Okay, I've runs some tests and what I've noticed is:
My antivirus is acting up whenever I'm using vanitysearch, it's not detecting anything but it's consuming a lot of resources.
Much higher than what Vanitysearch is using; so I've included it to my AV's "
exceptions list".
And it worked!
What's the best way of maximizing the generation speed ? Is there any good config out there?
Somehow, vanitysearch isn't using all of the cores or even processing power when using that command, there should be something wrong.
Whatever the reason is, I've tried to use 1 thread and it resulted with a slightly slower rate (
just about -10%).
So, try to run 3-4 instances of Vanitysearch running with the same command but pointing to different output files.
Creating batch files is a good shortcut to do this, eg.:
instance1.bat
vanitysearch -t 1 -o output1.txt 1*
instance2.bat
vanitysearch -t 1 -o output2.txt 1*
instance3.bat
vanitysearch -t 1 -o output3.txt 1*
...And so forth
Each instance will be slower than a solo instance but overall number of generated addresses and keys could be higher.
