Before Quantum is a project that focuses on using distributed GPU computing to find Bitcoin private keys that were generated with weak randomness between 2009 and 2012. The early wallet software had issues with predictable random number generators. Anyone else looking into this?

Checked out the site but it's closed source... major red flag for me. Honestly, I’m skeptical. Anyone else share this concern?
I looked at the site too. Got some GPUs lying around but not sure if I wanna jump in yet. Feels risky.
And you’re cool with targeting someone else's wallets? That’s just theft, man. I mean, wouldn’t it be nice if the software actually helps clear out the wallets of those who are careless? Just saying.
Your project sounds off to me. Some of those wallets belong to exchanges... good luck trying to take anything from them. Not gonna be easy.
