Yeah, seems like it could be a cool project/spiritual cousin however, I am not sure I trust the math/numbers that his program is showing lol

Code:
GPU          : GPU #0 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (46x128 cores) Grid(256x256)
  Base Key     : Randomly changes 65536 start Private keys every 1,000,000,000 on the counter
  ROTOR Random : Min 42 (bit) 20000000000
  ROTOR Random : Max 42 (bit) 3FFFFFFFFFF

  [00:01:39] [R: 392] [3D70309E4B8] [F: 0] [GPU: 573.08 Mk/s] [T: 4,623,532,294,144]

Let me know when you see it lol.

ha - great eye - yeah, the total completed and hashrate do not jive with the time completed.

it will be 2023 in a few days and progress bars, time remaining and items complete (simple division) remain of the bane of meaningful UI feedback.  Funny, though the version I built didn't seem to have a fairytale hash rate but it also didn't have what I was looking for in terms of gpu-accelerated random-private key production. The key assembly is still CPU bound from vectors of gpu-built device_vector of 16 or 32 bit-length unsigned ints.  Mildy sympathetic.. I haven't figured out a pure GPU method of initial key production, either.
