Suggestions are always welcome.

The brute force way: Start @ ~607809 (multiplied the last known value by 1.7) convert to hex, create addresses, check if one address matches the next in turn.



What would be the best tool to attack this in a brute force way while we all think on something better or discover a easier way?

Some GPU bot would be the best to brute force it, like shorena was saying.

Need to code one, but I'm not in the mood now Smiley

Anyone out there doing it? Or maybe there is something existing?

I think the best existing tool currently is yours or otherwise private. I would think the best way would be to modify (ocl)vanitygen according to BurtW's suggestion. You would need to limit the random number generator to a certain amount of bits and keep the rest.
