Look at all those extensions!
When I launch the file, it launches the command prompt but then immediately shuts it down again. What can I do to access it?
if you are using windows, shift+right click the folder containing vanitygen executables. when the window opens already at that directory path, you can then paste (via the square top left of window) a string like:
Code:
oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -i -k -o found.txt 1tri11ium
Also open a command prompt instead of double clicking the exe file before following the above directions.
If you shift+right click a windows folder and select "Open command prompt here" it sets the current directory in the cmd window that opens automatically to that folder. You do not need to click any exe files etc.

hi,
i've got these errors when compiling :
winglue.h :
Someone knows how can I fix it ?

the problem with that vanity mining pool is it only mines the single most profitable vanity. The vanity miner program has the capability of mining multiple different prefixes all at the same time, which I've done in the past. After all, it's just generating random keys in an attempt to get a matching result. No reason it can't compare that result to more than one desired prefix.
Agreed, I used to search for 30+ prefixes at a time

It's a shame that the demand for results from this service is so low. That means its almost entirely unprofitable for anyone with GPU to try and solve for these patterns. In fact, you are just throwing away money.
Currently the best work is: "Searching for pattern: "1Thanks1" Reward: 0.010400 Value: 0.000001 BTC/MkeyHr"
$842 (bitcoinaverage price) * 0.010400 = $8.75 USD
Time to reach 50% probability on a overclocked Radeon 6870: 17.2 days
Power consumption: measured 120w AC:
0.12 kW * 0.30 $/kWh * 24 hours * 17.2 days = $14.86
Or, I could mine dogecoin (presently #1 scrypt coin) for 17.2 days and earn a profit (after electricity taken into account) of $50.40... and get paid with 100% assurance.
I agree that it's a shame the vanity pool allows such low reward values.
It would also seem useless to mine just vanity addresses for rewards on paid power or with a full GPU. For those with cheap power though it seems like a huge waste IE throwing away money to take a single or dual core CPU and a powerfull GPU and just mine scrypt coins. There are some cycles left over on the GPU and the CPU's are generally just about idle.
I tryed to run with:
Code:
oclvanityminer -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a BTC_ADDRESS_HERE
I have Windows 7 ultimate. I have no GPU so i use CPU. It returns when i try to run:Code:

shouldn't you run vanitygen or vanitygen64 if you don't have a gpu?
anyways you want
Code:
oclvanityminer -D0:0 -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a BTC_ADDRESS_HERE
then run a second thread with
Code:
oclvanityminer -D0:1 -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a BTC_ADDRESS_HERE

This is totally beyond me!
Like you time traveled into the past?
This is totally beyond me!
Thanks now it's working now I only have to wait for some work what I can do.

When i try to start the miner it only say the "avalibe openCL devices" and exit. Why and how can I fix it?
Perhaps you might share what Operating System, what command you typed and any other details at all?
You need to install openCL drivers, video card drivers on win and AMDAPP on lin.

Also having the GPU hash/CPU hash error. I'm running Catalyst 13.11 and downgrading is not an option for me. Also AMD APP SDK v2.9, willing to downgrade this if this is the issue.
Having this error as well, and also downgrading is not an option.
Anyone have any solution for this?
"downgrading is not an option"...heh
Wow, I'm ashamed. I use this tool all the time. I didn't even think about that. I would be one of those people leeching off of his fantastic work, and telling him he needs to update the tool.
Will be donating very soon.
Edit: deepceleron, what is his donation address. :s
Found the address. It was sneakily hidden in a code box.
For everyone else that wishes to donate his address is: 1samr7UZxtC6MEAFHqr1h3Kq453xJJbe4

Is there a windows build for this? All I see so far from reading through the thread is Linux.
I use it in windows
Yes there is it's in the op
