I am interested in a patch for oclvanitygen that would enable simultaneous search for compressed and uncompressed keys.
Is this solution above applicable (if so, which file should be changed) or could anybody post the necessary code changes to enable this? Thanks a lot

Hello, if vanitygen searches for both; compressed and uncompressed keys at once, it should raise the key rate up to 100% because the expensive EC math has to be done once only for each PubKey double, AFAIK. Right?
I was always under the impression that vanitygen wouldn't do a multiplication in the inner loop but only increment the private key and add G to the public key. I'm no longer sure this is true. I hacked your suggestion and I went up from 560kKey/s to 720 kKey/s. Another thing to try is using positive and negative point. Negating a point is trivial for compressed key (xor the 2/3 with 1) and simple enough for uncompressed keys (negate y modulo N).

I put an archive with the linux 64 bit executable at
http://johoe.mooo.com/bitcoin/vanitygen-salfter-0.21-15-g06c095e.tar.gz
It is build from the github repository as:
I didn't build oclvanitygen (AFAIK my intel GPU doesn't support it).
Edit: stripped executable, this changed sha256 sum.

yes
Atleast it still working, right?
i use Windows
but i have a bootable pendrive with ubuntu

where can i download the executable?
I don't see precompiled packages. I can send you a linux 64 bit executable for Ubuntu, if you trust me that I didn't include any backdoor.
If you have linux it is not so difficult to compile yourself. You need the usual C development packages and the library packages libpcre3-dev and libssl-dev.
I just browsed around and there are many different forks of vanitygen and at least two different implementations for compressed keys.
where can i download the executable?
There is no executable. This works on linux. You have to compile it.
where can i download the executable?
my version dont suport the compressed format
Mine neither.Did we miss something when compiling?
I just checked. I use the version from Scott Alfter:
https://github.com/salfter/vanitygen
This is his commit that added compressed keys:

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean you want the private key to be in another format?
yes. in pubkey compress formatstart with K or L
At least the version of vanitygen that I downloaded has a switch for this:
Code:
vanitygen -F compressed -i 1johoe
Address: 1JoHoeEj6hFtxr22xahQUTxzj55hE1BZug
Privkey: L1vN2kji2HkFQmju7oYnrNXzZ8R9mejfWqcj8k3x6BVRb2cf2RK4
Address: 1JoHoeEj6hFtxr22xahQUTxzj55hE1BZug
Privkey: L1vN2kji2HkFQmju7oYnrNXzZ8R9mejfWqcj8k3x6BVRb2cf2RK4
Note that compressing the key afterwards does not work, as it changes the address.
Not sure what you mean. Do you mean you want the private key to be in another format?
yes. in pubkey compress formatstart with K or L
Oh, that's easy.
Just take the output from vanitygen and go to wallet details at bitaddress.org.
Code:
satoshi@nakamoto ~/applications/vanitygen-master $ ./vanitygen -i 1fabio

For security purpose you can even download the page and check the integrity on an clean (cd-rom boot) machine and run the page.
There you can fill in the private key and see the compressed keys.
WIF compressed:

for this example.
May I ask where you want to use the address?

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

the vanitygen project is abandoned?
