Rx480 has  a limit ... You can't have  -t  higher than 256.

Oh ... it changes the form of things :-) well ... I wanted better :-)

Is there someone here who would be able to convert the counting number of scanned keys in BitCrack into a counter showing the number of REMOTE keys to be scanned along with the estimated remaining time to complete? It would be more interesting information than the amount that was scanned. Unfortunately, I do not know the programming language completely, and my knowledge ends at the stage of compiling a ready solution with possible code change in the sources. I would be grateful for such a small addition.


Please checkout the branch "remaining" at https://github.com/pikachunakapika/BitCrack. It also includes my changes for random starting points. With -r you get no ETA and remaining count.

it does not work.
By firing "from scratch" on a clean script for the scope --keyspace 01000000000000000: 01FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF --share 41/160, the estimated time is 1.75 months. Using the --continue file which contains the starting point at half of what I initially set (just: in a situation where 50% of the range has already been scanned) - the counter gives 1.75 months. This is not something here .... since I've scanned 50% ... it can not be that it will take as long as it will last as if I started scanning from now on again Smiley The -r option can not be used because it does not work with "- -continue "and not using this option at this level is probably a waste of time.
