How many gtx1060 cards will be needed to have the same speed as the entire LBC?

Made more experiments.
Two cards do not interfere each other and work at 16+25 Megakeys in one PC.  Grin

Two CPU cores are used.

Upgraded 1050ti to gtx1060 3GB.

On 1050ti: LBC had 22Mkeys, vg from ndv 16Mkeys.
On gtx1060: LBC dropped to 20Mkeys, vg from ndv 25Megakeys.  Grin

Cpu is core i7 3.7, with vg only one core is used.
GPU consumes 65W. GPU is 100% utilized, gpu mem is 7% utilized.

Still very interested in benchmarks on 1070 and 1080.

p.s. most of $500 went to rewriting launcher, but not OpenCL kernel.
Today he boosted the speed from 11.5megakeys to 17 in a couple of hours.  Grin

Says that ECC part should be rewritten properly, and many other things.

Testing done today. Now it successfully searches all previous bounty PKs.

Also some boost in speed - on 1050ti 17megakeys (LBC was 22mk).

Still very interested in benchmarks on high end cards. C'mon, dudz!

Partially done!

I've payed my $500 to the programmer who modified oclvanitygen for searching 32BTC bounty (or any other address actually)
All possible optimizations are NOT done, because he asked for $1100. But even now it is doing all the stuff on GPU.
Both compressed and uncompressed addresses.
Actually it is an disconnected version of LBC. Network access is not required at all. All code is opensource.
It is Nvidia optimized, but should run on ATI with about 10% penalty.
He claims that it runs in windows without crappy virtualization.

On my gf1050ti it is almost twice SLOWER than LBC. But I'm really really interested in seeing benchmarks for large rigs, because CPU  is not bottleneck any more.

p.s. If someone wants further development, contact me or him directly. It can be split to parts, not only $600 or nothing.

deal is done.  Grin

Nice, once you have working binary and source shoot me a PM.

No problem.

Cheap as in cost of work.

And I understand where people are coming from:

1. They are invested in the very thing you are trying to "break."
B. They believe it's a waste of time due to the exponential expansion of the search space.

You're pretty much walking into a bank and asking the teller to buy you a gun to rob said bank, lol.

Thanks,
Jude

I wouldn't call that cheap without knowing the developer's origin, that 1k$ could be worth 6 months salary in some countries.

True, not trying to be inconsiderate or put anyone down.

I am just basing my assumption off of quotes I have seen for OpenCL work in the past.

Wut? Sooo strange conclusions you've made.

For EVERY LBC member speeding up the entire LBC is good, because we could collect bounties a bit faster. That's especially true for glatzer and other maniacs with dedicated rigs.

But if the mass is too hesitatory, then it is even better for smaller group, who will get an advantage for themselves.

Why does that seem super cheap?

Thanks for commenting Smiley

Cheap - you mean I offer some scam?
Or cheap for a programmer to work for a week and earn $1k ?

For me $1k is a close to month's salary (programmer too).


The best option would be for LBC community to gather and to spend 5-10 bucks each. But surprisingly nobody give's a fsck.

As time goes by, I'm more convinced that current LBC's goal is to PREVENT effective brute forcing of Bitcoin address space.  Grin

Hey!

OK, deleting initial post. Fork is already done, and freely available.

https://github.com/ndv/vanitygen

But there's plenty of opportunities to make it faster (for extra bucks).

If you want to make it better, contact this programmer.

......


If you like LBC and its Remote Exec Feature do not read any more.

1.
LBC itself has a BIG problem - it is heavily CPU bound.
A classic mining rig with 4-6 GPUs is almost useless with it.
Most of GPUs will be underutilized.
By contrast oclvanitygen even now uses 100% of GPU. After moving ALL processing to GPU it will be super scalable.

2.
LBC users have a BUNCH of problems - your hardware is not utilized, you do not know what addresses are in bloom filter, you do not know what Rico executes on your PC, you cannot be sure that you are actually not making doublecheck after other LBC users, you cannot be 100% sure the whole LBC is not scam. Isn't that enough?
