Well the code differences to have vanitygen do the generation are trivial, it only takes a handful of lines of code to get both the cpu and ocl versions to generate addresses (with the multiplication method) without any loss of speed.
I did also throw together a simple perl script to talk with the server and get/submit work that it passed to vanitygen for the processing. I'm sure it has a bunch of dependencies specific to my system but could probably be cleaned up to be a basic miner client without too much trouble. Not heavily tested since there hasn't been too much work posted there and I didn't want to point too much processing power at it for just testnet coins but haven't had any problems so far, guess I'll see what I can do about making it more independent and let some other people test it out.
Topic: [Bounty - Claimed] Vanity address split-key generator software - page 3. (Read 22811 times)
I'll add a couple coins to the bounty. I would like to see something like this since it would allow an alternative to bitcoin mining as a source of revenue. Plus it will allow people to create whatever vanity addresses they wanted and hopefully receive them in a timely fashion. I just sent payment.
Hello,
I have been working on developing a "vanity pool" for split-key address generating. You can read more about it here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vanity-pool-vanity-address-generator-pool-84569
As the Vanity Pool is starting to take shape and working okay, it's time to look into getting some split-key generation software going (a "vanity miner" if you will). So I'm setting a bounty of 10 Bitcoins (plus whatever gets donated) for member of the Bitcoin community that will create software with the following features:
Or in more human language - allow one to generate split-key vanity addresses on a GPU at a decent rate and automate work fetching from the provided website. The website for testing the solutions is available at
https://vanitypooltest.appspot.com/
and running on Testnet. More bounties for vanity-mining-related software will be coming in the near future, so keep a lookout.
If anyone wishes to increase the bounty, the donation address is:

The current total is:
10 12 BTC
EDIT:
The bounty has been claimed by samr7 and his oclvanityminer:
