Sorry, noob here. This doesn't look like a private key and when put into bitcoin address it says invalid. What am I missing?

Can you explain this further please? How do you know which blocks contains keys the pool has found?

If someone found a valid key and just let it go and kept colliding, would you know about it?

I run...


and I get...

I never set an ID or password previously and when I try to set something like this, I get the "server doesn't like us. Answer:wrong secret.". How can I get up and running? Sorry for the noob question.

This is nice since once the pool finds more we can extrapolate and glean some valuable information about the feasibility of this project.

On the other hand, it appears that the private key was communicated to you so in theory you could swipe any funds the pool finds. This is concerning. Am I missing something?

How do we know? Is it on the stats page?

What is the issue with applying your code to oclvanitygen instead of vanitygen? From what I understand you're unloading a pre-determined list into RAM and checking to see if any match, right?

Also, i LOVE the name haha

Without GPUs, i feel like this will take too long and people would lose interest. Really need to get this working with GPUs instead of CPUs. We really need to decide on a number, say 0.0001% of possible keyspace or something, and see how many collisions are found. We could extrapolate that number to the rest of the available keyspace and determine how feasible and attack would i.e. how much money would need to be spent, what type of equipment, etc.

I think we'll find that it's very infeasible, but I (and presumably you) could not find any actual data on this which is why it makes it interesting!

As for this code being dangerous, i mean i guess, but a quick search on Google shows that tools for hacking loaded keys already exist for free (Hashbasher is shared on this forum) and I haven't heard of anyone ever having coins taken from cold storage. However, if someone did win the cosmic lottery then it would be difficult to prevent them from taking the coins. I have never heard of a cold wallet being drained so I think the chances of this are similar to the chances of finding a collision in the first place.

I have invested in quite a few businesses and I must say, I DO NOT feel like this is a scam like some people above are saying. It is clear, to me at least, that Benny is an honest businessman that actually updates shareholders, unlike many other CEOs. I mean if this was a scam, Benny could've ran right after LitecoinGlobal closed back in October of last year. Many reputable users have visited the BAH facility and the Amazon page has plenty of legitimate sales.

To the sceptical users: I really do appreciate the detective work and valid questions/concerns. There can never be too much of this, but raising a concern and immediately screaming 'scam' not only doesn't give Benny the time to address your concerns/provide evidence, but it also creates uncertainty for potential investors in a legitimate company (unless those valid concerns are not properly addressed). I myself ask questions, wait 2-3 days and if the person (in this case Benny) responds to another questions posted after me, then I start freaking out. This has not happened with BAH so please let Benny gather evidence and address the valid concerns you raise. Thanks.

This fuckin guy

TOR??

I HIGHLY doubt it.

Ahh, I was confused.

Thanks!

I thought it was bonus day? 192 per block is the standard right??

Thanks for the nodes! It's working now.

I need nodes!!!

Sounds interesting. I like the initial distribution concept!

BTC-e pleeeeeease

I recently began learning more about POS mining as opposed to POW mining, and believe that POS mining is the future. The problem that I've seen so far (most recently NXT) is initial distribution. What if every single person on earth is assigned the same amount of coins, that could then be exchanged an used? The individual's retina would be the 'private key' and the address would be the hash of their retina.

Just an idea that popped into my head that I thought I'd run by all of you
