Vanity Pool - vanity address generator pool

[Moggie]

Is there a fork or another program that can do work on more than one pubkey at the same time?

No, it is a technological limitation. Look at my post in this thread a few messages ago about a possible scheme for mining on multiple public keys (originally invented by ArcCsch). However, this would not be simple, it would require new pool software as well and is a pretty invasive change.

[Cassius]

This is pretty cool but I can't make sense of the fee structure. Does it need updating?
I'd like to get a 10-character vanity address (including the initial '1'), starting 1BL....
That would take around a year to GPU mine on my laptop, which would obviously be impractical, but it's not an insane level of difficulty for a decent GPU. The quoted honest fee is 27,862 BTC, which I don't have.
What's the story here?

Yesterday launched Ethereum Dapp similar to VanityPool: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2445776.0

You can buy vanity address or earn on address mining over Ethereum Smart Contract without any middleware.

Is there a functioning split-key vanity pool. There were two before but I can't seem to find the other legitimate one.

VipCoin Dapp is split-key based: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2445776.0

[DevilOper]

Could anyone point me out to some relatively simple server script for such pool?

Many thanks in advance!

so if i'm correct
you can create addresses and not know the private keys

but then you have a key pair that does what exactly ?
regenerate it ?

The way I understand it's just a way to outsource the generation of your vanity addresses, essentially you will in the end get the pair of private and public keys while not exposing the private key to those who helped you in generating it

You will be generating a half of the private and public key. You will then be sending your part of the public key.

They will use your part of public key to combine with their part of public key to form addresses. When they find the desired sequence when combining your public key and their public key, they will send you their part private key. Combining their part private key and your part private key will generate an address that corresponds to the desired address. It's called split-key generation.

They cannot spend anything without your part private key.

Need a option on there for public keys that are like
1Joe1Katz1
I have 1Joe1Katz from the vanity pool with the public key 04536B7B0FB183B193084AE76097508CEC6A98625577E1CC6B01CCAA82EE7BB4BEF509043A0AD24 0E1F3EDF6ECE11554ED50E6851171A7D78E478DA27ACF010E36

Since the key lengths over 8 chars like 1Joe1Katz1 you should be able to create alternate smaller ones with Case options

Hi dear dev, ThePiachu, I have some questions, answer on it please.
I'm using
C:\Vanitygen PLUS v1.53>oclvanityminer.exe -p 0 -d 0 -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a 157cehkJ1sVkpiTHSjD69CkbvZCYjxbkL1
Searching for pattern: "1BETBTCcom" Reward: 0.200000 Value: 0.000068 BTC/Mkey
Difficulty: 2938077882634386
1)Why it is searching only for 1 address and why 1BETBTCcom?
2)Can it search several addresses at the same time?
3)Or can I maually choose which addresses it must search at the same time?

[bbopa637]

Arulbero asks for an interesting question. Compress and uncompressed Krys are allowed ?

ThePiachu and answer please on this
my next question is, Are all addresses which exist at this moment on your pool is uncompressed?

is this pool actually still working? you might want to confirm it first before wasting resources
eventhough OP's last active in march 2018, his last post was in 2016 and rarely post
if you guys into this kind of work might as well just open a thread in Marketplace > Services

[ThePiachu]

The Pool should still be running, although sometimes we seem to get some API errors from the wallet API provider we're using.

good to hear it's still running
I suggest on the available work page, make it sortable by reward or lavishness
and solved work page should also display solved date info and sortable by solved date and pattern

[Timelord2067]

The main pool is running at:
http://vanitypool.appspot.com/

Just some nitpicking, is it http://vanitypool.appspot.com/ or https://vanitypool.appspot.com/

I've started a [list] VanityGen Wallet Generation - threads, how to & links - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5151346.0 to list the various threads and external links etc and would just like to get it right.

[WhyFhy]

Can anyone verify this is still up and running ?
I'd like to attempt a few of these with 6x  tesla v100s
Is the reward automated or manual releases?.

I just compiled oclvanitygen/oclvanityminer for fun - to see how many years my humble card would take to solve even the simplest work on offer - and it seems to be functional. It fetches a pattern from the server which is also listed on the website.

It looks like oclvanityminer automatically pays out (you specify the address as part of the commandline), but whether the backend at the pool still works, I can't say for sure.

So does this mean the requester's BTC stays tied up in the pool indefinitely, until (and only if) a prefix is matched and claimed? For some of them, it seems improbable a solution will be found, such as '1qwertyuiop' (approximately 221000 years at 1 Mkey/sec). I guess if you had 1000 participants at 500 Mkey/sec each you could crack it, but I presume pool activity sort of died off around the time people stopped mining Bitcoin with GPUs.

...

Things didn't look good when I started poking around the solved page - most solutions from 2013 or 2014 - but then I found one that was solved only a couple of weeks ago. Was it you? If so, please confirm it all works.

Sorry, I have no experience with that particular software. I'm using old-school vanitygen, which is written in C.

A segmentation violation usually means the application has tried to write (and possibly read) an area of memory that is outside the area allocated to it. "addr=0x8" looks like an odd address to be accessing.

I don't know much about Go - is the source compiled to an executable? If so, there may be problems using a newer compiler to build from older source (or vice versa).
