I don't understand thoroughly the algorithm Embarrassed
can you explain in short why the size of RAM matters in this algorithm?
I thought it just generates privkey hex sequentially, finds corresponding pubkey and compares it to target pubkey

You could look up the algorithms here: https://www.math.auckland.ac.nz/~sgal018/crypto-book/crypto-book.html
BSGS is in chapter 13.3
When memory is limited - Distributed Kangaroo in chapter 14.6
