For the #39, it took the 1060 6GB card exactly 44 seconds to find the key.  Start to finish = 44 seconds, with 1 card. Grid size of 3072x512.
sp, is 44 seconds good on an old 1060 card?

No it is slow. should run under 100ms. You can retrieve the precalculated keys from https://privatekeys.pw/ . Since the answer to the puzzle is already known and can be precalculated.

Back to the speed of my bitcrack implementation.

puzzle 39:  2^39  = 549 755 813 888 possible combinations

with a speed of 400 000 000 (400MKeys)

puzzle #38: 274 877 906 944 / 400 000 000 = 1374 seconds (around 12minutes)
puzzle #39: 549 755 813 888 / 400 000 000 = 1374 seconds (around 23minutes)

With 400mkeys and solving puzzle 39 You would expect the program to spend 12-23 minutes. The hashes used to find the solution is printed in the miner window and the speed can easily be verified. Bitcrack sp-mod is working. I see that my fanclub is present already. I welcome you all. Go crack some keys.
The next version will come with more speed.


It is slow? Yet my program found the key in 44 seconds but yours took around 10 minutes? 
So you are telling everyone how fast your mod is but it takes your mod over 10 times longer to find the same key, with a better GPU than the one I am using?

My GPU only gets 113 MKey/s and still found the key to #39 in under a minute. But that is slow? But your mod takes 23 minutes and it's fast?
