Hi guys!

I have several gpu's farms and want to generate a vanity address.
I can do it by one gpu (oclvanitygen), but how to do with several ones?
Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

The Most Simplest way is to run more than one program at the same time.
You can also use script to controll the progress if you want. Wink

i know it´s a crazy idea, but i can´t resist asking...

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

they are waiting there...

i know it takes a trillion years with 1x GPU,
but...
a Pool with million workers..

much more interesting, than mining directly on nicehashminer

Reward is 0 until Private Keys are found..
Reward = coins found / workers worked time.

Ok @ThePiachu

I will probably try one of them next days

I don't know if you aware of the error message on your website signature
"Go 1.9 is no longer available. Please refer to https://goo.gl/aESk5L for more information."

Hello.

Is this project still alive ?

I am generating my own vanity address, but I would participate in this pool.

Yeah, the project is still around - https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ . Haven't heard anyone complain that it's not working, so it should be chugging along just fine.

Can't double public keys with http://gobittest.appspot.com/VanityAll
The script doen't check is public key on secp256k1 or not

Was Googling around for a free short string split-key generator (3 letters, case sens, any position) and found this topic.

I see there's a fair bit of patterns in the queue at https://vanitypool.appspot.com/availableWork for whatever this necropost is worth.

The remaining in the queue are some of the more difficult addresses to find. I really wish we could get this site some more publicity so we can start to fill up the list with something that is more attainable.

Hi, so I just started doing the vanity mining.
The program started up find and pulled available work and displayed:
"Searching for pattern: "1Aurareus" Reward: 0.096000 Value: 0.000002 BTC/Gkey
Difficulty: 50656515217834

Total value for current work: 0.000002 BTC/Gkey"

So is it only checking the generated keys against the one pattern "1Aurareus", or is it checking for all available patterns. Assumingily, it would be more profitable to check all the available patterns to see if you randomly get it. Is that possible or is the splitkey thing not allowing it. Or am I way off here?

Thanks!

This is from the script's help page (italics are mine):

Quote

Contacts the specified bounty pool server, downloads a list of active bounties, and attempts to generate the address with the best difficulty to reward ratio.

So unless there are two addresses for which this ratio is exactly the same you might be right; it would be better to check simultaneously then. If not it is better to focus on the most rewarding pattern.

As far as I know the software checks for a certain amount of keys at a time to optimise performance. You should ask samr7, he is the programmer behind it.

I was going to try this with a new address that I created on bitcoin-qt. I obtained the address by using validateaddress, which gives a public key.
This public key is compressed, and the web page rejects it.
I asked in #bitcoin-dev how to get a non-compressed address, and they said:

Code:

[19:10]  can I get the public key of a new address locally, using bitcoin-qt
[19:11] <@gmaxwell> ProfMac: open the console, run validateaddress on it.
[19:19]  gmaxwell: thanks, that worked.
[19:40]  I submitted the public key to https://vanitypool.appspot.com/newWork and it complains that it is compressed.
[19:42] <@gmaxwell> ProfMac: tell the vanitypool people to fix their crap. Generating vanity addresses w/ compressed keys is _faster_ than uncompressed.
[19:43]  lol.  I will.

The compressed public key in question is:
0208c65179b9375c1cffee6f6c0e865a814ef1cb736dcc464ef3c54e6d9991d92f

At the moment almost everyone in the Bitcoin world uses uncompressed keys - they are default for importing into blockchain.info as far as I remember for example. I am not sure whether it is possible to mine for vanity addresses using compressed keys (probably is but I would need to make sure with samr7). Also, I don't know of any vanity address calculator that uses compressed keys. I would advise you to generate a new public-private keypair using www.bitaddress.org or gobittest.appspot.com and use that, as you would probably need to use one of those sites to combine the keys anywhere.

doh -- I had it pointed to vanitypooltest.appspot.com instead.

Just curious ... how many new requests do you get for vanity addresses?

Mining requests? My statistics say about 4.5 per minute at the moment. New address requests? Beats me - the solved work page covers all vanity addresses generated by the pool since it got started.

I am not sure, best ask samr7, the author of the miner.

Im trying out the oclvanityminer, but have an odd question:

The miner claims to be Searching for pattern: "1krusher", but the site https://vanitypool.appspot.com/availableWork does not list this pattern as needing work.

Am I confused, or does getwork pull from another page.

Thanks

is there some way to use fpga to mine for vanity names?

Not yet. We would need some special programming done for them, and I'm guessing that would be a lot more work than creating split-key vanity generator from Vanitygen. You ought to ask the people that created your normal mining software if they could look into creating one for vanity mining.
