I don't think Anywho is solveable unless it's supposed to mean 1Anywho? Is it another coin besides Bitcoin? Coin that starts with "A" on their addresses?

Please make sure your work is solvable in a given address space - some addresses cannot be generated with some net bytes.

svost-suse:~/tmp/vanitygen # ./oclvanitygen -t 1 -X 8 4Balthazar -D 0:0 -D 0:1
Invalid character 'l' in prefix '4Balthazar'

 Grin

"l" is not in the address alphabet because it looks too much like "1" and "i".

I think that it will take a little time to generate such address Cheesy

Hello.
Can you add support of novacoin addresses in your pool?

svost-suse:~/tmp/vanitygen # ./oclvanitygen -t 1 -X 8 4Svost -D 0:0 -D 0:1
Difficulty: 264104224
Pattern: 4Svost                                                               
Address: 4SvostXKDDzYn35WYXKZiGqsLAJjc9CCqt - (short pattern successfully generated and set in a wallet)
Privkey: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The Pool supports any vanity address as long as appropriate net byte is given. Please make sure your work is solvable in a given address space - some addresses cannot be generated with some net bytes. Bounties still have to be paid in Bitcoin.

So uhm - how does this work? I want to mine, I got the miner software, what now? Do you get the miner fees for solving them?

EDIT I've also got a problem, want to get one, want to pay, but it tells me to send to :
mp6kXv1sV3GmYuuaynfRcs6DxcncE9qGxt

Which isn't a valid BTC address..

EDIT2 : I found the pattern and other thingies, and know how CMD works, but what is the exact line I need to put in?

mp6kXv1sV3GmYuuaynfRcs6DxcncE9qGxt is a TestNet address - are you connected to vanitypooltest.appspot.com (our test website), or vanitypool.appspot.com (our main website)?

You'll need to master the command-line flags.

Code:
oclvanitygen -help (to use OpenCL)
or
vanitygen -help
will display the flags for each, you just need to fill them out, something like:

Code:
oclvanitgen -d 0:0 -k -o found.txt -P 5ENTIRE160PRIVATEKEYPART...HERE 1Pattern1 1Pattern2 1Pattern3 . . . 

Put the patterns last. Tricks of the trade:

1. Put the command line in a .bat file, as it beats trying to type or paste in the split key

2. Search for as many patterns as you can at a time, in the case of pool mining, that means all of the patterns using the same private key part. it vastly improves the odds of finding any of them.

You can also list patterns in a file, but you'll see that in the help screen.

If and when it finds a pattern (in this case writing it to found.txt), you can manually submit it to the pool to claim the bounty. Instructions for that are on the site.

Also, if oclvanitygen makes your computer so incredibly sluggish that you can't even kill the program, you can let it run, but when you need to use it, click in the cmd window and hit your Pause/Break key, press Enter to resume.


Good luck Smiley

Ah thanks! I must be an idiot but I can't get it to work, oh well. I only get about 65 keys/s anyhows.

Just a note for the future - the FAQ has been updated - https://vanitypool.appspot.com/faq . Two new rules - we will reimburse the first person to report an error on the website that prevents them from submitting their work if they contact us with a proper solution, and a proper solution is base16, not WIF. Later I will add WIF support, but that's not until the next big update.

Many thanks, the gobittest.appspot.com calculators are working again & congrats on solving another 9 chars after the 1 van addie:

Many thanks TP!

Okay, it appears to be working (at least at the moment). I am not sure what caused it, but removing some unnecessary logs appears to have helped.

Oh sorry.. I had read fizzisist's "hammering" comments as though they were yours.

I'd like to check up on https://vanitypool.appspot.com/getWork as frequently as is tolerable, seeing as less complex requests will come and go much quicker than the eternal paradoxes which presently dominate the leaderboard. Is 30 seconds cool with you?

Also I might suggest running a secondary pool for case-insensitive searches, which is only a matter of the -i switch on oclvanityminer, and probably a simple quantity to correct pricing for (as opposed to regex work). This could be of greater interest to those looking for firstbits addresses.

That frequency is okay.

I will have to look into allowing for case-insensitivity with the next big update, I have a few features planned already, but am busy working on other things at the moment.

Sorry if I hammered your logs for a bit there, is 4 minutes acceptable for get work requests?

I'm putting final touches on a simple WSH script to pick the most profitable request out of the most possible requests, and manage vanitygen based on that. Next I'll add automatic submittal, though I suppose it'll be hard to test.

If anyone's interested in it, I'm fairly interested in donations Wink

Well, if you need to test your scripts, there is always https://vanitypooltest.appspot.com/ , running the same code, just on TestNet. Feel free to abuse that as needed.

And what do you mean by "is 4 minutes acceptable for get work requests"? Asking for new work every 4 minutes? Sending a response within 4 minutes? Something else? At any rate, yes, yes, and you'd need to elaborate.

In the mean time, I can see that

https://www.bitaddress.org

have added support for both addition and multiplication, so you can give them a bash.

hi, when I check the solution - including old ones that I know are correct, on https://gobittest.appspot.com/VanityMult & sum site I have been getting an error message for the last 12 hrs plus:

Error: Server Error
The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.

If the problem persists, please report your problem and mention this error message and the query that caused it.

... any help welcomed pse, ty!

I'm getting this error message again & it's beyond me to even know how to report it correctly when I go to the report page, I'd very much appreciate if someone could do this for me & all who wish to be able to continue to use it, many thanks indeed to whoever solved a bunch of mine today after a long hiatus, including a lovely 9 chars after the 1 of 1AUSTRALiA that's been there from near the start of this for a very well deserved 0.9 btc bounty.

Hmm, this is very strange - the admin logs aren't more helpful:

A problem was encountered with the process that handled this request, causing it to exit. This is likely to cause a new process to be used for the next request to your application. (Error code 204)

I will be looking into that today.
