I want to test maybe 10-15x more close to 1B addresses. Machine specs 50TB SSDs, 128 RAM. How should I proceed, just generate a large .txt file and see if it works? I doubt .txt files can handle that much data...
yes, small key sizes as in 20^35 - 2^40 keysize. How much of an impact has the size of the key? As in the smaller the key, the larger the amount of xpoints or addresses the tool can work with? Or even if the key is really small like 123*G it's still going to search forever within a large dataset of addresses...
Bitcoin addresses are about 52 characters long so if you're dealing with 1 billion of them you are looking at 53-54 GB text file (including the new line, and if you're using Windows there's also a carriage return before the new line). As long as you are not opening that thing using Notepad and you got 64GB of RAM to spare, then you should not have any problems with memory.
