I'm trying oclvanitygen on win7 x64 and running into a problem.
Here is what I'm doing:
C:\Users\User\Desktop\vanitygen-0.20-win>oclvanitygen -d 0 1Torza
Difficulty: 15318045009
Available OpenCL platforms:
0: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
0: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] Barts
1: [GenuineIntel] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
1: [Intel(R) Corporation] Intel(R) OpenCL
0: [Intel(R) Corporation] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
I'm selecting -d 0 (have also tried -d0, without spaces) and get the same error every time. I have an AMD 6870 in my machine. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
EDIT: Doing oclvanitygen -D 0:0 did the trick!

You know, either I'm lazy, or I'm clueless. I'll wait until someone figures out how to do a step-by-step for BAMT, or someone uploads a img file that works already.
hehehehe. well, not so clueless, I mean, I did get to set up a couple of GPU rigs. They're just not worth the coins they are mining now.

Ok, linux newb question, what is the easiest way to downgrade the AMDAPP SDK files? I do not have keyboard access to this rig, doing via SSH, and I think its FTP ports are blocked.... the link posted is not a direct weblink i can wget from. So, how do i download, and then how to I install those? Thanks a ton!
To install, untar the file and then type ./Install-AMD-APP.sh

You should have at least SFTP access so you could download the file to your home machine and then SFTP to your Linux machine. (Since AMD's complicated site is hard to download from if you only have access to a Lynx browser.) In case you don't have SFTP access, I have now created http://lifeboat.com/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.7-lnx64.tar for you that you can wget from.
I have it installed and running on my BAMT, vanitygen runs fine, oclvanitygen just tosses out CPU/GPU Found errors
Are you using the version of oclvanitygen at lifeboat.com? If not, where did you get it from?
https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen.git
Use the source at https://github.com/scintill/vanitygen/tree/compressed_opencl
Change line 459 in oclengine.c from:
Code:
return quirks;
Code:
return quirks & ~VG_OCL_AMD_BFI_INT;
You also need to downgrade AMDAPP SDK to 2.7. You can find this SDK at http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/download-archive/

Here is Catalyst 12.10 files to fix the issue with oclvanitygen.exe on 7### series of AMD/ATI Radeon on Win7x64 systems.
Just unpack and copy files to your windows dir, or run .bat files under Administrator.
Tested it on Radeon 79XX and found it working perfectly @ 27Mkeys/sek.

Works on 7970 without restart PC with 13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql drivers!

Anyone gotten this to work on a BAMT rig?
BAMT is Linux. If you wish, I could provide you with the source so you could compile this on your Linux setup. Or you could install Windows on your machine and then run our Windows program.

I have it installed and running on my BAMT, vanitygen runs fine, oclvanitygen just tosses out CPU/GPU Found errors, I cannot get it to actually mine addresses and export anything real. I have tried the -S option to try to slow it down enough but still has errors. I am looking for just 1 address, would take about 20 minutes if i could have my GPUs working at it!
I am .75 days in on vanitygen using CPU, and it has found 3 addresses but the caps have been wrong, and vanitygen ignores the -i flag. :/
So I too am looking to see if anyone has got BAMT working!

who ever put the time and effort to create this i have to say thank you very much. awesome
Anyone gotten this to work on a BAMT rig? I have five Sapphire R9 270Xs... and they're tired of mining, so I think I will allow them to look for a few vanity addresses.
Here's a picture of my rig:
Dabs Rig with 4 GPUs
A dozen Sapphires
Veggie Crate Rig 5 GPU Sapphire 270X
sgminer showing 5 GPUs working

im getting that error too! on windows trying to use my 7850! the file and oclvanitygen are in same dir!
Are you running the program from the command prompt? If you are, type "dir" and let me know what you see.

I had to lol at this. First and foremost unless the program was coded to work WITHOUT arguments it won't close. The program EXPECTS arguments, you are not giving it any, so it just exits. This is stuff on a basic level.
I had just ran the first thing that I had seen in the folder.

Thank you for the time and effort spent developing this! I am very excited to give it a whirl.
