256 card x Tesla V100 32GB is close to or around 300 billion keys per second. I'm going after a 256 bit key with cpu now.

Can 256 card x Tesla V100 32GB try with 64 bit puzzle #64 still can not crack in one day.

and still can not crack 120 bit puzzle #120 by kangaroo

need to discover other algorithms more

No, it would take up to 2 years or a little bit more to search the whole space of 2^64 with 256 card x Tesla V100 32GB.

Why are people still mass-buying V100s to throw at Kangaroo, when it doesn't have a deficiency like Bitcrack has?

IMO, it makes sense to splash on T4 or A100 cards which are fraction faster than the V100.

Or is it because most vendors are still stuck selling V100 GPUs and don't want to invest on newer GPUs? It's the only way you could possibly get a hold of 256 V100s in the first place.
