Is it possible to direct hashrates rented on Nicehash to generate a vanity Bitcoin address?
I don't think ASIC miners can be used to find vanity addresses. They're build for only one specific task, and it would be too expensive to build a dedicated ASIC to find vanity addresses.
Don't people usually use NiceHash to rent their GPUs? Okay, you have the possibility to rent ASIC and GPU, so, my priority is GPU in this case.
While ASICs are highly optimized for specific tasks, including hashing, they may not be as well-suited for the additional operations involved in VanitySearch.
ASICs are designed for specific tasks and are commonly used for cryptocurrency mining, such as Bitcoin mining. They are optimized for high-speed computation of specific algorithms and are not general-purpose computing devices like CPUs or GPUs.
But ASICs aren't my priority. NiceHash also offers you to rent GPU hashrate, doesn't it? So, my question is, can I rent GPU hashrate from nicehash and dedicate that hashrate to VanitySearch? I know that's possible via Amazon or Google cloud servers and via other websites that rent GPU rigs but I don't know how possible is it to direct GPU hashrate to specific job on NiceHash.
I think you want to check for marketplace which let you rent GPU for any purpose, such as
https://vast.ai/. Take note i
DO NOT guarantee security of generated key using such marketplace.
Yes, I know that but as far as I know you are limited to rigs and can't rent more than what particular rig offers.
As reminder, NiceHash let you buy or sell hashrate for various algorithm where some of them can be done practically with CPU or GPU. But since AFAIK NiceHash only let you choose the mining pool, the answer is still no.
That's what I want to know.
