About how long would it take the Vanitygen pool to find 1ZeusLight ?

Arulbero asks for an interesting question. Compress and uncompressed Krys are allowed ?

A couple of question about https://vanitypool.appspot.com/

1) How can I know if I have to use compressed or uncompressed keys for the search? For example, in this case:

https://vanitypool.appspot.com/availableWork   -->  "11111111"
public key: 04C13D9CF2B0E382A4AF29C5E2B97F85C6DD9445F7DCE82CD7207E6FC4716511981B0012C10B39EF1 52257A8407A2965F92F075379D311D5786D9421795B82D01C

can I use only compressed keys?

I found this public key:

Code:
a15f585a9d39a8a091962d11af1e96320fc3543b5201a8c9b12eedf695bad359 3b6621eddf4207bd186c8293c6b497555594b32d2eb9c09ae8f81791a0dfde48

if I add it with the public key
Code:
C13D9CF2B0E382A4AF29C5E2B97F85C6DD9445F7DCE82CD7207E6FC471651198 1B0012C10B39EF152257A8407A2965F92F075379D311D5786D9421795B82D01C

I get this public key

Code:
83f0e53639fbcead931a0d19eb3f3f6684dc75fac68a8c5dbc21cdb8b4ecfb19 d933c437e192b2b6dd27a6b9d09e6470ca220ed27d4bcb05251b1d0e47adad90

in compressed format

Code:
0283f0e53639fbcead931a0d19eb3f3f6684dc75fac68a8c5dbc21cdb8b4ecfb19

that gives this address (only 7 '1'):

Code:
11111113ix5Nw6kgetPaMBCWBdp5TTfX

My question is: if I found a match with the pattern "11111111", would it be valid? Or do I have to use only uncompressed keys?

I don't want to waste time with a fruitless quest.

Hey
I have a problem with the address vanitypool.appspot.com but when I try to report "Internal error, please try again later" Sad

How to choose what pattern to generate?
I don't have a very good GPU and with the autochosen pattern it says 50% in 25 years,
i guess what i want to say is how to choose the one with the lowest difficult?

No version info available is just a warning; as you can see, it does searches for the hash regardless.

The miner only searches for the one pattern displayed (it choses the one it thinks being most profitable based on reward divided by difficulty).

You can use as many computers with the same credit address as you want; if one of them finds a solution it will submit it with that address. The computations are done "offline" with no shares sent to the upstream server, so it doesn't really knows how many miners are there until one of them finds a solution. (Well, technically they still request a list of available bounties from the server every once in a while, but it gives no indication to the pool of the speed and capacity of each client).

Thanks for these informations.

I have some questions

I 'm getting this:

Code:
./oclvanityminer: /usr/local/cuda-8.0/targets/x86_64-linux/lib/libOpenCL.so.1: no version information available (required by ./oclvanityminer)
Searching for pattern: "1BETBTCcom" Reward: 0.200000 Value: 0.000000 BTC/Gkey
Difficulty: 2938077882634386
Total value for current work: 0.000000 BTC/Gkey
[22.68 Mkey/s][total 48909778944][Prob 0.0%][50% in 2.8y]

- Is "no version information available" is just a warning or a serious error?
- Does the miner search only for the displayed pattern (ie 1BETBTCcom) or a pattern set?
- Can we use several miners (different computers) with the same credit address?

Is there a functioning split-key vanity pool. There were two before but I can't seem to find the other legitimate one.

For the record, the pool in the first message of the topic is still alive and paying out rewards. I've successfully found a solution recently and got the reward, so feel free to post vanity requests. Smiley

t looks like someone is hammering my vanitypool-value API every 30 seconds with a Ruby script. The API is cached for 5 minutes, so you aren't actually gaining anything from pinging it so often. Would you please reduce the frequency to closer to 5 minutes?

The IP address of the requests starts is 82.

Thanks!

Yeah, most of the requests that are currently in the pool have been there for quite some time and are very difficult. The rewards start to seem a little bit better now with the increased BTC price then what they were when first requested, but even then most of them are too difficult to be worth pursuing with the current rewards.

Yeah.  I've also noticed some characters are much, much harder by orders of magnitude to find than others; for instance prefix 1Satoshi ..., of course the 1's are much harder, and others with what looks like a comparable prefix i.e. 1 CAP (6x LC) are either harder or easier.  Not sure if I understand why.

Would anyone like to put small bounties on addresses such as:

1Bitcoin
1LoLcat
1LoLcats
1Miner
1BtcMinr
1[up to 7 valid chars]

?

With the increased price of bitcoin and the fees on the network, it doesn't seem as many people are interested in vanity addresses. There are still some in the pool but the reward to challenge ratio doesn't make them that appealing.

So that's why the reward is only just above 1.5 BTC for the prefix "qwertyuio"?  Would have expected at least  0.5 BTC for prefixes of length >= 6 with difficulties well over 10,000,000,000.

Are vanity addresses still a thing?  Could I make a few Satoshi generating addresses?  There are not many good bounties there and the amounts are a little low for the compute to try and find them.

Doesn't seem worth it, although if you already have the equipment...

I just generated 1hack...

Takes about a month for me to get to probability ~50% for generating interesting addresses like 1bitcoin[...] and 1satoshi[...]


You need to use OCLvanitygen and use a decent GPU to get better speeds if you are not already.

I figured that might be the case.  I'm getting a not so great 12Mkey/sec.
