ThePiachu, do you have any connection to the following website: http://www.haagediss.comIf not, I would like to let you know that someone is misusing your name. Thanks for your concern. I have been developing various solutions for this person over the course of a couple months. The server side of this website was one of those. The frontend was done by him, as was the idea.

Yeah, the Pool accepts hex encoded solutions, not base58. I might add that feature in the next version. It's not base58, it's the compressed address format that the bitcoin client started using in v0.6. Been working on improving vanitygen performance and added compressed support to vanitypool.thruhere.net for testing but promptly solved all the remaining work there. Seems you can improve the hash rate by 80-90% pretty easily by checking the compressed addresses as well but it effectively cuts all the bounties here in half if half the solutions get rejected.

Hmm, sounds promising. Can you point me to some specification of that format, so I can try implementing it?

Also note that the sign was in fact wrong on one of those solutions that I posted the other day, I updated the post to have another correct example so they should be safe to check against.

Hmm, so you have received confirmation emails, but the solutions are not present on the pool?

Actually, the solution works, it's just that my GoBitTest website appears to have some problems with it. Given the private key: 4876652DE4D45277999C7C02C5E8EB0CEF7A512CB4AE7EF51A85ED2D1996A629 it prints: 049322AA20CA83131F635C7ACBB05484E3FEDEAC699DF6FF34AEFDFEFEF4EEFFAEC10A698CC2DF6 DD9A9B95175C7C4416132F03771C21EC9DFF824FA5F7630B5 Using https://www.bitaddress.org/ we get: 049322AA20CA83131F635C7ACBB05484E3FEDEAC699DF6FF34AEFDFEFEF4EEFFAE 00C10A698CC2DF6DD9A9B95175C7C4416132F03771C21EC9DFF824FA5F7630B5 So my test suite doesn't print that first zero byte for one of the points. I will look into fixing it soon. Adding your public key, we get the solution of: 1PepsiCosowjScTRFjSUvpgnEeEfC5Xbi Sorry about the inconvenience.

Ah thanks, but how can I add the 2 private keys together to get the one for 1PepsiCosowjScTRFjSUvpgnEeEfC5Xbi
Edit - Ah I see that you'll said you would fix that on your site, np & no rush, I'll do it then

I think that if you add the private keys, it should work fine. The problem only appears to affect that public key at the moment. If you combine the private keys, you should get a proper private key you can import and so forth.

Wow, that's the most annoying sig I've seen. Welcome to /ignore. LOL - BFL paid me to pimp them in my sig, I hoped to get a balance between getting attention for them & being annoying, obviously it's a fine line & I'm sorry that you've found it annoying, as it happens their last month's rental of my sig space ran out a few days ago & as I don't post every day on the forums as they require I doubt that they will offer to pay me to continue advertising for them so I expect that the sig will revert to something less in your face very soon, I am a big fan of BFL btw which is why I was happy to promote them.

Hmm, I have updated the testing site to properly pad public keys. I hope that will solve your problem as well.

it doesn't go to a blank page now but instead reports: Private keys are invalid

Hmm, that is strange. I've added more clearer error message displays to the test suite to indicate which private key would be invalid. I spent some time analysing the code, and it appears to be working fine. It takes private keys from 1 to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364140, and the error you experienced is only displayed if the key is bigger than the latter number, or smaller than 1. In other words, it shouldn't be happening, as I've tried out the solution in the testing suite (it works fine), and I reckon you have also previously used your private key with success. If the testing suite acts up still, let me know which key is to blame - the solution, or yours (it will be displayed). Alternatively, you can use https://www.bitaddress.org/ , as its Vanity Address option uses the additive method.

Many thanks, it's now working fine & I have the sum, sorry it was late at night when I tried before & for some reason I had an incorrect 2nd private key - now I rechecked & it's all fine, my apologies for the extra work & my thanks to the solvers - especially whoever just solved the hardest to date with 9 chars after the initial 1 & claimed the highest bounty paid out so far (though it wasn't much considering the difficulty unless one was very lucky).
