using the part private key


Non of which are case sensitive - as with previously listed, donations appreciated (click on BTC in signature below)

Any option to have the results non case sensitive?  Might give people more incentive to find for others.

I have the luxury of having two graphics cards, (in theory both are identical, however, one throws out ~ 21Mkeys/s the other ~ 27MKeys/s)  The 20Mk/s I use to search for about 200 wallet types varying from 1n^7 through 1n^12/13 somewhere in that range.  It doesn't have the -i switch .

The other card I'm using to find other Alt keys for as well as trying part private mining.

I was off air for about two months when I couldn't get the Delta error / driver V 10 issue sorted, however your patch and updating to the latest drivers has fixed it (and somehow the overheating of one card has sorted itself, but still throws out ~ 5Mk/s faster than the other card.

Hey everyone!

So Vanity Pool has been a bit broken for the last two months - Blockchain.info decided to make their web API require some client installation, but since my site runs on Google App Engine, I was no longer able to use it.

Since then I updated the backend code and switched over to using Block Cypher's API instead. I finished updating the code today and now the whole site should be up and running properly.

Sorry for any inconvenience you might've experienced.

24/7 for what purpose? To find some nice vanities?

I think you can only solve addresses for 1 public key at a time so wouldn't be able to do both at same time.

I run a vanity machine 24/7 anyway, but I don't try to solve any of these because I know of no simple way to do it along side my own work.

Actually, looking back at the fee chart, it shows the minimum for the long patterns as being much higher than some of the unsolved work. Perhaps some of those were created before the fee structure was created?

It might be nice to have the option of people requesting case insensitive solutions which can be solved quicker, but I'm not sure how much demand there would be for that.

The rewards for most of the unsolved work makes it not worth solving most of those due to the amount of processing power/time it would take to solve them. Perhaps the minimum fee should be raised for some of the more complex patterns.

Similarly at 20Mkeys/sec,

Mining is unrealistic at this time and so are the payouts.  If people wanted non-fixed text solutions, then there'd be a real market.

Comes up with

• It took not quite four days at 21Mkeys/s to find that solution using the -i toggle
• No where on the page does it stipulate an exact match (nit picking I know, but still...)
• to find a solution at 21Mkeys/sec will take a *minimum* 1.6 years for a 50% chance to find a solution for

• BTC 0.08 finder's fee for 1.6 years worth of work is just not enough incentive I'm afraid to say...

does this still work? I get the error:
An error has occurred...

Error communicating with Blockchain, please try again later

something I have thought about doing for a long time.  Nice work.

You are free to mine whatever one you choose to be honest.

Go to the avaiable work link on the site and click on one that you would like to solve.

You will then need the public key and the requested pattern

For an example I chose 1ThePiachu from the list.


Above would be the code for my particular setup. The most important part is -P which is the public key and then followed by the pattern

The you post the results to the site once solved.

I've tried mining. When I try to connect to the pool, it gives me the hardest possible address to mine. Ugh. Why cant it give me the cheap ones that take only a few days?

I've generated a few addresses for myself though, they are pretty nice. I only wish that Coinbase allows you to transfer privkeys. They removed that section. (Sorry for off-topic)

I am having trouble submitting work via https://vanitypool.appspot.com/newWork

I login and submit my work as:
Public Key: 0405a3da992d317ad9455628013bd964bbc7430d59ba4523be951123a815bde61ea3a9210f6fdc1 bd082636e57a54b81ef4011c14d7be48192ed3dcdf4643ced44

Desired Search Pattern:
1BTCRing

And it gives the following error:
"Error communicating with Blockchain, please try again later"

What am I doing wrong?

Also, what is the "honest fee" for this work? Does the "1" at the beginning count in the pattern length?

Pool is still live, and I believe recently paid out to somebody.

The reason you're not seeing any work is because it appears you're hitting the wrong server. try:
Fires right up here, looking for 1BETBTCcom

As for manually doing it, check out the FAQ at the pool site.
Also of interest might be this post about using autoit to semi-automate this using vanitygen (and not vanityminer): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11084323

oclvanityminer(64) is the recommended road to go down though.

Is this pool still live? do we still get rewards if we found any match from available work?
because i tried using these settings : http://prntscr.com/8q41ek (i know that i used the default btc address, just for test)
but i get no available work message, can i try manually using vanitygen or what settings do i need ?
Thanks

It's not really possible without more sophisticates smart contracts (Ethereum-grade), since you can't really do p2sh to an address you don't fully know as far as I understand.


I'll double-check the problem later today / tomorrow. Currently a bit busy.

did you submit the keys to the pool?

Had a bit of a shower thought the other day about a fully decentralised vanity address request/redemption scheme. Basically, people could post their vanity address requests to the blockchain, by sending to a p2sh address, that somehow (begin handwaving) also encodes the requesters public key, and the desired address pattern. (/handwave)

The redeemer / finder of a vanity address would both publish their findings to the blockchain and claim the reward by providing a script + input that (begin handwaving) checks that the supplied private key yields a public key which, when combined with the requesters pubkey, compressed and base58 check encoded, results in an address matching the requesters address pattern. The script could also have a backdoor setup by the requester that allows them to reclaim funds, in case nobody is able to mine the vanity address after a sufficient amount of time. (/handwave)

Of course, there's a whole swathe of problems that prevent this from ever coming to fruition:

* the script is far too complex to ever encode using bitcoin's script primitives
* if it could be scripted, miners would most likely not bother with them, unless a hefty fee is levied
* the requester would need to broadcast the redemption script off the chain, so it's not really completely decentralised...

Might make for an interesting side chain project I guess
