Just some dumb questions, how fast do you think your program could take to crack a wallet in real time? I mean, in general topics, bruteforcing even knowing specific parameters would still take a very long time plus the computing capacity of one's device. Hence, does this tool really is useful to be applied on certain situations?

Cool thing that you made this on both GO prog language and uploaded on github. Some users are so sus when they upload just plain scripts without descriptions. Your work is easy to understand and comprehend. Good job!

Thank you for your comments.

I added bloomfilter to the project.

I have a 16-core processor and can now test +40k wallets per second.

You can access the current project from the github link and give an idea for more performance.

Bloomfilter has the disadvantage of giving false positives.
As a solution, I make a second query in the sqlite database.
The rate of giving false positives is very low, but if such a situation occurs, I take a second query in the sqlite database and reach the final result.
