Oh, by the way, I got it working under Linux, just copy miner.py onto the machine and run, changing the path to oclvanitygen to suit where it is on the system. I'd imagine this would work on OSX too.

Code:
/usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/miner.py --url=https://bitcoinvanity.appspot.com --id=1
--miner="/usr/local/bin/oclvanitygen -d0"

* Note only a single set of double quotes.

Your stats page shows new unpaid work, but the miner is not finding anything?

Code:
C:\vanity>c:\Python27\python.exe miner.py --url=https://bitcoinvanity.appspot.com --id=1xxx --miner "'C:\vanity\oclvanitygen.exe -d0'"
2013-06-06 09:31:22,519:INFO: Miner Args:'C:\vanity\oclvanitygen.exe -d0'

Hi Nibor,

I sent you a PM but you didn't reply.

So, I would love to contribute/earn some bitcoins that way, but it looks like your client is for Windows only. Is there anyway to do it on OS X? I don't know how you wrote your .exe, but I think it would be rather easy to port it to Mac.

Thanks in advance,

I haven't checked your miner.py script yet, but +1 for Linux.

I have  bit of a backlog at the moment.

There is 0.08 BTC to be had by whoever finds the prefixes.

In terms of what you earn it is same payment rate as normal mining with a 1.2million difficulty.

Please see:

Feel free to check:
https://bitcoinvanity.appspot.com/stats
to see if there is a backlog of paid prefixes and then you can join in and make a few 0.01BTC's
