Its good for all quote this thread

I tried to search for a specific wallet address just for fun, and it the program crashed. It was not until i removed 6 characters from the end of the public address did it do its thing. I know the chances of finding 1 specific public address is like winning the lottery 500 times in a row but i would like to be able to. Is my hardware the problem or the code?

Wow, I found this too late. It is truely good for those who want to have a personalized address. Cheers!

I'm constantly getting mismatched GPU/CPU hashes with oclvanitygen on my Windows (10) x64 Tech preview with Nvidia GTX 660 Ti and driver v344.11

e.g.

I hope someone can help me get this running properly. I have searched for answers to no avail.

i have the same problem, does anyone can use it on background?? :S

You must have missed the first post:


So on windows, your .bat file would look something like:
Or
To give it a nice window caption and slightly deprioritize the process.

If it's not working, I recommend that you try to get oclvanitygen working first - in case there's any issues using it with your card or having to select the right OpenCL platform.

No more than 8 characters.

I've made a vanity pool recently http://multicoinpool.org/index.php?page=vanity

I can put up the fixed vanitygen binaries if desired.

You can try playing with some of the finer parameters, but it's probably not going to get much better; even if you speed it up 2x it'll still be well over 18 months (average)

Basically the -s, -t, -g, -b parameters, there's really not much else to tweak.  A better option would be to see if you can optimize the actual code further specifically for your card.
Also use the "-F compressed" option, that should boost performance a bit further.
And if you're not already using the lifeboat version, see if that gives you a performance boost as well - though read its thread for details and possible concerns.

If you're using the oclvanityminer, then the result is automatically submitted and the pool should pay out to the address specified.


Technically it's not assigned by the pool - the utility downloads the complete list and does a calculation of which is the most profitable given reward vs difficulty (the 'lavishness') to decide on the vanity to mine for.
There's an alternative code base that has some additional control: https://github.com/WyseNynja/vanitygen/commit/fb37cfbcfaf8a6922cc2b872cb19a11fdc252c92

But if you want further control - say, only mine if a given address should be generated within a week (on average!) - you'd have to set something up manually or mess with the source code yourself.

Also just to note (though I believe you understand this, mostly repeating it here for the new eyeballs on this thread) - keep in mind that it isn't really a 'pool' so much as a distributed task.  If you don't find a requested vanity address, you get nothing, even if your machine's been powering away at it 24/7.
