I wish directory.go all key generator had function to generate keys by choosing pattern it seems to be much faster than oclvanitygen but the problem is how to check the matches since u get around 100mb- 1 gb file per second in generatated keys depend on hardware... has anyone tryed to edit ?
does anyone use brainflayer to generate keys ? have u solved problem how to make all cores work in one operation ? its a bad thinng u can only use 1 core per operation , wish i could start all 32 cores in same time.
Your method (sequential search of private keys for a vanity address) is not faster than oclvanitygen. Just try and find something harder like 1ZeusLight.... and come back here when you find one and tell us how long it took your method to find it.
yes if will take unlimited of time of course..
So, you see then: 1ZeusLight is something that oclvanitygen can do (in a "reasonable" amount of time) but it is too hard for your method and would take a very unreasonable amount of time to find.
Also, if you were really serious about finding 1ZeusLight then you could go pay for the Vanitygen POOL to find it for you. That way you would have a whole bunch of people working on it in parallel. The pool would find it even faster.
I asked how long here:
