just opened a beer and found   https://blockchain.info/address/1HaLfdrunk5LC5a4By9vZ2YmLz5o3mbkXT    Donate if you like it Wink

Nine character non-caps patterns arn't so hard to find. Now try and find a 13+ character "1" pattern short address.

What do you mean by 13+ 1 pattern short address?
I think he is talking 13 or more 1's in a row, at least that's what I get out of it.

Try just

Code:
./vanitygen -i 1jerodev

Yea, but I would like to do some other stuff with this server too.
It is a server on wich I connect via ssh.
Run it in a screen.
Code:
Sudo apt-get install screen
Screen ./vanitygen
Ctrl+A, D <- detach from current screen
Screen -list <- list running screens
Screen -r # <- resume a  previously active screen where # is number before the . from list above (123.something)

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me.

Is there a parameter for vanitygen to stop it from outputting stuff to the console?
I want it to run on the background of my ubuntu server, so I use './vanitygen -i 1jerodev &', but it keeps sending things to the console and it is verry anoying.

Thanks for helping,
Jerodev.

I was getting the Found delta message from oclvanitygen. I neglected to test a short string and had it running for 2 days before it gave the message. I have a 6950 w/ Catalyst 13.4 installed. After looking over this thread I used the AMD Un-install utility from their site, restarted, installed the 12.8 Catalyst package, restarted and oclvanitygen.exe is now finding matches.

Just wanted to mention downgrading to 12.8 fixed this issue for me.

In case anyone can not be bothered to get the old versions of the driver installed you can always use us at:
https://bitcoinvanity.appspot.com/

We just reduced prices another 20%.
And short addresses still free.

SCAM ALERT !!!
NIBOR using https://bitcoinvanity.appspot.com to steal BTC

you have to run multiple instances.
do you use win or linux ?
you have to use 12.10 drivers (on both).
and disable BFI_INT in source code for 7xxx cards.

see here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2819593



No, just do -D 0:0 -D 0:1 -D 0:2... and so on...  and you an run multiple gpu's in one instance for example:

Works for me great on my 660ti's

Dunno about AMD.

This doesn't work on my ATI 5xxx and 6xxx cards. I have to use multiple instances

Ok thanks! Will give it a try! I think it will be the same speed, but for simplicity, i would love to get that -D X:X working on AMD 7950s

Why are some addresses harder to find than others when you change only 1 characters case. For example at the vanitypool there's work for a 1bitpoin, and my computer says it will find one for it in ~10 days, but when I search for 1Bitpoin it can find it in 5 minutes...?

The answer is exactly two pages back (again). That's called dedication to not looking for the answer before asking...
How could he have known that without reading 70 pages of posts?
The search box at the top of the forum will search only the thread or board you are currently viewing. The key is to type in creative search terms, a phrase that revealed the answer for me quickly is "lower case".

I'm quite interested - is this basicaly bruteforcing? Also, what happens to all the adresses that are generated? Are they just going to a waste forever or do they "recycled", also, how many addresses can be brought into total existance? I generate a LOT of keys per second and I'm curious, am I wasting a lot of addresses?

As far as I understand it, all addresses 'already exist', so to speak.  It's just a matter of having a private key.  If you 'generate' a key, youre not magically making it appear, youre just doing the math that gives a private key that happens to correlate to whatever its address is.  Same way you could just smash in some keys (within constraints that would make a valid address) and send coin off to the nethers of a random address, lost unless someone happened to come upon a private key for that address.  'Generating' a vanity address is really just spam checking random address/private key combos until you happen to find an address you deem interesting.
