Got my new 1 TefLon addy..
Wish I knew how long it took..
its estimate was 12 hours..
Thanks for all the help guys!
Topic: Want a vanity address? (Read 3483 times)
Vanitygen supports file output without any commandline hacks - just use -o file.txt and it will write to a file. If you use the -i arg, it will be case-insensitive, and -k will keep generated results and keep running to find more. By default, it stops after finding one match.
question.. what if my computer crashes after I find it.. my setup is unstable.. and I have to goto sleep eventually.. got a 12 hour wait it says..
Can it stash the key and address to the HD.. ? to later retrieve
Now I haven't used Windows for years but I do believe it supports redirecting output to a file.Can it stash the key and address to the HD.. ? to later retrieve
eg.
oclvanitygen -d0 1Love >>vanity.txt
should write the result to that file. I used >> so that result is appended rather than overwrite the file.
If you add the -k option it will keep searching for multiple addresses.
hmmmm... 1 love worked fine...
But trying 1Teflon in place of 1Love
gives and error on the "L" in Teflon
Yup. BTC addresses can't contain a lower case "l". And a few other letters too.But trying 1Teflon in place of 1Love
gives and error on the "L" in Teflon
I guess you'll have to use 1TefLon.
ohhhhhhhh.. wow.. Im surprised I never knew that..
Fyi, im getting 14 m keys while mining on the card too..
Thanks brother
But once you have an address you can use firstbits.com for a shortened version and it allows using wrong case. I just checked and 1teflon isn't used by anyone yet so if you send a few cents to yourself on that address then you'll own 1teflon.
1Love - ya, lots of them out there. 4 chars is pretty easy to generate quickly.

Mai pen rai
Where do I enter my private key to generate an address off of ?
You don't. Each new address also has a new private key. Start with a simple example to see you have done it right,For CPU: vanitygen64 1Love
For GPU: oclvanitygen -d 0 1Love
That should spit out an address/key pair in a few seconds typically. If it works then you can try longer ones and other options.
You only supply a "hex public key" as input when using -P to generate a partial key for a third party.
AWESOME!
That took about 2 seconds.. 1Love.. lmao..
Im going to have fun with this..
Thanks brother, I owe you..

Im going to try for an insanely long vanity addy..
Something like 1Sitonmyface34dasfASDFa34
Something like 1Sitonmyface34dasfASDFa34
You should try something like 1PZjfkLZBT7Q3UFmyEWH8QtuzTMi3MUiBj. If you succeed you have a big reward.
hahhaa..
how much is in that one ?
Actually, I cant figure out the arguments at all.. Im lost..

Im a pure newb when it comes to this stuff
Plus im a little distracted by the Nasa live Curiosity feed.. Neat stuff

Thanks Bkkcoins, I was confused, Im on win 7 64..
Going to try this now
Use the 64 bit exe in that zip.Going to try this now
First time you run the exe it will compile an OpenCL "kernel" and download it to the GPU to run. But after that it should have saved the file so that further runs will just download it and go. So first time takes a while.
whoa.. I dont even know where to start..
What am I doing? compiling a C code file ?
I need supporting programs right ?
First, what OS are you using? For Windows there is binaries on the vanitygen github so it should be pretty easy to download and just use. For Linux or OSX you'd have to compile I believe. I just did that again after 9 months when I first did it and it's fairly easy/painless.What am I doing? compiling a C code file ?

Go here,
https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen/downloads
For Linux/OSX click Download as Tar.gz
For Windows binaries click the vanitygen-0.19-win.zip link.

Holy shit.. what GPU is that based off.. I got a 5870 here in slot 0..
This is hilarious..
I have 3x 5830s here. But this rate was with my mining still going. So it was quoting me about 4 Mkeys/s and when I shutdown mining I can get around 22 Mkeys/s. So factor in about 5x faster if you dedicate the GPU. what GPU is that based off.. I got a 5870 here in slot 0.. This is hilarious..
ie. on 3 GPU miner dedicated you get this down to 5678 / 5 / 3 = 378 years.
The character length is super critical. Even cutting off one char makes a big impact.
So oclvanitygen -id 0 1Sitonme
quotes me only 3.3 days.
