clbitcrack has always had issues, still does, and did you change the compute_cap in your makefile,
otherwise compiling the cubitcrack won't succeed. even if succeeded won't work with your hardware.
change it accordingly to your hardware.

I didn't change the compute_cap value and was still able to compile cubitcrack on windows simply by updating the references to CUDA 10.1 to 11.2 and making sure project resources were in the correct locations. I'm not able to actually run it because of the "misaligned address" error, so I am using clbitcrack instead until someone is able to fix cubitcrack and allow it to run again with CUDA 11.2+.

In the meantime, what issues should I expect clbitcrack to have running on Windows? I'm not working with any P2SH addresses. What other issues would cause clbitcrack to not find a private key, as @yoyodapro mentioned?

this was the main reason i said that, besides you can test it out easily if it works o.o.t.b.

Thanks for the link, I read up on the known issue. I then performed the test with the provided list of 18 addresses using Win64 + clbitcrack + 3090 + CUDA 11.2 and it found all keys in the list.
