I have a question about this program.

If I set this up to run on a offline system and generate addresses, Can i send coin to the new address or do I have to load the private key to a wallet and since it before it will work. So can I keep these keys offline until I want to drain the address?

Correct, if you generate the private key, you can send funds at any time to the public address. you only need to import the private key when you wish to spend the funds.

For those of you experiencing the hashes not matching issue, what solved the problem for me was to delete the OpenCL files for that newer version of Catalyst and to install an old copy of the 2.7 AMD APP SDK.
Here's the list of files I deleted:

C:\Windows\System32\amdocl64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\OpenCL.dll
C:\Windows\System32\OpenVideo64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\OVDecode64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\SlotMaximizerAg.dll
C:\Windows\System32\SlotMaximizerBe.dll

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdocl.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenCL.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenVideo.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OVDecode.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SlotMaximizerAg.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SlotMaximizerBe.dll

The 2.7 SDK I installed was the 32 bit version (I'm running 64-bit Windows 8 but my oclvanitygen is 32-bit). I'm guessing you only need to delete the files in the architecture of the vanitygen you are running.

For those who cant able to still run oclvanitygen, getting found delta, start delta.....
Just use driver uninstaller, i used this DDU from http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html.
unzip it in a folder in desktop, restart system in safe mode, run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe, select AMD-> Clean and restart.
It will remove all amd drivers & restart system.
Now just install 12.10 driver & everything works fine.

Because the software has not been largely updated since it was written, which is when opencl 1.0 was just transitioning to 1.1.

OpenCL apps have not yet become generic, they almost have to target a particular card and driver, since driver updates keep breaking things.

Here is an interesting topic - below are the only ATI HDXXXX GPUs that support double-precision math. It would be interesting to see if the computing problem on new drivers varies based on this card list:

HD 5830 HD 5850 HD 5870 HD 5970

HD 6930 HD 6950 HD 6970 HD 6990

HD 7730 HD 7750 HD 7770 HD 7790 HD 7850
HD 7870 HD 7950 HD 7970 HD 7990

I have a 5770, and vanitygen works fine (and first worked correctly) using Driver 11.11, which includes the SDK 2.5 runtime. It doesn't work on any later drivers. One conspiracy theory could be that other OpenCL computing features were disabled on single-precision cards in later drivers.

Here is a list of each first driver version that included a new SDK. You must also be aware that the ATI uninstaller does not properly uninstall key OpenCL files. If you want to experiment, you should increment starting with older versions, so you don't have to manually delete left-behind files each time.

AMD APP SDK v2.9    AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 beta (13.20.16)
AMD APP SDK v2.8.1    AMD Catalyst™ 13.6 Beta2 (13.101)
AMD APP SDK v2.8    AMD Catalyst™ 12.10 (9.002)
AMD APP SDK v2.7    AMD Catalyst™ 12.4 (8.961)
AMD APP SDK v2.6    AMD Catalyst™ 11.12 (8.92)
AMD APP SDK v2.5    AMD Catalyst™ 11.7 (8.872)
AMD APP SDK v2.4    ATI Catalyst™ 11.4 Update Driver (8.841)

I had tons of problem on Win 7 64, no matter what I did, but with http://lifeboat.com/oclvanitygen and getting rid of all the files like I quoted from above here, plus installing "AMD Catalyst™ 12.10 (9.002)" with the SDK in it, works like a charm. Getting 25 Mkey/s on my ASUS HD 7950 CU-II. Smiley

Anyone know how to generate addresses with gpu I keep getting hash found bla bla bla list of numbers but no produced bitcoin address

oclvanityminer am using works and woks on gpu however no produce Bitcoin address any idea how to fix.

Well if the previous comments are any indication:

i) You are using incorrect commands. Post your commands you are using?
and/or,
ii) You are using an incompatible driver version. Try using compatible drivers such as 12.8, and use a driver uninstaller when changing to earlier versions.

I don't understand how to run oclvanitygen.

If I type in "oclvanitygen -v -d 0 1a" I keep getting GPU and CPU hashes.

EDIT: nvm I got my address with vanitygen64

You have a bad driver. Read previous pages.

oh one other Q, is it possible to use the generator for altcoin addresses? I assume yes, but in that case I assume one has to modify the source code?
No you don't need to.
This subject has been discussed in this topic. U have to use option "X" with the code of the coin.

Something like this: vanitygen -X 48 -o addys.txt LTCmis
The same for OCLVanitygen...... Be aware to state as first and second letter according with coin specs

For LTC: 48
FTC: 14
NVC: 8
ANC: 23
PTC: 47
CNC: 28
DGC:30
NMC: 52
PPC:55
YAC: 77
BQC: 85
IXC: 138
DOGE: 30

What "x" for ZET?

I have a problem: when i start oclvanitygen with 1something, unless to generate public and private key, vg generate a useless cpu and gpu hash...

How i can resolve?

Can you give the string you're using, and the output from the window?

Code:
oclvanitygen -p 1 -d 0 1something

And output like this:

Code:
Difficulty: 264104224
[22.86 Mkey/s][total 455081984][Prob 82.1%][90% in 6.7s]

GPU hash: 099bccd501a398a56eff31b40b924d8d9b132b72
Found delta: 4131272 Start delta: 1

I've started to experience this as well, I have concluded this problem is related to newer drivers (eg 13.xx). I had this card working great with v 12.8 Radeon drivers, as have many others.

I'm experiencing this as well.

same problem - how do i fix this?

I've got the same issue, is it a driver problem?




For those who cant able to still run oclvanitygen, getting found delta, start delta.....

ATiMan Uninstaller also works really well. It's actually amazing to watch all the things it does.

I figured it out I have to do -p 0 first then -d 0.  The video card is 3.75 times faster then my cpu it seems.

All I get is:

Invalid character 'l' in prefix 'oclvanitygen'
Invalid character '-' in prefix '-p'
Invalid character '-' in prefix '-d'
Invalid character '0' in prefix '0'
Prefix '1something' ignored, overlaps '1'

Okay I think I have it almost figured out now :facepalm: You have to specify -D 0:0 for example. Found the list of commands just by running a .bat with oclvanityge.exe pause, then it lists available commands for the running .bat

Hi everyone, I'm having tons of fun with this, but need some help. With oclvanitygen, i made a .bat and added pause so I can actually read the thing for a moment.

I see it's recognizing my 3 GPUs and CPU just fine okay good. I have a AMD FX-9370 8-core 4.8 Ghz cpu, an R9 280x (another coming tomorrow yay) and two Asus 7870's. So I have plenty of power. In fact my cpu is solving tons of fun addresses with vanitygen64 so I have that all figured out.

What do I add to my .bat file to get it to "work" on say GPU 0, my powerful one? I can't seem to get oclvanitygen mining on anything. And the OP is super vague and missing all this info on what to tell oclvanitygen.

Thanks!

Try different devstrings. The -D option lets you select which computing device to run on.

okay cool so something like "oclvanitygen.exe -d 0 111" oh wait I already tried that, -d 0
