Good program, solid work.
I placed several addresses randomly in a database, specified a keyspace somewhere nearby and got a hit on every single one - 100% reliable.
Using a RTX 2080 with -b 224 -t 256 -p 1024 (compressed) gives me 820MKey/s with up to 50k addresses, and 370MKey/s at a 400k database.
Well, the MKey/s counter is bugged, it doesn't match the elapsed in the "--continue FILE", which doesn't match with the overall progress, but that's not a problem at all.
has anyone been able to get bitcoin from this method?
NOPE. And i am damn sure that i am not speaking just for myself, because the possibility is like winning the lottery 50 times in a row. Get a calculator and find out for yourself.
But it is interesting, as a hobby, and you can replace the database with whatever you like, so, maybe it's useful someday.
Have you tried to multi box millions of these scripts at the same time? and have them in cahoots with each other so they don`t try the same key
If you had slush pools cpu power it would not take long you could probably run a trillion at the same time and if they are storing used keys to a blockchain or data base, it will cut the time down by a shit load.
Infact cold wallet keys might be less safe than a hot wallet with a key mixer that changes the password every few seconds.
At least until they add blockPOP or blockPOH where you become the key.
You could also use fingerprint captcha`s.
