My machine is getting ~1 million keys per second with oclVanityGen. Not sure if it's not using my GPU or not picking optimal parameters.

Yes, your program might be useful for creating a "beautiful" Bitcoin-addresses using VanityGen, but only for that.

It's not social engineering anything. It's simply a brute-force tool.

Please don't waste your time and resources to brute force a Bitcoin private key. Let's calculate how much time you need to crack one Bitcoin-address on your machine.

You said that your performance is 9 million BTC-addresses per second, i.e. approximately 2²³ BTC-addresses per second. Thus the brute forcing will take 2^160-23 = 2¹³⁷ seconds! I guess it is more than septillion (10²⁴) years!

Note that this calculating is very approximate, because actually the private key length is 2²⁵⁶, but I think it is enough to stop making an attempts to crack Bitcoin-addresses.

this is true for manually generated addresses, but for automatic addresses, the search area is limited by the capabilities of pseudo random number generators
