I'm getting 61 keys/s, will my 7 letter prefix take long with such an amount of keys/second?

Yes, it could take years if you are only getting 61 keys per second. The average time is shown in the output.

Ah. I guess I'll go to a paid service then =P.

So if you wanted an oddball beginning would you convert the first number/letter to hex then it would be like

-X4a for J?

J is 43. This page explains it: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes
thats wrong since you have to supply it as hex value, not as dec

I'm getting 1.10 Mkey/s on my computer, let's say I want to run this operation on an FPGA, would it be similar to a bitcoin miner?  How do I increase the Mkey/s rate on my computer?

Thanks

Without looking at the code, because the seed is only part of the entropy?

hello,

I was playing around with the vanitygen seed option from a file.

It surprises me that vanitygen gives me every time different results while having the same seed.

Can someone explain me briefly why that is?

thanks

I just tried downgrading to 12.8 but that immediately broke everything. cgminer, vanitygen both crashed immediately upon startup.
I first uninstalled my cards and deleted the driver via device manager, then used the ATI installer to clean up the rest. Then I rebooted and installed 12.8. Any ideas?

Look around on the AMD site for the AMD driver removal utility. Use that yo remove drivers completely, reboot, and reinstall drivers. The driver uninstall process doesn't work correctly. You need the removal utility.

Thanks so much jay! Works like a charm Smiley

I'm assuming you found that tool. No problem though. I always had so many issues with drivers until I found that tool. The very next install and it worked great!

I could only find the windows 7 version. I got really wrapped around the axle trying to revert to prior driver. Wish someone would update the GPU version of the Vanity utility. 

Do you know if the windows 7 works for windows 8 or if there is another version out there somewhere?


The win7 version should work for the win8 version because I don't think the file structure isnt any different. Try it and report back!

Start with a new copy of cg miner
Yes, I did that, too, but either openCL-using program immediately broke. cgminer wouldn't even let me do -n and oclvanitygen wouldn't list platforms or devices. Could it be driver crumbs left behind somewhere?

I dug around in the vanitygen code a bit and got it to spit out compressed addresses without too much difficulty.  I've put my fork up here:

https://github.com/salfter/vanitygen

As an added bonus, it'll generate Litecoin vanity addresses (compressed or uncompressed)...

How do I compile that? or are there windows binaries already available?

Code:
git clone https://github.com/salfter/vanitygen
cd vanitygen
make vanitygen

This might works under Cygwin, but I've not tried it as the machines on which I run vanitygen all run Linux...you might need to pull in the PCRE and OpenSSL headers if you don't already have them.  Of course, you also need git, gcc, and make.  For git to work with HTTPS URLs, you also need the ca-certificates package (why this isn't pulled in as a dependency of git is anybody's guess.)

Attempting to build in Visual Studio is likely to be painful.

(Edited to reflect a successful build under Cygwin.)

Anyone know how to fix this bug I keep getting when I try to execute oclavanitygen on my GPU (AMD Radeon HD 7700)?

Running Windows 8 quad core platform

It and vanitygen64 run great in CPU mode but I can't coax it to run on the GPU at the higher hash rates.

Updated drivers and it didn't help and I have a new PC so can't revert back to anything older.

Great utility - would like to extend the preamble length to my vanity Bitcoin address.
