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?
Topic: VanitySearch (Yet another address prefix finder) - page 35. (Read 32966 times)
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).
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?

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:

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-if there is nothing special in that regard to his setup it should produce output..
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.
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..
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.

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

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

Please tell me! What system is needed for your program to work (Vanity Search) 32 bit or 64 bit?
in this tests i found interesting address 1111111111111111111114oLvT2
its shorter than typical P2PKH 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2
and is not random generated
This is very well known address with Public Key hash 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000. its shorter than typical P2PKH 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2
and is not random generated
"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 ?
Restart or no restart, it wouldn't matter all that much anyway since generating millions of keys per second and finding a matching prefix (or postfix, or middle fix or whatever) is a probability.
He must be talking about the -i argument that specifies a text file with a list of prefixes.If that's the case, bangbumbang is correct because
during my test, it didn't changed the queue once I've edited my text file while vanityseach is running.

Stop. Add. Start. It will then start finding from a random spot. I believe it randomizes the search after every few million, or at least that's what the original vanitygen did.
