Anyone want to work 1qwertyuiop with me for a month or so and profit split?
I'll be running 2x v100s to solve.
Reward is 1.2BTC
AFAIK, VanitySearch can't connect systems together as nodes to divide the keys among for searching, it can only run an independent search when multiple systems are involved. So how are you going to make this work out without you and your prospective partner(s) searching a bunch of duplicate keys?
mutual trust or remote console proofing
*I highly doubt there will be duplicates lol - odds are almost 0
** But you've sparked an idea ! What if we could submit worked keys to a live server that other workers are working too? Or remote cluster our machines together to generate a single kps output? You know make vanitypool a solve pool too.
I love the idea but I just did a quick estimate based on my RTX 2070 which gives a 50% probability in 177.7 years using VanitySearch.
177.7years x 365.24days/year x 24hrs/day x 0.175Watts x 0.10 dollars/kWh =
27259.32 dollars and the 1.2 BTC prize is currently worth ~
28240 dollars (from Preev.com)
Even if we were lucky, splitting the prize would more than likely result in a loss; I chose 0.10 $/kWh as n nice easy number to work with but my electricity is almost 0.20 $/kwhr and some are even higher. The average American pays 13 cents per kWh (electricchoice.com/electricity-prices-by-state/) for electricity.
