Hello,
I am interested in generating vanity addresses for myself and have multiple GPUs on hand to do so. Here is my question: is it possible to use the gpu version of the vanity address software on multiple GPUs for a higher generation rate or is it limited to only one GPU?

Here is the line I am running now:
oclvanitygen -d 0 -k -o filename.txt 1cryptopi3

That takes quite a long time to run on only one 7950, but my rig has multiple of them so I would like to know if I can use all the 7950s in my rig to generate that address or if I am only limited to one.

Thanks! Smiley

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Awesome, thanks. Also, is there a tutorial which specifically details how to pool mine vanity addresses (how to use the software I am already using to make them for myself but use it with a pool such as https://vanitypool.appspot.com)? I searched the forum, to no real avail Sad.

Thank you

When I remove the -d 0 and save the bat file and open it, it just crashes. Are you sure I was supposed to remove the -d 0?

Thanks
