Uh... I'm not exactly sure what happened here. It seems I found a key, but there was a db error or something.

http://pastebin.com/K4zZvXz6

I checked that private key and it wasn't 1room77. What the hell happened?

You answered to yourselves - the private key does not map to 1room77 address pattern => error with GPU computing, it happens from time to time. If you dont have big Rejected ratio when you mine bitcoins at a pool, you dont need to worry

Hmm, lets see...

Did you enter the private key as base58 string, or hex string? The pool only accepts the latter. The newer version of the vanity miner should be displaying the correct string to copy.

Did you multiply/add the private key to the public key before checking what it maps to? http://gobittest.appspot.com/

It might be an error on my part, although that error didn't appear to trigger any logs, I will have to look into that issue, as someone else has already mentioned something similar. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I'm using the miner with this pool, its technically mining for every vanity address at once correct?

Yep, just tried out the client for the first time and I see "Value: 0.000022 BTC/MkeyHr," and it picked that over all the other work. What's with the "Hr?"

BTC (per) Mkey (per) Hour

So...
Say you generate 60Mkey/s...

If the BTC/MkeyHr was 0.005, then you'd make (theoretically, its based on luck) 0.005BTC * 60 every hour.

That would just be BTC/hr, and it would be based on your key generation rate. A more sensible value to quote would be just BTC/Mkey. I get the feeling that this is in fact what is shown in the SW, although I haven't looked closely at it yet. On the other hand, there is no reason it couldn't just show BTC/hr in the SW since it knows your keyrate. (Aside: is that the correct term here? Did I just coin that?

)

Anyway, it would be really cool if the current expected BTC/Mkey was shown in big letters at the top of the pool page. Even better, make that available through an API, so a clever mining software could decide at any given time which task would be more profitable, mining bitcoins or mining addresses. It would be a simple calculation knowing your hardware and the current bitcoin difficulty.

You're mining for all the keys that share the public key connected with the biggest total reward/difficulty ratio sum, or so I heard. Generally, you're maximizing your profits with the oclvanityminer.

Isn't what counts the sum total of bounties that are offered by any one public key, it would be worth trying for a low probability say 9 digit after the 1 vanity if there were sufficient potential reward by the same PUB in 8's to 6's?

Oh yeah, this makes it even more complicated. It's an interesting puzzle...

Each pattern has a sort of difficulty, right? It would make sense to show this on the work list, and sort the list by reward/difficulty. This would make the marketplace more efficient, I think.

Or is this how work is decided on by the client already?

How is work priced? Is it whatever the submitter feels like paying?

At the moment, yes, with a minimum of 0.1BTC. I am looking into making more sensible prices for higher-end addresses.

This sounds like a good use of GPU hashing power now that difficulty is growing ever higher.

People don't really make it profitable for the work do they? No reason to do any on the list, unless your relying on pure luck to get the payout.. which in that case I'd just go solo mining for bitcoins.

Wow, someone really decided to use the Pool. About 20 Bitcoins worth of bounties are now available in the pool!

All these bounties have exposed a few bugs in oclvanityminer. There were a handful of issues with the bounty list parser, and those have been fixed in git. Another issue that also came up, the solve URL for vanity pool doesn't appear to accept POST requests. It sends me back an error when I post something. I changed oclvanityminer to use GET instead of POST for submitting solutions, and it seems to work. I will post new binaries soon.

Edit: Pick up vanitygen 0.22
