...The more times you try, the more likely it becomes to roll a 6.
Dice have no memory. The chance to roll a 6 is the same at every throw. So it is NOT more likely to throw a 6 the more times you try.
Guys, I've asked about probability and time previously:
1,
2 and got the answer that "Dice have no memory."
Okay, but I still could not understand what does it mean on practice. And to illustrate my frustration here is the
animated image (actually it is html+css).
So, I could search forever for my 1 exact 9-prefixed address?
you should read on math subject of probability and chance
in short, probability is theoritical calculation on possible outcomes while chance is based on luck factor
in this vanitygen case, your luck depends on random seed producing targeted pattern
thus the chance is the same everytime because you starting with random seed every time
If you're running searches for months, you may want to make a longer list of words to search for. By making a list with prefixes you may find more cool addresses in the same amount of time.
and I agree with what he said, add a few more patterns to make it worthwhile
so with multiple pattern search on single run you can get your other desired patterns at once
for example: 1Thirdspace 1Th3rdspace 1Thirdsp4ce 1Th3rdsp4ce 13rdspaceif you just do single pattern, you might missed the chance hitting the other patterns
I wish I have the power to do that kind of pattern
but I was a bit lucky with 1Third address (on profile) using only cpu power
I got it in around 10-12 hour while it says 50% in 1.1d at the beginning
btw can someone response to my question a few post earlier
anyhow to modify the code to also work/search on compressed addresses
