Let's discuss the Pollard's kangaroo script from 57fe since it is not possible to register on its forum. Has anyone managed to increase the speed above 150k? And who understands, explain what the lines mean 5-8:

modulo = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2F
order = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141
Gx = 0x79BE667EF9DCBBAC55A06295CE870B07029BFCDB2DCE28D959F2815B16F81798
Gy = 0x483ada7726a3c4655da4fbfc0e1108a8fd17b448a68554199c47d08ffb10d4b8

This is the easiest part Grin

All these integers are determined by bitcoin mathematics in ECDSA. Gx and Gy are x, y coordinates of the base point (G) which is used to produce private key. Modulo is the mod of the field (like border). Order is the order of the fiels, i.e the total number of points of ECDSA curve.

if I want to look for any other bitcoin key (I guess it takes a very long time), I do not need to change these lines? Only lines 168-176 and 178?
