good evening to all enthusiasts.
I found many versions and modifications of this project. In addition to the original branch from the respected brichard19, I found a branch with a random search. Should I use it? the better or worse it is.
in the original branch, everything is simple (start + step + step + N step)
random points are generated in the branch. but I don’t understand after the generation, the search proceeds further by random choice or also (random point + step + step + N step)
Are you talking about the points being chosen by an RNG? I am not totally sure how long does the process of generating random numbers takes because I haven't measured it, but I'd say it could take a noticeable percentage of the time it takes to check a private key.
I still feel like pregenerating a bunch of keyspace ranges beforehand and passing those to bitcrack serially is a better approach at randomization than generating a random number 2^X times per second (X is an arbitrary number proportional to the speed of your GPU).
Anyway it would be nice if you linked that version of Bitcrack you're talking about so we can take a look at it's commit history to see what it changed.
