Hello my friend, your program is not working correctly, you could not go over 35%. I went over with a speed of 1600 Mkey, and in 8 hours about 46,000,000,000,000 passwords, our final range of 18446744073709551615 turns out, 5 more numbers in front, this is a lot.

Maybe my maths is wrong, I certainly mess things up with the hex-dec conversions... Maybe it's more like 17%?

My BitCrack console window currently says:

Code:
Ellesmere        768 / 8192MB | 1 target 150.12 MKey/s (1,655,689,975,443,750,912 total) [15:17:01:05]

So if I am reading this correctly, that's 1.65 x 10^18 keys checked.

And the keyspace is approx 9.22 x 10^18 in size?  I used a hex calculator to subtract the ff[..] from 80[..] and came up with that number in decimal equivalent.  Maybe that's where I went wrong
