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

[manrus]

When I run vanitygen64, it operates at top speed for a few seconds (1.2 MK/s) then drops down to about half. This only happens usually while searching for 5 character prefixes (after the 1). Can anyone help me with this?
Windows 8 64 bit
AMD 8120 8 core


Also, how to use oclvanitygen? When I do
oclvanitygen.exe -d 0 1test
It just returns a list of devices. Help?

Use oclvanitygen.exe -p 0 -d 0 -d 0 1test

Does vanitygen work on alt coins like LTC, TRC, etc? I've never tried, wasn't sure if there was an option you'd need to use or just choose a prefix with the right number?

I'm not very good with running command line stuff and lack of a helpful readme or sample command lines isn't helping my cause much

I'm trying to create for myself a case sensitive vanity address using my gfx card.

If someone would be so kind as to throw up a sample command line that I could copy I'd be very grateful.

I want to +1 this because I too have been unable to get the kind of output I want.  Is it supposed to just generate a .oclbin file? What do I do with that?

Anyone? Please

Run it in a command prompt to get the error if it just exits

I hope someone will post a version that generates compressed keys, even if it just on CPU, though I prefer GPU.

[bitpop]

cant you compress your own keys?

[Stardust]

I can generate compressed keys using openssl, but is way slower than vanitygen. Uncompressed keys take more space in the blockchain...

I tried a vanity address gave it 3 1run and it finds it in minutes but as soon as its 1run7 it is taking days to find.  Why does it take so much longer to find or make a vanity with 4 after the 1 that all bitcoin addresses have?

cant you compress your own keys?

Yes but compressing changes the address

What is your keyrate? Finding vanity addresses is a probability game. You may be just getting unlucky finding 1run7. Vanitygen should be telling you the cumulative probability that you should have found the address by now. Does it say 99.9%? Or is your hardware very slow and it got lucky finding 1run very early?

Can it be modified to match all available patterns at once so its more efficient?

thats easy, just use 1 as pattern

Ok, that actually made me laugh aloud

I wonder if he was serious lol

vanitygen: Intel core i5 3570k 4.0ghz turbo running 100% power is getting about 840 kkey/s
oclvanitygen: PNY 660 ti stock 20.98 mkeys/s

oclvanitygen -p for my dual 660ti's doesn't work. says the platform number is 0 and I set it to 0, but it still shows the platform and devices after I try to launch... Works fine when I specify which device I want to run, and they both run well. I can't run them both at the same time in two windows although.

Good job

Any ideas? Am I missing some dependencies?

[bitpop]

What sdk?

[Wassupia]

What sdk?

I did a clean driver install -problem solved

But when I run
oclvanitygen.exe -p 0 -d 0 -o results.txt 1t
It keeps on showing gpu and cpu hashes, it doesn't produce the output file.

I'm using 0.22

[bitpop]

Does it have write permission?
