Won't solve the issue.
Don't know but your previous speed doesn't sound right for an old i3 CPU from 2012 (
third-gen maybe) when searching for '1*'.
You'll likely get 1000-2000 per update of "
Found" at best (
based from my PC w/ i3-4130 procie).
Other than the additional
-c which is unnecessary for a wildcard prefix, I can't find any issues with the command you're using.
If you previously used an older version with faster result, then downgrade to that.
The weird thing is, your processor can search for Million keys per second, while it can only "
no-prefix-search" random address & key pair @ thousands per second.
Perhaps it's not meant for that use-case.I swear to god it used to find 20000k addresses per second.
As soon as I started the software, in the first second it showed [Found 21529], as example. The next second was [Found 37176], as example. That's nearly 20k per second.
I checked the text file and it indeed contained almost 40k PUBLIC addresses only. Yes, it did 20k per second.
The weird thing is that it does not do that anymore, and it only does around 600 Addresses per second with THE SAME settings.
This is why I'm asking, I haven't done any OS updates since then. One day it just stopped finding 20k per second, and it did only around 600.
I used VanitySearch 1.18 but I also tried other versions. Same result - around 600 addresses per second, not 20k as it used to do a while back.
It's weird.
