Is it necessary to let vanitygen run continuously in order to find the desired key, or can I stop it then start it again?
Ie. does it use the same starting point every time, so that when I start it for a second time, it goes through the keys that it has already gone through the first time?
Asked a third way, to make sure I'm making myself clear, if there's a 50% chance a key will be found in 24 hours of continuous operation, is there also a 50% chance a key will be found if I run the application for one hour on 24 separate days?

Great app. But what do I do with the generated data? How do I get to use it?
It's in the first post ("How do I get the generated private key into bitcoin?"). Follow that, and it will put the address in your wallet and its addresslist, so you can use it. Make sure to back up your wallet beforehand.Although nowadays you can have mtgox "eat" your private key, and then all funds on it will periodically be deposited into your account.

Interesting. New version of AMD video drivers came out, and now ocl is working fine 
Guess it was them, not you. Thanks!

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me (Ubuntu, sdk 2.1, ati 5970):
I tried many parameters like -V -S etc, but without success :-(.

How i should specify a platform for OpenCL?
-p 0 not works for me.
Upd. Solved. Have to specify platform first, pattern next.

This is awesome. I ran it on my linuxcoin mining rig after "sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev" no problem.
Rather than running it separately for each pattern, if you use the option to create a file with the patterns you're looking for, it can check each address it generates against all of them at once, which should be faster.Code:
[user@miner vanitygen]$ patterns=( vanity1 vanity2 vanity3 ... vanityN )
[user@miner vanitygen]$ for pattern in "${patterns[@]}"; do ./vanitygen 1${pattern}; done
Code:
./vanitygen --help

I've tried building oclvanitygen on my headless Ubuntu miner without success.
It always stops due to not finding the library "OpenCL". It compiles ok (because I manually added the SDK include path) but can't link.
I have the AMD SDK 2.4 installed (can mine without issues) but as far as I can see the SDK lib/x86 directory only contains shared .so files. There are no .a static libs for linking present.
Does anyone here know more about this?
Are the static libs put somewhere else or need to be built separately?
EDIT: Here's a patch for what I did to get oclvanitygen to build.
Just changes to Makefile so correct include and lib dirs are used.
Assumes 32 bit as otherwise the lib dir is x86_64
If you save this code into file p1 in src dir, cp Makefile Makefile.org,
then you can apply the patch with, patch
I get about 21 MH/s when using oclvanitygen with 1x 5830.

version seems to be 125 but I know you knew that.. this for those who come after you.
anyways can we get the error message about bitcoin addies needed to start with 1 when using -x version?
it doesnt like when i do -r 125 scow and yet if I just do -r 125 cow it comes up with n scowdkjgfksdhg addy
it also doesnt seem to like the lowercase i when i use version, which is totally blowing my vanity addy of sir1oin and even ir1oin doesnt work

What's the version of SolidCoin addresses?
Nice avatar, by the way. May you be touched by his noodley appendage.

awesome, thanks for pointing that out!
Edit: Did you mean "vanitygen --help"? I can't find anything about SolidCoin addresses.
