So I have my payment address ready with the minimum fee of 0.01. However, I wish to pay more than that, but with a requirement. I wish to make multiple payments into the wallet, but I'm not sure if that is possible. Would I be able to do this?
I just requested a 7 char after the initial 1 vanity address & from the time of sending the fee to receiving the (multiplication) solution was just 12 minutes, amazing! Many thanks.
requested 10.39 am
fee sent 10.42 am
solution received 10.54 am

I'm sorry about that. Send me your address and I will pay you for that solution.
Thank you, ThePiachu! I am satisfied with the resolution. [ThePiachu paid 2.5 x the value of one solution.]I expect to try some work on other (harder) vanity addresses.
I'm sorry about that. Send me your address and I will pay you for that solution.
The server has been updated ... and has finished updating / reindexing / synching.
I am still getting the message "Problem sending payment. Please try again later" when I attempt to upload a solution.Has anyone had any success in the last 4 days?
I've sent you five PM's over the last for 4 days. And I've gotten five very prompt responses, which I appreciate.
But I guess you didn't actually investigate the problem until I posted on the Forum, today. 
The solution that appears on your "solved work" page resolves to a vanity address of: 1FreedomXf1bkjBHtpWVBqvyTkXXXXXXXX
But *my* solution, which I attempted to submit 4 days ago has a vanity address of: 1FreedomWhKGsz6GBJxSQHdFpCXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, my computer wastes its time computing another: 1FreedomdZ9WCyf7sEvkagr6MHXXXXXXXX
So, I guess your server has been wonked for at least 4 days. Which caused me and my server to waste our time. Are other "available work" addresses also wonked? You seem to have a good reputation on this Forum, but my first experience with your vanity server and your "little glitch" has been a lot of trouble for no pay.
If I choose to work on any other solutions, how can I have any confidence I will be paid for my solutions?

Hmm, it appears that it was a small glitch in my pool that thought the payment was already sent. I sent some extra money to that address so it should be claimable once everything confirms (the bounty should update when that happens).

The server has been updated to the newest version of BitcoinQT and has finished updating / reindexing / synching. If anyone has experienced any problems with the pool, everything should be fine now.
k thankyou
good thankyou now my other question im mining with the 5970 and is there a way I can specify to use both gpus to solve because
I have 2 .bats running 1 for each gpu on the 5970 each one is like 24mkeys/s
id like to have both gpus mining together and get like 48 mkeys/s
I have 2 .bats running 1 for each gpu on the 5970 each one is like 24mkeys/s
id like to have both gpus mining together and get like 48 mkeys/s
You should ask samr7 about it, as he is the person behind vanity miner. I am just running the pool, so I don't know that program.

got a question in the pool does only the one that solves it get paid the reward
or is it a pool where a bunch of people solve it together like with bitcoin
reason I also was wondering I have a rig with my 5970s and I had to create a . bat for each gpu on it I was wondering can you mine with all gpus with 1 .bat
or is it a pool where a bunch of people solve it together like with bitcoin

The pool does not count shares, only the person that produces the solution receives the reward.

Yep, mystery to me too, I thought it may have been something I did wrong when I tried a week or two ago but retrying now it still fails & other van gens of mine just solved work fine doing exactly the same normal calc & import process, anyway maybe best to warn ppl not to send much to newly generated van addies until they are sure that the private keys are wallet importable.
I checked both the van generated ones & they're negative so within the range & I know that my original one is also as I've used it on dozens of successful van gens & also just imported it to my wallet now with np.
Well, then I am currently puzzled as to why it doesn't work. It should be importable, as it is just a number really.
How is this? The pool gives a mining ratio that is supposed to represent how many more times profitable it is to mine vanity addresses than bitcoins, and it's currently 2.78. I can see how the variability of this would be higher than a PPS or geometric method pool, but over long periods it should still pay better, right?
That ratio is a bit idealised and assumes you are mining all the addresses at the same time (additive rather than multiplicative address generation). From what I understand, samr7's miner just uses a few of the most profitable addresses and that's it.
From how I understand it, you can easily mine several addresses at once, think merged mining, when the "task" was created from the same private key.
If I ask for 10 vanity addresses, and create those 10 tasks so that they all are made from the same seed, someone can work at all 10 at once.
If 10 people each want one address they surely won't create the tasks from the same seed/key. So a vanity miner will have to mine an hour for the first guy, then an hour for the next, and can only find an address/solution for the current task.
That 2.78 assumes that you mine at *all* tasks available at once, which is unrealistic at least, and suggestive/dishonest at worst.
So, currently, I think, there are several miner out there which check periodically on the available work. Once a task or combination of tasks appear which is more profitable than regular mining, they point their miners there. Which means a lot of the current tasks may stay there waiting for a long time..
Lets see if a marketrate with more realistic prices establishes!
Ente
Prices are just what people are willing to pay for the vanity address, so is as realistic as it gets, by definition. The only problem is that bitcoin mining is more valuable right now. That is bound to change when more ASICs hit.
As for the "ratio" calculation, it's certainly misleading. I prefer my calculations on http://fizzisist.com/mining-value/. These should correspond to exactly what you see in vanitygen.
I checked both the van generated ones & they're negative so within the range & I know that my original one is also as I've used it on dozens of successful van gens & also just imported it to my wallet now with np.
Well, to check whether your private key is bigger than the number, simply substract that number from it.
For example, if your private key was
E343AF66D9394E3FFE3ED63C263A17F737917CAA35636B9FCA919A113368AB7F
You would calculate
0xE343AF66D9394E3FFE3ED63C263A17F737917CAA35636B9FCA919A113368AB7F-0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141
or just use Wolfram:

If the number is negative, means that your private key is in the range.
Check both your original private key and the derived one to see if they are okay.

I don't know how to tell if they within that range, one starts with D217... & the other with C61F... I used the same pri/pub key for all my requests, also I don't know how to modulo the number but can try if you point me to where, thanks for looking in to this, luckily I'd only sent a token amount to each address in order to get the FirstBits address - which incidentally seems to be down the last few days.
Edit: I guess that they are within the correct range as they start with a letter before F in the alphabet. There're both 62 chars long.

Hmm, strange. I guess there is no option but for me to refund you. As you probably used the same private/public key to request for that address as the others, then you shouldn't reveal it to protect your other purchases.
Then again, a private key is just a number between 1 and
FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFE BAAEDCE6 AF48A03B BFD25E8C D0364141
Is your key bigger than the latter number? If so, try doing modulo that number and see if the result would work.
