Rico666 i watch you work long time ago and its so good, but what about bitcrack adoption to your pool ? Why not ? It will have moar power and we can solve puzzel really fast ? I think this is the next stage of bitcoin soon or later pepople will start to brute keys, also im wondering is it possible to adopt fpga cluster to mine keys what do u think ?
Well, first off - if bitcrack did all the work LBC is doing (watching all 16M addresses AND computing compressed and uncompressed addresses), the speed difference would not be that big anymore.
The reason people use bitcrack is just because of the usual little greedy minds of the common crypto crowd: quick buck from the puzzle transaction bitcoins. As I mentioned before, with that approach something falls through the cracks and LBC finds what bitcrack misses.
Second, I believe I could write (with the help of certain 1-2 people I know) something much faster than bitcrack. Essentially a LBCv2 doing as usual a complete search (all addresses, all privkeys sequentially) - way faster than bitcrack, but I'm working now on bigger things, so LBC has not the priority.
So LBC also watch all generated keys and check 4 funds ? Are u find some other puzzels like this or this is the only one ? Anyway you do great work with lbc i watch the project since 2018 summer and always thinking for fpga priv8 key mining but still think is useless. I hope u big project to be 160bit key bruteforce
Are u think its possible to bruteforce 160 bit key for example first adresses where satoshi mine blocks with current hardware tehcnology ?
