Topic: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] - page 45. (Read 1153678 times)
I'm looking into a new laptop and I'm wondering if anyone has some advice on GPUs. Does anyone know if a NVIDIA Tegra K1 will work on oclvanitygen? I like the idea of a chromebook bit I probably wouldn't stick with the chrome OS.
So my list is working now, for some reason it wasn't at first, but no matter. Follow up question to the list...Can I specify if I want to search for case sensitive and insensitive per address? Or is it all or nothing?
If you are having issues opening vanitygen, try running it from a command prompt
I've been trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong with my GPU... it's an AMD A6-3420M Radeon(tm) HD Graphics. When I try and do -D 0:0 and/or -D 0:1 it say 'could not open device '0:0', ignoring. It shows my GPU as '1:' so I'm assuming I need to use the command 1:1, right?
I've seen a couple of people who've had to use 1:0 2:0 3:0 to describe their graphics cards.
Your 0:0 might be your CPU, you can squeeze a few extra hashes out of it, but the system slows right down.
I didn't seem to be able to figure out how to use the GPU at all in oclvanitygen. I did -v -D 0:0 -D 0:1 1test, -v -D 0:0 -D 1:0 1test, and a few other variations but they don't work for me. I've found some guides but I really can't figure out what I'm doi wrong. Ikv used my CPU with vanitygen64 with no issues so assumed using the GPU would be basically the same!
Start simple
Code:
oclvanitygen 1Boat
You should get this: (and by this I mean something similar)
Code:
Difficulty: 4476342
Available OpenCL platforms:
0: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
0: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] Tahiti
1: [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] Tahiti
2: [AuthenticAMD] AMD A4-3300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
Choosing just the last one I then get
Code:
oclvanitygen -D 0:2 1Boat
You should get something like this:
Code:
Difficulty: 4476342
Compiling kernel, can take minutes...done!
Pattern: 1Boat
Address: 1BoatZkAneV9PsCp6LKenR3rxQXs6mQoiy
Privkey: 5K7aGsmQvymQx12WRQhZ6VZ3EdeLgwJjGANMHmLd92yNwSnsj6F
Try the other ones your system lists (note, I have two graphics cards, your config may / will look slightly different)
Code:
oclvanitygen -D 0:1 1Boat
Code:
oclvanitygen -D 0:0 1Boat
If you start getting
Code:
Difficulty: 4476342
Match idx: 1
CPU hash: c4e7297e0146329aeb8995bf723373cdfbe555dd
GPU hash: 7680ace6e2d3a96d325ca56ebe2703c930424bca
Found delta: 2237430 Start delta: 1
[275.42 Kkey/s][total 8388608][Prob 84.6%][90% in 7.0s]
Then try using the "LifeBoat" variant by Og Nasty (use the search engine above) Once you work out which cards do what, you will end up with a command like this:
Code:
oclvanitygen -f work.txt -o dump.txt -D n:n
and using a text editor such as notepad (not MS Word or Libre Open Office as they add weird stuff into their text files)
Code:
1search
1for
1aLL
1these
1words
Remembering that letters such as "i", "o" and "L" and case sensitive always.
And after all that, you can step up to oclvanitygen64.exe if your system can do so.
How to check for multiple patterns?
I have few patterns that I want and it will be more fast instead of generating one by one...
Thanks

With a name like forumaster, one would think you could use the search function of the forum. Perhaps you are master of a different type of forum?
Use the -f option
-f filename
the file should contain one entry per line
you should also output the results to a file when you do this
-o filename
note that this should be a different filename the the input filename
Anyway thanks, I will try this
Not exactly sure what I am doing wrong, but when using a notepad file as my list for the -f option, it only finds addresses with the first entry in the notepad file.
Well the easiest addresses will generally be found first and if you use the -i option it will continue looking for all addresses in your list. Can you post a snippet of your list from the beginning?

So when I find an address and it shows the public key and private key in the command prompt, is there a way I can copy and paste the two keys into a notepad file so I dont have to write each character out?
Within Vanitygen right click -> select all + Enter. Go to your document you want it in and paste it. That's how I do it! Ctrl+c won't work by the way

It works fine for me, with each entry on a new line, with a 1 in front. Example:Code:
1search
1for
1aLL
1these

If you are using Windows, look here. If you are using Linux and, say, xterm as a terminal emulator, just select the text and then paste it clicking the middle button of the mouse where you need it...
As you can see, Linux beats Windows hands down even in the simplest of operations
You can also use the command
Code:
vanitygen -o dump.txt 1Boat
where the -o is the output and dump.txt (or what ever) is where the code is written to in the same directory.

I lost my wallet dat but I still remember my bitcoin Address, can I recover it using vanity?
Help please.
You can't. If that would be possible, anybody could "recover" any Bitcoin address.Help please.
You may be able to recover your wallet.dat file, depending on how you lost it and how much you're willing to try (or pay).
I have been reading bits and pieces of this thread but not all so forgive me if I ask a question asked before but.... is there a way to run oclvanitygen across multiple cards, like as an ETH miner would / old setup?
C:\>oclvanitygen.exe -D 0:0 -D 0:1 -D 0:2 -D 0:3 -D 0:4 -D 0:5 1prefix
That's for 6 cards
Much appreciated, thanking you kindly
Can GPU's only be used for the oclvanitygen? I can't figure out how to turn my GPU's on for vanitygen64.exe?
Vanitygen64 is for CPU, oclvanitygen is for GPU (if I understand correctly
but I only have an Intel GPU which can't be used for on reason or another so I haven't personally tested it).
