I will try to rephrase as I have a feeling we might've had misunderstanding as I'm not native English speaker.
I'd like to put all the found keys in a txt file. What exactly should I write after -o? is it something like -o C:/BTC/vanitysearch/file.txt where I specify the path to that particular file?

You didn't answered any of my questions... Sad

Either specifying the directory or not, will work, the difference is without the directory, the output file will be created in the directory where vanitysearch is.

Did you even try to run Vanitysearch as admin? Because if the disk is "protected" and without admin rights, any app wont be able to write files if it wasn't launched as admin.
I have tried it and it also didn't created an output file.

You can also specify the directory where there's no required elevated permission like your drives other than "C" for W10, that way you wont be needing admin privilege.
Lastly, you should put the prefix in the end of the command, Eg:

Code:

vanitysearch -stop -o D:\Folder\output.txt 1pear

Sorry, I must've missed it.
Not sure about admin rights. I'm using it as the admin, should be fine I guess.
as for the path, I wasn't sure if I should specify the full path starting with C: or just file.txt after -0

Other question as it seems I still miss some important points.

I'm performing scan right now, I see {Prob. 100% - 99% in 00:00:00} and this being there for hours.
What exactly is it, how to understand it?

that's exactly how I did it but the file is still empty

Try with simple command lines and different/simple path to the text file.
If my exact command line didn't work, maybe an antivirus or sandboxing prevents vanitysearch from accessing the results.txt you want (and you may or may not find a copy somewhere else).

Let's say it simple. If you do this:

Code:

vanitysearch -c -o results.txt 1Me

that's exactly how I did it but the file is still empty

Let's say it simple. If you do this:

Code:

vanitysearch -c -o results.txt 1Me

Then results.txt will get bigger and bigger, containing 3 lines for each found address. In my case the first 6 lines are:

Code:

PubAddress: 1meEixrnWYtQFXUkDxnP3ENxXCmEZJ1kE
Priv (WIF): p2pkh:L5dBcsL9Pgmx5pDk1ii7ykdQPx17XQZuhEpofKQFWn4K382jXCUB
Priv (HEX): 0xFAC64ACC2BEBB389756AB9AB34A885F9F2879D960323293A0F51DB12881EF4DA
PubAddress: 1metAmdcDmYj5F5sgDsDHUJVdv3VMbeUb
Priv (WIF): p2pkh:KytWuwVt4DDoPjwvsuKQb2BDdMApd7jtPiymw6eekWYsycvrMKcH
Priv (HEX): 0x4FA34D7759299FEBD5DBB8DC0E4AA89C7B0EE8AD77D560382F7FFE6B8F08CFF8

This is what you wanted to know? Clear now?
However, nobody stops you from making a test with a very simple vanity rule which will give you results in seconds.

my mistake, of course it was -o file.txt command. still nothing though

-snip-

What? no.. I might be wrong or misunderstand you but I get output with -o on windows and linux without elevated privileges..
if there is nothing special in that regard to his setup it should produce output..

That question if for shlomogold since I've quoted his reply Undecided

As for the "Run as Admin", I have successfully reproduced his issue by pasting and running VanitySearch from the system disk which requires Admin rights (Windows10).
If I run it outside the system disk, it always produces an output file even without admin privileges.
That's why I'm asking about his OS and where vanitysearch's directory is.

yes i know and i weight in bcause i also answered him and if you can reproduce the issue.. ok.. and then priv's could be the issue..
though i don't see why that should be neccesary and also i don't have that issue on windows 10 on system volume self compiled or prereleased..

What's your OS?
Is VanitySearch stored in a system disk or drive without elevated privileges?

If your OS is Windows, you need to start Command Prompt as administrator in order to create an output file.
If it was launched normally, it will just print the result and wont create an output file.

I rather suspect that the test setup did not find a result ?! try something very simple like 1AB as a prefix...
still no output?...

the command output also shows the number of results at the very end [Found 0] if this does show Found 1 or more and your output file is empty then maybe something to look at with the privileges

still having problem with txt file though, I set -i file.txt and it is still empty

-i is only the IN file it will not be changed. Use -o OUT file for putting potential results in a file instead of the command line output.

you need nvidia gpu
install cuda
run like .... Vanitysearch.exe -b -t 0 -gpu -gpuId 0 -g 544,512

more examples in several of the last topic pages...

already done, it helped.

-gpu didn't work, something about CUDA, -g Invalid grid size GPU ID argument

Bonjour Jean Luc,

after reading the description it is still not clear for me if you can do multiple addresses search at once, when you set certain prefix i.e. 1xxxxxx and then have all of them found filled in your list of addresses?
1xxxxx1, 1xxxxx2, 1xxxxx3, …, 1xxxxx99 and so on? I mean when it is done automatically and not manual each time after only one address had been found? figured out

~~Another question: can't specify path for my txt file. I put it in the same folder as vanitysearch.exe but none of two commands work, not o- outputfile:test.txt, nor o-output:C/desktop/Vanity/test.txt~~ resolved, did it wrong before

now the problem is with gpu
-gpu didn't work, something about CUDA, -g Invalid grid size GPU ID argument

Merci

its shorter than typical P2PKH 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2
and is not random generated

This is very well known address with Public Key hash 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

"Items lost" refers to items found by the GPU that match the lookup table. It is not only link to the number of prefixes your search, but also to the number of threads.
When you have a lookup size of 65536, each GPU thread will return 6*1024 items.
With -g 88,128 and a lookup size of 64660, the number of items found by the GPU is (in average) 6*1024*88*128*64660/65536 = 68 280 960‬ and cannot exceed 6*1024*88*128*65536.
This has to be improved.

I have more items lost than prefixes
Search: 2367367 prefixes
Warning, 68214971 items lost
... and still found something in late

you could still use -m 64000000 or is your performance tanking ?
