This is a general picture of the situation showing how many percent of what part of the entire range has already been scanned. The entire range of 64 is divided into 16 sub-ranges. The percentage indicator shows, for example, that the 16th part of the main range (i.e. F80000: FFFFFF) was scanned in almost 40%.
Hey, thanks for your answer. It looks like you're the one coordinating the pool. Great effort there!

Are those parts being scanned sequentially or is it random? Which I had a GPU to join you guys.

No he is not coordinating anything. He just tries to benifit from others searching.

You are absolutely right! ....By the way, I see his site is down. The f****ng pool. Each *.txt file generated by the ttdclient contains 16 ghost addresses besides the base address 16jY7qLJnxb7CHZyqBP8qca9d51gAjyXQN.
That's ridiculous.

Those "ghost" addresses are the PoW addresses. This is how the pool knows you searched the range you said you searched. If you search only 1 range at a time, there will be 1 PoW address and the target address in the .txt file.
