Which software you talk about? Is there any other reliable "sequential key checker"?

Is it sequential? I thought it spread out the threads according to -b - t- -p numbers...I am sure it does spread out, then check sequentially. The other software is the modified vanity search and keyhunt.

You talk about technical implementation, I was talking about the way how it works. Of course if you have 2 threads, work must be somehow divided, but the idea is to check each key from A to B. Then there is stride, where you do not check "each" key, but still you decide which ones should be tested. I bet you see the difference comparing for example to Kangaroo, where tests are random (where BTW I have also implemented stride, for WIF solving).
Using "stride" or "random" mode as a shortcut to finding a key is just a playing a lottery.
I did not check yet VanBitCracken, but as I briefly see it is not a piece of brand new software, just a modified/patched version of old programs. Hard to say as there are no sources.

I was not referring to VanBitCracken, it is "outdated"; I was talking about new mods for VS and KeyHunt cuda; both many times faster than bitcrack. That is all.

As you know, Kangaroo starting points are random but once they start, they are no longer random.

Pawgo, you know we have talked in the past and I have tested your programs and posted results; I honestly do not know how the kangaroo stride version could help speed up search time or how to really implement it to work better than original kangaroo, as far as time finding key.
