How do I get this (or other versions) to generate other alt-coins? Litecoins begin with L and Bytecoins begin with 8 and Tagcoins begin with T, for example.

Use this page: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes

EXAMPLE:

Code:

oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -i -k -o found664.txt -X 23 Atri11ium

You must then test the address by importing the privkey and then testing it with a (small) quantity of coin.

Here is a question for someone more knowledgeable than I.

I have limited/no internet connection.

I want to try and solve some work from the vanitypool. To start with i found a public key with multiple search patterns on the available work site, saved the patterns in a file on the computer.
I then ran oclvanitygen using -f to search the file with patterns, and -P with the common public key.
The output I got from this I tried to manually insert back into the solved section of the vanity pool site however it said solution doesn't match pattern.

Spoke to ThePiachu and it was suggested it was because i used oclvanitygen not oclvantiyminer.

So my question: is there anyway to do a similar set up with oclvanityminer? As I can't get it to work without requiring a url and an address. But I don’t have internet for that, or can I set up oclvantiygen to correctly get me the privkeypart so I can manually upload them and they be accepted?

I am not sure why using oclvanitygen, with -P as the pubkey and finding the right pattern produced a privkeypart that wasn't accepted.

Should I be concerned that vanitygen is a multi-threaded OpenSSL-based application that doesn't seem to call CRYPTO_set_locking_callback ?

Ah, maybe it gets away with it because the non-threadsafe calls to OpenSSL are inside other locking anyway....

I have added the ability to dump the pub key when using verbose mode:
https://github.com/nicoschtein/vanitygen/tree/dump-pubkey
Check it out for debugging purposes !

May the coin be with you..

If I generate some addresses and send coins to them the balances will still be visible on a site like blockchain.info even if the private keys haven't been imported anywhere yet? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Yup, you thought right.

Also, if I import the private key into a wallet will it cause any problems if that private key gets imported into a different wallet later on? I think that just means both wallets can control the coins associated with the addresses, but that it shouldn't mess anything up. Not sure on that point.

~~I have strange problem using vanityminer on windows 7~~

Code:

C:\Users\Deafboy\Apps\vanitygen>oclvanityminer.exe -p cypress -d 0 -u "https://vanitypool.appspot.com/getWork" -a 163fnJCLCX9R3x6XHsAcSRD2hnbD2cvP4P
Invalid character '     ' in prefix '                   ga.src = ('https'
Invalid character '     ' in prefix '                   ga.src = ('https'
No work available, sleeping
^C
C:\Users\Deafboy\Apps\vanitygen>

Should have used oclvanityminer64.exe and URL without /getwork

Finally got it to work on 7970 using catalyst 13.04!

Downloaded the amd-sdk 2.7. Then

# mv /usr/lib/fglrx/libamdocl64.so /usr/lib/fglrx/libamdocl64_old.so

fantastic

Finally someone figured it out for linux. 17.4 Mkey/s on 7870.

I was thinking there ought to be a code patch to make it work other than copying the old version amdocl .so (or the windows analog) because surely that library is not that bugged - people are playing games on it etc. Must be some thing that goes wrong (results inconsistent gpu/cpu) that could be debugged and fixed.

But this is close enough for now.

Errors during import process are basically always because of one of two things:

1) The wallet is locked (you need to unlock it)
and/or
2) The privkey has already been imported into that wallet

Great, it works. Thanks!

I am trying to use oclvanitygen to generate some LTC addresses by using:
oclvanitygen.exe -X 48 Litesomething

(I used information on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Vanitygen , -k switch doesn't work though)

but on the LTC console, importprivkey command always gives this error message:
Error adding key to wallet (code -4)

-4 supposedly is insufficient fund error, should be irrelevant here. (the wallet does have some coins).

Did I do something wrong?

# mv /usr/lib/fglrx/libamdocl64.so /usr/lib/fglrx/libamdocl64_old.so

then copied the 'libamdocl64.so' from the archive: /lib/x86_64/libamdocl64.so to /usr/lib/fglrx/

Patched oclengine.c with this: https://gist.github.com/mnmnm/6387453

Recompiled oclvanitgen with:

# make oclvanitygen

profit!

I'm looking for bitcoin address generation, not mining. No point doing any GPU mining when you can get a ASIC powered USB miner. (I have a group buy, see sig.)

... hmmm ... new meaning for 'updated' - couple years old cards and stuff Wink

I found my july2013 notes for BTC mining:
7850 around 330 Mhash/sec
7950 around 627 Mhash/sec
long time average

regarding oclvanitygen - no notes found, but I would say around 25 M keys per sec
with 7950

Can someone tell me their video cards and their speeds for those cards? There isn't an updated list.

Toms Hardware has pretty updated GPGPU benchmarks:

Sorry if this has been answered... but the thread is long and after searching I can't find the answer

When trying to run oclvanityminer on windows 8 I get:

Get work request failed: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

Using: oclvanityminer.exe -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com -a 1NkxtjPeWHvjfk7joTAXhJFEBn8kevM661

Also doesn't work for vanitypooltest.appspot.com

Any help would be appreciated

Further to this I have the calc_addrs.cl in the same folder as oclvanityminer and it still says it can't find kernel. No file/directory.

Any suggestions for this either?
