So, what do we think the basis is for these attacks?

Hi,

Is there any harm in using the same worker for multiple machines?  I have a bunch of slow machines that I planned to use, but I didn't want to have to set a worker for each of them.  I realise that it will make troubleshooting individual machines harder, but are there any other issues?

Came across this link in another thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84569.200):
http://fizzisist.com/mining-value/

Has a dynamic graph to tell you which is more profitable at any given time. Very useful.

I have mine now (ended up just waiting for an all lowercase one), and because using CPU is much slower and regex doesn't work in the ocl version I'm not sure it's any use to me. 

That said, other in the community may find it useful!  Often people couldn't care less about the capitalization, but would want it to be at the front of the address IMHO.

As a side note, I think the pooled mining would definitely benefit from that  (and I'll post in a more appropriate forum to that effect once it picks up that I've met the requirements)

I am planning to. 

Waiting for a gfx card to arrive that should triple my hash-rate (i.e. my current group of devices are equal to the new gfx card divided by two, or close enough).  Then I plan to "race" it against the pool of devices for about a month and see the results. 

Not particularly scientific, and probably not for long enough but should give some idea.  Of course it can be skewed quite heavily by the bounties on vanity names at the time.

I couldn't find a way to put it at the beginning

Using regex
[Xx][Ii][Aa][Nn][Oo]

How about:

^1[Xx][Ii][Aa][Nn][Oo]



Sadly the program appears to ignore ^
I had tried:
^[Xx][Ii][Aa][Nn][Oo]
and I've just tried your suggestion (shortened to ^1[Xx][Ii])
and it output:

I've done some basic calculations based on my current mining rigs and as far as I can tell from a pure profit point of view you are better off "mining" vanity addresses rather than mining for bitcoins.

Views?

I wonder how many of these first 5 posts have any value at all?  Wink

I got 1xiano.... in about 2 hours on a relatively poor GPU.
If you use vanityminer (64 bit if you can), you can use regular expressions.  Means you can search case sensitive and it doesn't have to be at the beginning (infact, I couldn't find a way to put it at the beginning)

Using regex
[Xx][Ii][Aa][Nn][Oo]
i found a match in about 5 mins, even with the lower rate of using RegEx.  Sadly you can only use CPU for this!

Hi!
Been reading the forum for a while but not had much to say, wish I had realised that these restrictions existed as I would have registered earlier!
Not that I think anyone will see this post, but, there's a post in Hardware (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=121109), could someone tell him that fan sensors go all the time, usually the device will either shutdown, or as it seems in his case, spin up to 100% for protection.  The fan sensor runs down the additional wire used to connect the fan!
