Topic: VanitySearch (Yet another address prefix finder) - page 4. (Read 33086 times)

I ran it on a Dell R710 Google GSA server running server 2019 paired with a Tesla T4
The end points where mining rigs. (The endpoints can be anything running windows)
Payments where processed with opennode.
but it enabled a simpler payment system. (It requires server owner to kyc) That's what it was about, simplicity for the endpoint user.
It's a compartmentalized system with argument breaks wrote in mostly c#.
It's a trustless design as far as Bitcoin security goes.
Software wise it's like mining software. Servers the pool, endpoints are workers. It's just clever workarounds to look like a pool
We where going to pull device IDs and cross reference mks for live key count estimations
Endpoint workers are teslaagents that report to server.
 (They are pretty invasive we recommend keeping them on mining rigs and treating it like so)
Endpoint workers check work and only submit correct work.
Correct work got sent via email (jellyfish)
The endpoints run whatever software you want, but when a request comes in it closes that software and prioritizes the workers task untill finished.
You'd need a domain , email,  opennode account

I'd request a few things if I just hand this over.

 , if its repurposed for cracking it retains intended features as well to the public.
If you release SC , you have a checksum of some sort to verify it's the real deal.
Point the tip jar to the 1SPLiTKEY wallet.

In your experience/opinion, what all would it take?

If only someone had made a system like nicehash for vanity wallet generation. I'd give the source code to anyone capable and willing to maintain and redeploy the service. (I'd prefer it be someone I know or know of)
 

It's not about mining, it's all related to Bitcoin Vanity address generation

All answers have been tailored to his questions and that's why I also pointed out to the fact that Nicehash cannot provide a solution to his needs (because of the mentioned other algorithms involved but also to the fact that he cannot rent a free-for-use GPU arch on NH).

I would agree if @Synchronice ask about mining. But address generation not only use SHA-256, but also RIPEMD-160, ECDSA and other operation depending on which address type you want to generate.

I wonder how I should interpret your cognitive dissonance. Those were your words and I gave you a helpful answer in that context.
puzzled

I agree with you. I took the trouble to answer your questions and you're throwing stones in a glass house. Now I'm totally confused.

Simply, altcoins doesn't mean shitcoins. There are alternative coins like Monero that aren't shit. It's wrong to call shitcoin to alternatives. But okay, that's your opinion.

Give me remarks when (if) you'll (ever) become a moderator. Don't call yourself we because you don't represent other people.

That's not a right way to talk.

Finish line

I don't have to, but I do because it reflects my opinion.

Oh yes, we do. You're posting under Bitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Development & Technical Discussion so please stick to the forum rules.

In case you want to talk about shitcoins please stick to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0

Glad you got helpful answers and solved the mystery

Why do you have to use word Shitcoin instead of altcoins? And the fact that we are on Bitcointalk doesn't mean we are automatically talking about SHA-256. For sure, we can't use ASICs for anything other than what they were created for because the abbreviation itself means application-specific integrated circuit, so, that's clear for everyone. My question was, since people rent their GPUs on Nicehash, if it was possible to hire those hashes to do whatever you want with them. I already have an answer to the question, thank everyone.

Yes, I'm aware of that, that's why I said this:


Since we are in the Bitcoin forum and not in a Shitcoin subforum, we are talking about BTC and therefore SHA-256. And the thread here is called VanitySearch and it is very much about Bitcoin address generation.

Well,

It will not be possible to rent SHA-256 hashrates from Nicehash in order to generate Bitcoin addresses using VanitySearch. This is simply not possible and I would like to point this out. Even if you use the Altcoin area you will not be able to run VanitySearch via Nicehash. You're not renting the GPU there, you're renting the hashrate that is explicitly designed for a very specific work process and produced. You will NOT be able to run a program or application on a GPU because you didn't rent GPU architecture to use it. You rented just the hash rate produced by a graphic card for a certain algorithm, nothing more.

If someone wants to rent GPUs in order to run standard programs at will, Nicehash is simply the wrong place to start because it doesn't work. Alternatives have been shown.

Thanks for the reminder, i frequently forget about split key mechanism.


That's true. I just checked available rig, but at most you only can find rig with 10 GPU.


You should re-visit NiceHash,
1. This page shows you can mine with ASIC, GPU or CPU, https://www.nicehash.com/mining-hardware.
2. This page shows various hashrate you can buy, https://www.nicehash.com/pricing. For example, RandomXmonero can't be mined with ASIC.

Besides, @Synchronice never mention keyword ASIC or SHA-256.

No. On NiceHash you rent hashrate which is produced by ASIC miners, not GPU. Although there are certain hash algorithms that allowe(d) GPUs to provide the hash rate. But when we talk about SHA-256 -and we do on this Bitcoin forum- we're talking about ASIC miners.

Then stick to vast.ai lambdarentals, linode, AWS or whatever suit your needs.

Again --> No, this is not possible.

see above

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.

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.

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.

That's what I want to know.

Using "split key" can solve that problem: the server will never know your final private key, and you can even create the split key on an offline system.

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.



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.

No. VanitySearch involves not only the hashing algorithm you mentioned (SHA-256) but also additional operations such as Base58 encoding or RIPEMD-160, which is used to convert the hashed data into a human-readable Bitcoin address format. 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.

Talk to WhyFhy, he created (and ended) 1SPLiTKEY.com The easy, secure and mostly free vanity wallet service closed/down.

It's possible, but a very expensive way to create just a Bitcoin address.

I've seen other pay-by-the-hour hosts that offer servers with GPU. I think it's more likely to be used to crack lost passwords than find a rare vanity address though.

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.

See Rare address hall of fame.

Does anybody have or had a GPU mining rig? And I wonder if any of you with lots of hashing power had tried to generate a Vanity bitcoin address via VanitySearch? I'm talking about those who have at least tens of GPUs or in the best case, hundreds of them. I also wonder if any of you have tried to generate a Vanity address by using powerful AWS servers? Is it possible to direct hashrates rented on Nicehash to generate a vanity Bitcoin address? I know my sentences are full of questions but I'm really curious. If you have tried none of them above, at least what's the longest Vanity address that you have generated?

Best you could do is to contact OP from github, there might be contact methods, or he might be active there.
Else you just need to change the curve parameters, hashing functions and address encoding if they also differ, no need to know a lot about coding.

And if all of that failed, go to service board and post a topic. This is a link to service board.

Hello, I'm new here and have a question about
bojlahg/VanitySearchPublicKey.
if I search there I find only keys with use -t.
-gpu is displayed but does not find any keys
for example:

VanitySearchPK.exe -t 0 -gpu -sk 2000000000000000000000000000000000 -p 633cbe Find no keys but 5000mk/s            (0keys) 1 minute

VanitySearchPK.exe -t 1 -gpu -sk 2000000000000000000000000000000000 -p 633cbe find keys with 5600mk/s very bad (25keys) 1 minute

VanitySearchPK.exe -t 32 -sk 200000000000000000000000000000000 -p 633cbe find keys good but 1000mk/s                (200keys)1 minute

I believe that the program recognizes the GPU
but the gpu performance does nothing

can any help for this
