Quick question, why stick with 256 for group size? Thought a higher number might be better.

Cool! Just curious, any updates on Linux? I’m interested to see performance improvements.

What’s your approach? Using affine or jacobian coordinates for the points?

I’m aiming for 2-3 days, but with my current rig, I might need 2 weeks for a 50% chance. Next focus is multi-GPU support and CUDA for Linux.

No one can accurately predict Bitcoin's moves. If it were that easy, developers would’ve figured it out by now. Bitcoin operates on its own terms, like the weather. It just keeps changing.

Can you break down your ideas a bit? Sounds interesting, but getting concepts from the code is a hassle. Not sure where to start.

They’re already sold out? Didn’t even last a week, huh?

I haven't checked since the incident, but I’ve done it monthly before, and both were fine. No hardware failures, so it’s something else.

There’s a glitch with my account. I’ve re-uploaded everything somewhere else.

Yeah, unless you’ve got a super powerful setup, it's gonna take ages. Like, years for higher ranges.

This program is really meant for 2^74-2^75 and similar ranges. CPUs aren’t really cut out for the 135th puzzle; GPUs crush it.

With this new database, I get 2.2 seconds for each key in sequential search. In parallel, it’s about 1.1 seconds. Got some slower times for higher ranges though.

I removed some options because they slowed the program down. Now the retrieval time is about 25% faster with the updated version.

Cool, could you share the command you used?

It’s 6GB, but it can handle higher ranges like 2^77 2^78 or even 2^80 2^81 with the same setup.

On my laptop with an Intel i7-12700H, it takes about 3 seconds per key. I found that searching multiple keys at once speeds things up a bit.

I was curious about how long it takes a regular PC without a GPU to fetch a key in the range of 2^74 to 2^75. So I coded my version of the kangaroo algorithm and ran some tests.

Looks fantastic! He really knows his stuff. Would love to have something like this.

Man, I remember when updates like this were groundbreaking. The Bitcoin logo has really stood the test of time compared to fiat currencies. 16 years and still going strong!

Pods are coming first, and then... miners!
