I disagree.  It's still running, but seems to have less and less people running the clients. There was a core group for quite a while, but the biggest member left several months ago.

Probably the biggest thing that is contributing to the demise is Rico focusing his programming efforts elsewhere.  He's not updating the client any more, not fixing any bugs, and pretty much doesn't visit the Discord channel any more.  He's essentially abandoned the project himself. 

I have it running on several machines now.  Pulled the latest bitcoin address with balance file and am looking for anything that has 10btc or more.  Pulling in 142k addresses does knock about 10% off my hashing speed, but it's still much faster than LBC was on a P5000.  It actually uses all of the video card instead of being CPU bound.  If it could use a bloom filter like LBC does, it would be even faster and look for more.

Thanks for doing this.

I got it working on Ubuntu.  I was running LBC at the same time, and they were fighting for memory.  Still no go on the Windows version, but it's popping a CPU check error.  Might be because I'm using an integrated card for testing.  Some time this week I'll throw a couple ATI cards in the box and see if those will work through windows.

Thanks for the help and thanks for setting this up!

Fired up my Ubuntu and dowloaded the code.  Running an Nvidia card in that box.  Compiled it and ran the same command:

oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -f addresses.txt -o found.txt -k lastkey.txt 3000

Still doesn't find anything. 

What's the command you ran to have those return positive?

oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -f addresses.txt -o found.txt -k lastkey.txt 3000

Removed the leading zeros.  Capitalized the numbers.

Can you share a command line that returns a find?

lol.  I'm glad I'm not the only one that was left just scratching my head.

Hey Holy_ship, can you check on the thread about your ndv vanitygen build?  I have a couple questions in there and I can't message you because I'm still a newbie on here. 

To reiterate, using
should reveal the addresses for the first 14 puzzle transactions within seconds.  It doesn't.

It's an integrated video card.  It won't be the final machine I'll be using...just testing.

@holy_ship do you have an opinion?

Still doesn't find it.  This mean anything to you?

Hello,
I have it up and running, but want to test that it is working correctly.

I run

oclvanitygen -f addresses.txt -o found.txt -k lastkey.txt 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006bd3b27c500

and would expect it to find the private key to 1PiFuqGpG8yGM5v6rNHWS3TjsG6awgEGA1 almost immediately since the private key is 6bd3b27c591.

It doesn't.  It blows past that private key without logging anything.

It is likely I'm doing something wrong, but I can't see the trees from the forest right now.  Can you advise?

Thanks!
