Hey will you guys test my fork on some altcoins?
I've got 70+ altcoins lists on my vanitygen fork. Also working up a vm soon to compile some windows binaries
https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus
Not trying to spam, it just seemed to go unnoticed earlier. I suppose because everyone wants windows binaries?

It does seem like a very small issue though as that's not even a 1% increase in size.
Your math is off: from 225 to 257 bytes is over 14% increase. The percentage is even larger with more inputs and less outputs, and (as far as I know) it's the reason compressed addresses were introduced. For this reason, most wallets now use compressed addresses.Quote
are there other differences like this in other 'normal' bitcoin addresses?
I don't think so. 
Clearly generating vanity addresses has zero affect on transaction fees.
I don't know if my question was unclear, I've changed my post a bit.1 vanity input with 2 outputs: 257 bytes.
1 compressed input with 2 outputs: 225 bytes.
Doing the same with 11 inputs and 1 output gives a (relatively) larger difference, as inputs are larger than outputs.
Of course vanity addresses don't create larger transactions than "normal" addresses, that's not the point. The point is: compressed (input) addresses create smaller transactions, and if it would be possible to generate compressed vanity addresses, you could have the best of both worlds.
Ahh ok that makes a hell of a lot more sense. It does seem like a very small issue though as that's not even a 1% increase in size. At the risk of sounding like a newb, are there other differences like this in other 'normal' bitcoin addresses? If I generate 2 random addresses and they each have the same number of inputs I always assumed they would both be the same size in bytes.

Could someone direct me to where exactly this lifeboat vanitygen is? Can I download it from github or am I missing something? Also could you link me to where it's explained what is does/if it's different/why it's better? Googling just keeps coming up with reddit post after reddit post but no real information for me... Sorry for the newb questions rofl.

It will start the download right away.
Thank you very much!
I recently transfered 11 inputs from a vanity addy, and it made me realize the transaction gets quite big, which requires higher fees. Using vanity addresses also adds to the already large number of unconfirmed transactions.
I just found out Lifeboat supports compressed keys, which is 15% faster (source: README in this zip) than regular keys! But it's specialized for AMD, and available for Windows only. So I can't use it.
The last version of vanitygen is 4 years old now. It would be very nice to see an update that includes compressed keys. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to chance the source myself. It might be a relatively small change to add compressed keys.
If generate a specific address make the transaction fees goes higher and add more time/user to unconfirmed transaction, then is it worth to do? As we should be fine with our random address right now as long as it works just like others and safely to transact through it. Maybe it will be cool to have your name at the address but consider the side effects of it. Well, I would like to see newest vanitygen than what left for 4 years.I just found out Lifeboat supports compressed keys, which is 15% faster (source: README in this zip) than regular keys!

Thanks for stopping by. Stay longer next time to learn a little bit. Clearly generating vanity addresses has zero affect on transaction fees.
You signature spammers crack me up...

Vanity addresses do NOT contribute to higher fees. In fact, there is absolutely no difference to the network when using a vanity address as it is just the same as any other Bitcoin address. Don't spread FUD - especially when you don't even understand the concept!

Its a different version ( Im not lifeboat nor samr7 just his build was solid and this should be too )
https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus
I forked it and made some changes add support for 70+ altcoins and manually merged pull requests defunct repos either added or ignored that i found important
easy ticker symbol flags
./oclvanitygen -C LBRY bTEST
oclvanitygen -C NMC Ntest
vanitygen -C LTC Ltest
etc...
if you do a kali linux build heres compile instructions
https://legacysecuritygroup.com/index.php/projects/recent/12-software/35-oclvanitygen-compiling-and-use
Is that the OgNasty LifeBoat version I've been using for over a year, or is this a different lifeboat version?
any relation?

Has anyone compiled oclvanitygen on Windows?
I can get it to compile but when I try to run it errors out:
Stackdump:
I am almost certain it's because of the OpenCL implementation in Cygwin but I am not sure how to use an alternative.
Thanks,
Jude

This is the error I'm getting:

I saw someone else having this issue and they mentioned that the following worked:
1. Open "calc_addrs.cl" with text editor.
2. Go to line 180 and change __constant bignum bn_zero; to __constant bignum bn_zero = { 0 };
3. Run with -S option enabled, otherwise it will throw out hashing mismatches instead of privkeys.
Does anyone know how to get OCLVanitygen to work with 2 r9 290x cards? I am using the lifeboat version. Everytime I try to run the .bat file that I created, it just opens, list the specs of the cards and just closes. I tried to install the old catalyst v. 12.7 software as some suggested earlier in the thread, but it doesn't work at all. For reference, I have the new crimson software installed.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Any help would be really appreciated.
What arguments are you passing to oclvanitygen? If you want to use multiple cards, you have to pass both device IDs with -D similar to the following:
Code:
oclvanitygen.exe -D 0:0 -D 0:1 1test
I used that line, but the screen just pops up and closes.
Try opening up a command line prompt and running it so you can see the full output of the command. If you are in a recent version of Windows, you can shift + right click in Windows Explorer and select "Open command window here" while in the folder containing oclvanitygen. This will allow you to view the full output and any errors that it may be showing.
