I'm trying with the Pollard Kangaroo script. Let's see how much it'll take  Cheesy

Isn't it inaccurate for higher bit counts?

[bits] 2^62 (warn: too big!)

It's also very slow, at least for lower bits (3+ hours to crack 50 bits). BSGS cracked 50 bits in 94 seconds, but it needs exponentially growing amounts of memory.
