Hello all,

is the problem with the "illegal memory access" solved? Any what i can do from my side? I have installed the latest nvidia driver 461.09 package from ASUS webside.


Code:
D:\VanitySearch>VanitySearch.exe -gpu -i test.txt
VanitySearch v1.19
Search: 34 addresses (Lookup size 34,[1,1]) [Compressed]
Start Wed Mar 10 17:34:38 2021
Base Key: 25EE5410ED0AB4D679AD315289852E072746B55186EE8D7D336B9B996C10C8F6
Number of CPU thread: 3
GPU: GPU #0 GeForce RTX 3070 (46x0 cores) Grid(368x128)
GPUEngine: Launch: an illegal memory access was encountered

if i tray to create a single adress / key pair it works realy fast on my 3070 card, but from a input list with only 20 full adresses, the illegal memory access pops up.

Best regards,
Willi



uninstall the driver install cuda toolkit from nvidia website it comes with the drivers and see if the problem persists

driver deinstalled, CUDA pack installed, but the same problem

The problem, if I remember correctly, is the RIPEMD160 function when trying to do more than one address. So, you need to create the string function; meaning, take off like 7 or 8 characters on your addresses in your list and see if that works.

Example:
turn address:
139743984739847328974982472347398
into
1397439847398473289749824

I do not know if it works with the latest release of VanitySearch but I know it works with version 17.

i don't understand what's the point, i want to have all the addresses in the input file, if i shorten the addresses, then i can't search for the addresses anymore....

Its a laptop? If it is then this is definately related to that my desktop gpu 1060 6gb works great with cuda have you tried changing power options it might be limiting the full potential if it still doesnt work then the gpu might not support such instructions that cuda code trying to execute you may also try to uninstall if any manufacturer software that exists
