Understood...I posted a quite unrealistic scenario. Let's dial it down back to earth and try again.
1. How many x points could bitCrack / keyHunt, etc work with, saved in a dataset, to find small size keys within a reasonable amount of time (less than 24 hours). We can assume that the application is running on a high-end computer with a large amount of RAM and disk space. Does anyone have any experience with this? Would you be able to provide the results and the specifications of the machine used?
2. Same question for using addresses instead of points.
Thank you!!
