Really? ...

Do you have the links to the faster ones?

The groundwork was laid a long time ago.

https://github.com/Telariust/VanitySearch-bitcrack

Faster, with multi gpu support. Take existing code and make the tweaks one wants/needs. Much easier to understand and tweak vs bitcrack, IMO. Pool operator can verify that it is faster as well. It also supports the newer cards, 30xx series.

Which pool are you looking at/working with?

Agreed about pools/software/code.
I'd prefer a pool for BSGS attacking the puzzle addresses with known pubkeys; but I am a shade tree coder. I can follow code and make some tweaks here and there to try and get what I want the program to do.

I am not a coder - just tinker ...

I have coders working/helping in a team. They are the REAL professionals in this space, not me. I am however the idea and deal maker. The owner and the visionary behind all that has been built thus far. Always looking and listening and always taking on board advice from the professionals that do the work and code that I need.

In saying this though, I know nothing of a pool system that crunches these keys. If I did, I would have one setup a long time ago - all open source.

I guess the difference is that when you trust the pool operator/owner, then that is the point of failure, but also the strength if that person is solid.

There are ways to increase the compute power by levels of magnitude, and I know what some of those are, but need the coders to do the coding to bring these things to life. I guess when I am more serious about committing resources to such a project, I will look for more of those type of coders. Till then, is there any Pool Software at all that could be setup for complete transaprency of what is being done?
