6 Percent is here. At current speed we should see 7 percent in about 43 days. GO TEAM!!
I just updated the download section of the pool. Hopefully making it easier to understand. I also created an easy to use auto setup script for vast instances. I was inspired by Ervings on that. Try it out and let me know what you think. Also please use the provided reference link when creating a vast account or buying credit. Thanks everyone!
Congrats to everyone for crossing the 7% mark. At current speed we should see 8 percent in 10.3 days. :)
Lets spin the wheels of this motha! Bottle neck fixed. I increased submission time by a factor of about 1000.
I just uploaded version 66.1 of the vanity client for Windows, Linux, and Vast.
Biggest new feature is sequential range mode. The client will pick a random start range and then run ranges sequentially as long as you let it run. Put seq on line 5 instead of ranges number to enable.

Put up a link to some 66 bit Pool Swag. Proceeds go towards supporting the pool. I am also planning to do a give away for some of the swag. Details will come to celebrate our 3 millionth range being checked soon. I am thinking about selecting 10 ranges at random and who ever completes those ranges will get free stuff for fun.
I'm a little late here but congrats on passing 9 percent. At current speed we should see 10% in about 7.5 days.
I have been working on client private key encryption the last week or so and am going to be slowly rolling it out to the download section. Right now I have it for Nvidia Linux and Vast configurations. Shortly after I have it working for all client versions I will faze out legacy plain text submissions. More info to follow.
The 66.2 Linux 22.04 Bitcrack client is up on the pool now with the new features. I also removed the ability to select nvidia cards since they are better off ran with vanity. Feed back is welcome as always.
All clients updated to 66.2 with key encryption. Please try them. Once I feel comfortable everything is working well I will announce when the legacy clients no longer be used. I also built all gpus into the windows and the linux versions so we should not need multiple versions .
I put a real time range submission percentage of users using the updated client vs the old on the pool. I am going to make the switch required by 11%. I will send out an email tomorrow to users that might not frequent this chat. If you have already upgraded I would recommend reinstalling because I have made some tiny cosmetic changes to the clients. I think I finally have them working and looking identical between platforms.
After some discussion and feed back from the sites top 10 contributors we have decided to implement a key finder bonus. 1% of the funds from the real time active top 10 contributors will go to anyone who finds the bit 66 private key for the pool except the current top 10 at the time the key is found. Real time bonus amount is now displayed in pool.
I have updated vanitysearch in all releases to version 1.17. This biggest change is hugely improved cpu consumption. It is practically nothing now thanks to input from Andrew. I also improved cosmetics some more. Removed double printing speed and added a percentage. Woot Woot!! Reminder of the upgrade requirement by 11%.
Last reminder that in about 30,000 ranges (11%) I will be disabling legacy client support from the pool server. Normal client configs will get a server message and stop. Those of you who loop (Against my wishes) the client will continue to be doing work that will not get counted until corrected. Winning key scanning will still function.
Transistion complete and rolling out vanity 1.18. Improved key security in both high and low cpu usage for windows. Upgraded clients should reach 100 percent in less then an hour. Thanks everyone and congrats on 11 percent very shortly.
Congrats on exactly 1/8th of all ranges being checked by our pool!
