Does anyone know of people out there attempting to brute force random addresses (no prior information at all, just hoping for a miracle)
I throw random private keys (and brute force variants) at a known hash160. Fun, but totally psycho.
Doing about 4 billion hashes per slow CPU core per day, and usually 12 or more cores running.
Such a waste of time and energy, but I continue to senselessly tweak my code.
