Itod, you realize that the software you're running is indistinguishable from a cracker of EC keys, right? I mean no real reason to believe that anyone will find anything, but...

I disagree, I would never run an EC kracker but I'm running this, thinking of it as a statistical analysis tool.

I think I've pointed out the fraud in this thread clearly enough. The impression was made that this tool was able to find the private keys of some portion of random keys enough for shill demonstrations in this thread. I posted 200,000 keys with a substantial bounty for giving me the private key of any one of them. Evil, where is my private key? You said your software takes a few minutes please either solve one of the keys I posted or admit that you cannot and that people have been mislead by this thread.

I really can't understand where do you see the fraud in this. Guy paid his due yesterday, and he said that he will continue paying until he spends 10 BTC. I'll let you know immediately if me misses todays payment. Those 10 BTC have to come from somewhere, and although the thread title is a bit on the high tone, he haven't said a single lie in the explanation. Regarding your challenge to him, it's a really a low blow because he never, ever said he can crack usual private/public keypair. All he said is if you generate the private key, who's 1/8 of the corresponding public key matches the 5000 values he gave - he will crack your keypair in minutes. There's no point in challenging someone to do what he never claimed he could do.
