You control how often it generates random points using the -r (rekey) feature.
My program just keeps generating random points and it will never end, until you close the program down. It will never start with random points and walk them sequentially until whole keyspace is searched.

I've tried this, but I have a question about it, when it generates random points, is it confined to the current 2^? I put in C000000000000000 as a starting keyspace, will it only generate random points within the 2^35 vs all the way up to 2^64?

For example I put a --keyspace of C000000000000000:E000000000000000, it found a key at C00000037925BAAB, does this imply it's presently not searching in a higher range in the keyspace?

Also, is it completely random? As I've stopped and restarted, and always find the same key when using -r.

The Spread version does not work the random I have spoke about, Spread acts as normal, starts at start range and progresses the same way each time.
Go to Random version:

I haven't had time to upload how to use the flags. But if you reread:

Quote

top range/keyspace/beginning range you want to start with
800000
so that is a 24 bit top range

You define if you want random keys generated in all of 24 bit range by selecting subrange of 23; now it will generate random points from 8000000 through FFFFFF
if you wanted to search subrange of 16 bit you select subrange of 16; now it will generate random points from 8000000 through 80FFFF

You control how often it generates random points using the -r (rekey) feature.

You will have an understanding.

use -topr for toprange such as -topr 800000
use -subr for subrange (in bits) such as -subr 16
use the -r to tell program how often to regen new random points within that range such as -r 1200 (every 1200,000,000 keys)

With that setup, the program will generate random points from 800000 to 80FFFF.

Try it let me know how it works for you and if you have any questions.
