I wish directory.go all key generator had function to generate keys by choosing pattern it seems to be much faster than oclvanitygen but the problem is how to check the matches since u get around 100mb- 1 gb file per second in generatated keys depend on hardware... has anyone tryed to edit ?
does anyone use brainflayer to generate keys ? have u solved problem how to make all cores work in one operation ? its a bad thinng u can only use 1 core per operation , wish i could start all 32 cores in same time.
Your method (sequential search of private keys for a vanity address) is not faster than oclvanitygen. Just try and find something harder like 1ZeusLight.... and come back here when you find one and tell us how long it took your method to find it.
yes if will take unlimited of time of course..
So, you see then: 1ZeusLight is something that oclvanitygen can do (in a "reasonable" amount of time) but it is too hard for your method and would take a very unreasonable amount of time to find.
Also, if you were really serious about finding 1ZeusLight then you could go pay for the Vanitygen POOL to find it for you. That way you would have a whole bunch of people working on it in parallel. The pool would find it even faster.
I asked how long here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.25168267 Yea i see it takes toooo much time. No im not serious to create this address no meaning to use power for it. thanks for asking .. will be intresting to see what answer will be.
I try to understand the bitcoin function and it seems the more u work with it the more u will see and more answers u get answered the more questions it gives.. I think there are some addresses with specific patterns that have much more less possibilites of combinations than others. and others hae much more.. as pattern 1C for example i see it every where.
BTW ::: I read about one guy in github claims he lsot hes privkey and trys to find it lol... and he worte :
"of course nobody can crack private key from address.
but there is a biggest secret in address, which gives you exact location.
means in which numbers you have your key.
but unable to find exact number, researching since a year.
hired many people to solve that math's issue.
paid a lot of money, but nobody is perfect.
if we can resolve that calculation, then we can find exact key.
tried with 100s of private keys.
getting same method, but unable to find, but where the difference coming from."
I have never heard this before , and i dont think its possible to see where the key is located around big int + or does it really existst?? anyone who know more about this.
