  Results of RTX4090 is something of beautiful ! But, what do you mean when you say 7.7 Gkey/s?

Because what I understand is that you anaylize and execute 7.7 Ghash/sec of ripemd160(sha256(publickeycompressed(privatekey)), is it right?

No, I wish we could get that speed, then #66 would be in reach!

Remember, in Kangaroo, we are looking for distinguished points of the x point. So to keep it simple, it’s publickey(privatekey) and check for x amount of trailing distinguished points (could be leading DPs as well).
The more complicated are the jumps but really it’s a set stride(s) that all Kangaroos follow…a path of sorts, until a wild one lands on a tame one.

The wilds require one extra calculation but it’s either one more step of adding or subtracting, based on your version of Kangaroo.
