Well, I guess everything is in order. It would be nice if you compiled it for the 64-bit Windows, but I don`t know whether it would increase the performance or not. Although The miner appears to work pecularly at times. Currently there are three works available, 1DanieLRH::0:0.100000; 1Satoshi::0:0.100000; 1ThePiachu::0:1.000000;, and instead of working on 1Satoshi, 7 letters, it chooses 1DanieLRH, 8 letters for the same reward. Does it just work on the first available work, or does it prioritise its work/reward ratio?

It does rank bounties by reward/difficulty. Choosing the 8 letter prefix is the best choice here, but not by much:

Code:

$ ./vanitygen 1Satoshi
Difficulty: 51529903411245
...
$ ./vanitygen 1DanieLRH
Difficulty: 50656515217834

It will also group together bounties by public key. When the 1Satoshi and 1satoshi bounties were both present, because they had the same public key, they would go into the same pattern set and would be searched for simultaneously. Also, when dealing with bounties with the same public key, the aggregate reward/difficulty is used for decision making. This would cause it to choose those two bounties together over the 1DaneiLRH bounty, if it were present.

Anyway, expect a new release in the next day or so that has an oclvanityminer64.exe.

Also a nice feature would be allowing one to specify a TestNet address for the vanitypooltest website, but that`s not really much of an issue.

You mean for the -a parameter? It should accept a testnet address there. Did it not accept one for you? It is supposed to validate that what you enter for the -a parameter is a valid address of some sort, but it won't enforce a specific address type.

So, unless someone else has some objections, I`ll send you the Bitcoins soon. What address would you like to receive them with? 1samr7UZxtC6MEAFHqr1h3Kq453xJJbe4 ?

That's the right address.
