Finally got vanitygen AND oclvanitygen to start at a custom integer for the private key

I had some weird issue before with the POINT or the GROUP functions. That and I am really not good with Pointers.

Now just need to do some Optimizations to make it go faster.

Really hope to solve the 51st part of the puzzle.

I've got a 4 GPU rig sitting here doing nothing.

Yeah I can't get it to work under windows for my GPUs. For some reason CYGWIN only seems the CPU.

So far scanning the 51st key

10 billion keys scanned and haven't hit it yet. Way too slow with CPU.


EDIT:

Scanned 42 Billion keys and not hit yet. I started with hex 6000000000000, which is 50% in the middle of the range.

Still working on getting the GPU miner to work however running into issues and rather not resort to Linux at the moment.


2nd EDIT:

I decided to abandon this project. Basically can't get Oclvanitygen to work in Windows with sequential search and the speeds seem very slow when using a 1x riser. It would take too long to find the 51st key and 52nd and 53rd would take months.
