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

Posting to save for later use.

If there is a work and isn't hard, atleast less than 8-9 chars, you could get the reward. I am only getting ~220 Kkeys/s which way too slower than yours and I can generate vanity addresses with 6-7 chars within a few hours. The difficulty also depends on the characters, something like 1sorryfor won't be a hard one.

It should tell you, actually - but I can tell you off the top of my head that the answer will most likely be "yes" ranging from months to years, on average.  You could get a hit before I hit 'Post', though.  Just not very likely

Another question. The time it takes to actually find a key, is it substantial? Im going at about 15 Mkey/s. Is that enough to get something out of the pool?

Unfortunately not without doing so manually.  The client by default selects the one that is the highest payment for the lowest difficulty (highest 'lavishness').  That said, you could probably automate it using any number of tools.  Earlier in the thread somebody mentioned using a PHP script, but I could easily see it being done using e.g. AutoHotKey as well.  That said, the Catch 22 continues, so only put in as much work as you're willing to waste

This idea would be very promising. I have been mining a few of my own and have had no issues with 4 word searches which only take about 10 minutes but for some of these it just seems exhausting. Is there any way to specify what get work I solve?
