Hi,
Sorry if this has already been asked / answered.
How can I set vanity to generate random or a set of addresses based on a query and save all of the results to a text file?
Thanks,
Jack

Remove the space after the -X flag to change it to -X30. That will fix the script.

Use
You cannot have a space after the -X flag.
Code:
./oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -S -X48 -i Light
You cannot have a space after the -X flag.
It seems to work with or without space for me. But this example showed me the bug seems to be with certain (short?) litecoin prefixes, not litecoin prefixes in general. Your example worked, as did Ligh and Lig, but Li and L just sit there hashing when they should be finding many addresses per second. Lp worked even though Li didn't. Can anyone confirm this?
Code:
./oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -S -X 48 L
This should find a Litecoin key. Instead, it runs forever. Is this a known limitation of oclvanitygen?

If anyone is interested in generating compressed vanity addresses, see this Pull Request. salfter did the CPU side, and I commented with a link to my fork that includes his work and adds OpenCL support for the GPU side. Please be careful and verify that addresses you generate using my changes are correct before sending money to them.
Just got a chance to try out your OpenCL changes. On my Ubuntu box, the new changes work like a champ.
I've integrated your oclvanitygen changes into my fork.
BTW, those of you with Gentoo mining rigs might want to look at my overlay. In addition to the older ATI driver, I have a bunch of ebuilds for Bitcoin, Litecoin, and some other altcoins in there. (Haven't gotten around to a vanitygen ebuild yet, though...should probably fix that.)
Edit: One thing I noticed is that your oclvanitygen only appears to find Bitcoin keys. The original appears to have the same behavior, so your changes didn't cause a regression. Try this:
Code:
./oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -S -X 48 L
This should find a Litecoin key. Instead, it runs forever. Is this a known limitation of oclvanitygen?
Thank you Dabs 
Use the -o switch. Like
vanitygen -k -o filename.txt 1Dabs
Then go to sleep. When you wake up, you have a text file with a bunch of private keys.
Sorry for the "basic" question...
Is there a way to have the results found within the Windows version using the -k command be sent directly to a file?

I found printf, I want to extract only the bitcoin address from it because the output contains the private key and another line as well. Anyone knows how to do that?
Why would you only want the address? It's useless without the private key too?

And it just goes on forever and ever. but if i do it with the cpu version it work for perfect in no time. i read through form and have not noticed any thing posted about this.

I've come across this too with a full uninstall of newer drivers (removal tool) and downgrading to 12.8.
The only solution I can use to avoid the loop above is to run in safemode with the -S flag.
This does run a lot slower than normal.... however it is still a lot faster than my CPU.
I'm not very familiar with C but I was going through the source code. I wanted to know where the address is generated.
Like, suppose I run vanitygen and it finds an address I want, I wanna know the line that prints the address and its private key on the console.
Thank you

I can't seem to figure out the indexes in linebuf the address is stored in. Once someone tells me that, I'll figure out the rest myself.

Hmm...I need to fix that. :-| Look next to this post for the key I'm using now (begins with 9, not 5). You should be able to pull it from any keyserver.
Edited after posting: The correct key ID is 92C7689C.
Edited again: my website is fixed. My current key is now at http://alfter.us/files/salfter.asc.
I have a question, is the entropy source in Vanitygen reliable enough to use it as a simple Bitcoin address generator? Like just specify the pattern "1", the combination it then outputs, is it secure and not vulnerable?
its based on OpenSSL's, so yes it should be fine.
