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.

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.

What would be a typical command line to do this myself? Im about to tackle this... Cheesy

I dont need third party, Im going to try for an insanely long vanity addy..

Something like 1Sitonmyface34dasfASDFa34

For CPU:
vanitygen 1Sitonmyface

But that would take forever. Well, ok just 258759000 years on my mahcine.

For GPU:
oclvanitygen -d 0 1Sitonmyface

Ah, much better, only 2819089 years.

The -d 0 option on oclvanitygen just tells it to use the first GPU device.
You can use -i if you don't care about case sensitive.

oclvanitygen -id 0 1Sitonmyface

Which estimates 5678 years. Much more doable.

All these time estimates are based on 50% chance of finding.

I just updated my vanitygen to 0.19 so I could try the new third-party mode. It works and I thought I'd post how I used it here. It would be much safer for those wanting to make vanity addresses for others. And it's fairly easy to do.

1. Client who wants vanity goes to bitaddress.org and generates an address/key pair. Save this safely for later. Plug private key into wallet details tab and see that a "hex format public key" is shown on two lines. Send those two lines of hex to the "guy doing vanity gen".

2. Vanity gen guy starts oclvanitygen with -P option and pastes in the given hex key (one line each combining into one long key, it can't handle the line break). Generate the addresses and send to the client. These addresses have only a "partial key" and aren't usable alone.

(note, I found it easier to put the hex key in a file and use a cmd like " oclvanitygen -d 0 -P `cat keyfile` 1Love " which worked fine and allows for automating the process)

3. Client has to plug the partial key and the original key he saved above into keyconv program to give him the full private key. A windows binary of this utility is available on the vanitygen github but for other OS it's a bit of a problem if the client can't compile easily.

eg.
keyconv -c
(outputs new vanity address and full key)

I don't think the client needs the original key after this - as he has a new vanity address/key that works standalone - unless maybe to request more addresses safely.

I requested a partial key sum function on bitaddress.org so this last step could be dead easy too. We'll see.

Right, but I built it for mac. Is there a command or flag to make oclvanitygen work?

If you have an OpenCL GPU you can use oclvanitygen by adding -d 0 to the command line to use GPU #0 (or whatever)

I don't know anything about Macs.

Coinabul how many hashes/second are you getting?

Floating around 100 Kkey/s

You want to use oclvanitygen instead to use the GPU. I get 16Mkey/s with a Gtx 560ti.

Or you already know this and are limited by hardware.

How?

I'm assuming you compiled from here https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen so oclvanitygen should have been built?

Right, but I built it for mac. Is there a command or flag to make oclvanitygen work?

Ahh, I built ocl separately. That has boosted it up to 200kkey/s

There are Windows-built binaries for oclvanitygen floating around the interwebs somewhere.

Ah, OK. My cheap XFX 6770 gets around 12-13 Mkey/s with oclvanitygen for your reference.

Wow...I haven't owned a real computer for almost 10 years...just laptops and dinky things. I can't wait until I have both the time and money to build my own systems again.

Well, now I feel bad.

Thanks!

These will make great demo keys to show people how fast one can turn a Bitcoin into cash. Imagine if the first time you saw Bitcoin, it was by someone logging into Gox, redeeming a private key and selling at market rate...it would be very fast and quite impressive I should think.

What hardware are you running?

The crappy type

I also just hit my message cap for the hour. I'll send you the next two keys in 4 minutes.

Lol. Many thanks!

I had vanitygen compiled on my Mac laptop...in my downloads folder, which I emptied literally today. I had been meaning to generate a few more in the near future...I remember what a pain it was to compile on a Mac in the first place. I had the ocl version running. The make files didn't work back then...and I don't know make at all.

Effing PM system.

Have an email?

Pm'd

will that work for you?
