With data from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4453897.msg55552855#msg55552855 and https://vast.ai/, here's rough cost estimation using single RTX 2080 Ti at cost $0.332/hour

Code:

58^11 / 631.57 MKeys/s
= 24986644000165537792 / 631570000
= 39562746805.84185 second
= 10989651.89 hours

Code:

10989651.89 * $0.332 = $3,648,564.4 (about 87 BTC when i write this post)

Using my program numbers look more optimistic:
on vast.ai single rtx3090 costs 0.414, single rtx3080Ti costs 0.314. I think their performance is similar (maybe paying 25% less for 3080Ti makes sense, I do not know now).
On rtx3090 I measured performance around 3450Mkeys. It gives 58^11/3450000000Mkeys/3600s = 2011807 hours => $832 888
Anyway, the question is where to find - let's say - 6000 cards to solve it in +-2 weeks...
