Use Bitcrack v0.30 for AMD gpus. Vanitysearch doesnt support AMD, cuda only.

Running into the same issue when both running vanitysearch and bitcrack.

Using GTX 3080 and latest dotnet 6.0 SDK

Got same problem donet is last version, and in settings it is configured to use bitcrack and not vanitysearch

Using AMD or NVidia?

i've got the same problem. latest 6.0 SDK and bitcrack version 0.30. the problem is the same as above. string s.

The problem seems to be related to AMD and OpenCL. I will do a test on AMD based systems soon. I will give information about the subject.

Running into the same issue when both running vanitysearch and bitcrack.

This problem usually occurs when it cannot find the "proof of work" addresses. Is the problem resolved or is it still ongoing?
