which is the best gpu do run this program...?? any suggestions ..??
The more recent your NVIDIA GPU is, it usually has more CUDA cores which speeds up key searching?
I would like to know about how Save/load progress from FILE works?
EDIT: I couldn't even get past the CUDA toolkit installation stage because it was hanging on checking system requirements, sorry.
It happened to me aswell but finally got Cuda 10.1 installed and can run BitCrack successfully.
How long did it take you? I quitted the installer after 20 minutes to be honest. I'm 100% sure my disk and cpu (or memory for that manner but installers never use a lot of memory) are not a bottleneck.
The progress file just contains the information in RunConfig struct
https://github.com/brichard19/BitCrack/blob/2f66852015d05441df2db7d9bd2b243f0836dd69/KeyFinder/main.cpp#L23-L56 : the start, next and end key, the number of threads, blocks and points per thread, times representing status and checkpoint intervals (I think they are times between printing program status to console and the save file respectively), decide number and total keys and a few other parameters.
It's saved periodically in the save file so that BitCrack can continue its progress without starting all over if it crashes abnormally.
