

Cards available: 6
GPU #0: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #1: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #2: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #3: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #4: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
GPU #5: name: Ellesmere, 8192 MB available, 36 compute units
Total cards: 6

But how can i use this 6 cards to find a BTC Adress like "1WiLLi......." not only with the CPU and 300-400 khash / sec.
i will use my grafikcards to find the adress very fast, but i cant...

Best Regards
Willi

Just use oclvanitygen

[willi9974]

yes i have tried
but if i start oclvanitygen.exe -v 1WiLLi it will only display the openCL platforms

Code:

C:\> oclvanitygen.exe -v 1WiLLi

and if i use the Platform 0 i get the same output

Code:

[/code]

what for a exacly command line strin did i need? and why get i only one card from my six cards back in the platform / device list?

[aarons6]

i cant get it to work with my rx 480s either.. they seem to have broken something in the new drivers.

thanks, now I'm ready to generate everything! (ok, not everything), I make 2,50 Mkey/s with my small GT540M

i had the same problem, you just need to create a .bat file, put it in the folder of vanitygen and write this:

Code:

oclvanitygen.exe -o whereyouwanttosave.txt 1UrName

and then open it!

You have 480s working with vanitygen?

 No, I saw it's CUDA.

awesome! thanks!

Code:

start in a batch will not work

if i start in a batch with -D 0:0 or 0:1
It is a Test on my laptop and not on my big AMD 480 Miner but the programm shows me the GPU computing power in the message (see below) but it will not start

oclvanitygen.exe -D 0:0 1WiLLi

I'm fairly sure that oclvanitygen doesn't work on Intel HD graphics... that is CPU graphics. You need a discrete GPU card like nVidia or AMD Radeon for oclvanitygen to work

From the wiki:

Vanitygen includes components to perform address searching on your CPU (vanitygen) and your OpenCL-compatible GPU (oclvanitygen)

I have a Nvidia GeForce GT540M (it' very old and it's for laptop xD)

My laptop have Intel HD graphics too but it is only for minor things such as desktop shades, etc... for compute/mine you need a OpenCL or Cuda GPU

I have two cards and my command line looks something like this:

Code:

C:\>oclvanitygen64.exe -f work.txt -o dump.txt -D 0:0 -D 0:1

So yours *should* look something like:

Code:

C:\>oclvanitygen64.exe -f work.txt -o dump.txt -D 0:0 -D 0:1 -D 0:2 -D 0:3 -D 0:4 -D 0:5

Does ANYone know how to change the code so that more address calculations will be executed before generating a new random key?

If it calculates 3M addresses then generates a new random key, what code would we change to make it calculate 300M addresses before generating a new random key?

Thanks!

[altcointalk14]

Is there a limit per PC on the generation rate?  Max Mkeys/sec?

I am playing with one PC with Six R9 270 GPU.

If installed in 16x GPU Slot, only one GPU, I get about 16.5 Mkeys/sec  (all installed in same slot give 16-18Mkey/sec)

If I install only one GPU with 1x power riser, I get about 11 MKeys/sec

Then if I install 3 GPU I get expected 3x or about 49 Mkey/sec, but 3 installed with 1x powered riser I get around 31 Mkey/sec (3x one with 1x riser)

Six gpu installed all with 1x powered riser, I get about 52Mkey/sec

Thanks for any ideas!

I am guessing it is one of these two lines:

Code:

	const BN_ULONG rekey_max = 10000000;
	BN_ULONG npoints, rekey_at, nbatch;

I hate to do the trial and error hack, but that is it, 10000000  increase to increase the hashes between random new key and decrease to generate more new random keys.

I get error "Access is denied" when start oclvanitygen.exe (as admin)  What's wrong?
vanitygen64.exe works fine.

How to get it working on linux? I already downloaded the source, but I don't know what I need to do now, sorry for the question but i never used linux... 😂

I guess you should compile it. Check if you have gcc installed. If you don't know what is gcc, you may want to switch back to Windows
