Re: Searching (who am I kidding, crack) private keys using FPGA and mining chips
Now it contains specialized hashing chips (ASIC). It is a little more expensive than mining chips, but faster. Power consumption is reduced to ~90W per device. This solution allows to use of passive convection cooling or simple external airflow.
And still no performance data
There is no need for FPGA/ASIC for secp256k1. Just use as many cores you can get.
90 Watt?
Running a ESP32 cluster will outperform this fancy "Schatzgraber".
ESP32 is 2 core 240MHz at 37mA for under 1 USD.
