Thanks for the response.
Curiosity question; do you notice a speed difference if you have say a 1Gb bloom versus the full 8Gb bloom you are running? Or is it the same speed no matter how large/how many h160s the bloom contains?
I will try and start small; create a smaller bloom first (30M h160s), run it, see if I notice a speed increase and make sure I understand/get the process right.
Well 1GB will let you check 30-50M high-value btc addresses. Original brainflayer was 512MB, 15M addresses.
The speed is the same, the checks are both exactly the same, all that can be said is that one there are different RAM in-memory requirements.
The 8gb is to do all 300M known btc addresses, all at once.
Study the source code for the bloom-filters (hex2blf) its in the .H files, its just static serial compares, in both cases the run-time test count is the same, so there is little delay difference, given its all in memory that is all equal as well.
