Topic: Vanity Pool - vanity address generator pool - page 3. (Read 147800 times)

good to hear it's still running
I suggest on the available work page, make it sortable by reward or lavishness
and solved work page should also display solved date info and sortable by solved date and pattern

The Pool should still be running, although sometimes we seem to get some API errors from the wallet API provider we're using.

is this pool actually still working? you might want to confirm it first before wasting resources
eventhough OP's last active in march 2018, his last post was in 2016 and rarely post
if you guys into this kind of work might as well just open a thread in Marketplace > Services

ThePiachu and answer please on this
my next question is, Are all addresses which exist at this moment on your pool is uncompressed?

Hi dear dev, ThePiachu, I have some questions, answer on it please.
I'm using
C:\Vanitygen PLUS v1.53>oclvanityminer.exe -p 0 -d 0 -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a 157cehkJ1sVkpiTHSjD69CkbvZCYjxbkL1
Searching for pattern: "1BETBTCcom" Reward: 0.200000 Value: 0.000068 BTC/Mkey
Difficulty: 2938077882634386
1)Why it is searching only for 1 address and why 1BETBTCcom?
2)Can it search several addresses at the same time?
3)Or can I maually choose which addresses it must search at the same time?

Need a option on there for public keys that are like
1Joe1Katz1
I have 1Joe1Katz from the vanity pool with the public key 04536B7B0FB183B193084AE76097508CEC6A98625577E1CC6B01CCAA82EE7BB4BEF509043A0AD24 0E1F3EDF6ECE11554ED50E6851171A7D78E478DA27ACF010E36

Since the key lengths over 8 chars like 1Joe1Katz1 you should be able to create alternate smaller ones with Case options

You will be generating a half of the private and public key. You will then be sending your part of the public key.

They will use your part of public key to combine with their part of public key to form addresses. When they find the desired sequence when combining your public key and their public key, they will send you their part private key. Combining their part private key and your part private key will generate an address that corresponds to the desired address. It's called split-key generation.

They cannot spend anything without your part private key.

The way I understand it's just a way to outsource the generation of your vanity addresses, essentially you will in the end get the pair of private and public keys while not exposing the private key to those who helped you in generating it

so if i'm correct
you can create addresses and not know the private keys

but then you have a key pair that does what exactly ?
regenerate it ?

Could anyone point me out to some relatively simple server script for such pool?

Many thanks in advance!

VipCoin Dapp is split-key based: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annicoairdropvip-vipcoin-buy-or-mine-vanity-bitcoinethereum-address-2445776

Yesterday launched Ethereum Dapp similar to VanityPool: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annicoairdropvip-vipcoin-buy-or-mine-vanity-bitcoinethereum-address-2445776

You can buy vanity address or earn on address mining over Ethereum Smart Contract without any middleware.

This is pretty cool but I can't make sense of the fee structure. Does it need updating?
I'd like to get a 10-character vanity address (including the initial '1'), starting 1BL....
That would take around a year to GPU mine on my laptop, which would obviously be impractical, but it's not an insane level of difficulty for a decent GPU. The quoted honest fee is 27,862 BTC, which I don't have.
What's the story here?

No, it is a technological limitation. Look at my post in this thread a few messages ago about a possible scheme for mining on multiple public keys (originally invented by ArcCsch). However, this would not be simple, it would require new pool software as well and is a pretty invasive change.

Is there a fork or another program that can do work on more than one pubkey at the same time?

You can only mine with one public key at a time, so this doesn't make much sense. You can mine multiple addresses that all use the same public key, but not multiple addresses each with different pubkeys.

Is there a method of writing the -f document in vanitygen that will allow multiple split pair jobs at once?

The -P flag is where you place the pubkey for someone looking for a job done securely for them.


The -f flag allows a file with one job per line, but from what I can find it only allows direct searches, not split pair searches.

work.txt


Is there a way to place the public keys a document file?

pubwork.txt

Something I have thought about doing for a long time.  Subscribe.

I'm not much of a business person either. But I would imagine some type of stock issuance would be a start !)

I've been thinking about this for a bit, and mainly about the possibility of merge-mining many addresses at once, to massively increase efficiency. This is what I've come up with:

1. Everybody who wants an address generates an ECDSA keypair, a Personal Pair
2. Everybody gives their public keys to the pool, which combines them into the Combined Public Key
3. The pool distributes the Combined Public Key to miners. The miners generate random keypairs until they find the right address when combined with the Combined Public Key, the same way it's done with split mining.
4. The randomly generated private key is given to the person who requested the address
5. Everybody but the person who requested the address gives their private key to the person who requested it.
6. The person who requested the key can spend funds by combining the pool's random private key, everybody else's private key, and his own private key.
7. Everybody else generates new keypairs and mining starts again, return to step 1

There are issues (for example, what if somebody chooses not to give up their private key after someone else's address is found?), but perhaps it is possible to work around them. This could make a big difference for mining speed, and I'm sure it is worth the downsides.

EDIT: I'm not the first to come up with this, apparently. See https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merge-mining-vanity-addresses-1715787 by user ArcCsch. When I am done with my current project, I may begin work on a merged-mining pool, and looking into cool aspects of this, for example the most optimised way to split up into smaller merged pools to minimize risk while still keeping profits higher than with "solo" mining.
