Vanity Pool - vanity address generator pool

¿why Not Brute-Force the 1 Million BTC Satoshi Nakamoto address ?

It's much easier to find a new block. Brute-forcing random private keys is just a waste of energy.

1 Milliiom BTC = $32 Billion usd.

$32´000,000,000 usd.

you can buy all the Power plants you want.


when all 21 million coins are mined,
miner reward will be only the transfer fee,


nice hash calculator:
1x RTX3090 less than $8usd. /day.
https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-rtx-3090

less than $2900usd. /year.
$29,000usd. / 10 Years. "without including electric bill increase, coin reward halved, difficulty increase, etc..."

if there is 1 Million Brute-Force miners = $1 BTC each.
vs. Ten years of work to make less money.

There's not one address holding a million Bitcoin, you'll need to brute-force 20,000 different addresses. There are currently 5,739 addresses holding exactly 50 Bitcoin, and 37,003 addresses holding 50.x Bitcoin (I can imagine many of those addresses have received some dust over the years).

if there is 1 Million Brute-Force miners = $1 BTC each.

You can try as long as you want, you'll never find a randomly generated private key. This image comes to mind:

I would refer you to the below picture to help you understand the probability of finding a "random" private key with coin in it:


There are 2^160 possible private keys. For comparison, there are currently approximately 2^26 unspent outputs, however some addresses have multiple unspent outputs.

If a private key was generated randomly, for all intents and purposes, it is not going to be found out via a brute force attack.

No new messages since a while, has anyone used it in 2021 ?

The Pool should still be up, haven't heard of anyone complain about it in awhile.

Won't vanity generators it make it easy for people to steal funds?

No, no!
Let me explain, this is the satoshi's wallet that holds 72 Bitcoin: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
I have a VanitySearch and use RTX2060. If I were to try to generate exactly that address, the situation would look like this:


Here you see that hashrate of 951.41 Mkey/s takes 3.37637e+31 years FOR 50% chance to generate that address. Now, multiply 951.41 Mkey/s to whatever number of RTX 2060 GPU you want and then tell me what gives you a hope that by creating a pool, you'll be able to crack addresses. Chances are almost non-existent.

Ok ok! I thought that the vanity pool website was people selling the vanity addresses (which would make it trivial to steal funds!), but I guess they are just showing them off.
