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

[Chris!]

I know the wiki lists a good amount of GPUs and how they perform but does anyone have another list or anywhere else where more GPUs were consolidated showing their performances? I'm still looking for some casual address finding of my own and my CPU won't cut it if I need anything 5 characters or higher (case sensitive).

ill tell you there is a HUGE difference between my r9 380 and my rx 470 and 480s..

the r9 380 only does around 22-25Mk/s

even tho it mines ethereum at about the same speed as the rx cards..

with the price of the rx 470 cards being less than 150$ id just those.

What speed are you getting with the 470?
Thanks,

about 155Mk/s for 2

Plowed back through (very quickly) to see if there was a working windows binary with support for compressed keys but couldn't find anything.

No reason (especially nowadays) to NOT use compressed keys to save a few bytes.

TIA!

There are some forks that support compressed keys (such as ExploitAgency's), although I've run into CPU / GPU hash mismatch errors when attempting compressed key generation using the modified oclvanitygen.

is there a way to make it show all Adresses generated "live" in the Terminal ?......For "Eye candy"

[aarons6]

millions of keys a second?

i dont think the terminal can show that much before it will crash.

maybe a way to limit it, 5 addresses per second, stop displaying more then 100 addresses in one session ?

Thanks for the reply - I guess I'll stick with the larger keys to be safe...

SI there nay guide to use Vanitygen for altcoin ?

 Nay but it's not difficult in the least if you already know how to use vanitygen.
Use the -X option and a number from the table on this page corresponding to the prefix you need.
For example Litecoin needs an L so you would use decimal value 48

Code:

C:\Users\xhomerx10\Downloads\vanitygen-0.22-win>oclvanitygen -d 0:0 -X 48 LTCsux
Difficulty: 264104224
Pattern: LTCsux
Address: LTCsux36wDQkJ8vQ1mUmqSc2AcprwMiZg8
Privkey: 6um9edQTyJk7xjCpaR2WrjNxnf6vhzGAhxcqW8inU4jotDTL9Cc

NB I don't believe that litecoin sucks

 Also, it's even easier since ExploitAgency has created a fork of vanitygen which I have not yet played with yet but fully intend on testing at some point in the future.

Ok I've used vanitygen on Linux a lot of times but I'm terrible with terminal and can't remember what I'm supposed to type. I think after I type one thing I'm supposed to type

Code:

./vanitygen

but I can't remember what the first command should be to actually get it up and running. Is anybody able to post that for me? I'm having a huge brain fart.
[/s] Nevermind. As usual if I look for hours, give up and post a question I'll find the answer haha.

For my future reference

Command to run Vanitygen working on Linux (Mint 18.1 in my case)

Code:

cd vanitygen
./vanitygen 1test

Waiting for the first GPU vanity address miner.

Waiting for the first GPU vanity address miner.

What do you mean waiting for it? You can already do it. Just use oclvanitygen that comes with vanitygen and you can already mine addresses with a GPU

i think he meant the pool miner.. and its been broken for awhile.

oclvanityminer works fine for mining on a pool with a GPU. How is it broken? I've used it successfully and the only issue I've ever seen is the occasional DNS lookup failures with a pool.

One thing I found is that if you manually enter in the string for the pool miner it acts weird/won't connect, but when I copy and pasted the command from a post in this thread to connect to the vanity pool and changed the address to mine it worked fine.

That could be the issue.

Right, it's the combination of firstbits.com catching on and vanity generation that leads to "claiming" vanity addresses in the blockchain. If I'm thinking of starting a new bitcoin-related service, I almost want to check not only that the domain name is available, but that the firstbits address is available. And then one wants to claim the firstbits address as soon as possible, even when one is unsure whether or not one will be using it, since the cost is so low to claim.

But I do doubt that anyone will want to buy my private keys off of me, even for some really nice firstbits addresses, unless perhaps there's some sort of legally enforceable way to ensure that I delete all copies of the key that I have.

i hv hardware rnd generator i can use it on vanitygen ? if i can how use it ? add rand bites how seed ?

my rng gen bit's entropy

Entropy = 7.999506 bits per byte.

Optimum compression would reduce the size
of this 333348 byte file by 0 percent.

Chi square distribution for 333348 samples is 227.67, and randomly
would exceed this value 89.00 percent of the times.

Arithmetic mean value of data bytes is 127.4296 (127.5 = random).
Monte Carlo value for Pi is 3.143309694 (error 0.05 percent).
Serial correlation coefficient is -0.001518 (totally uncorrelated = 0.0).
