How long would it take you to verify 5,000,000,000 possibilities?

less than a second
.      

How is that done??  I guess it’s with RTX? Which one ?How many?
Using BSGS/kangaroo, you could check Tk/s (trillion keys, thousands of trillion keys per second), GPU is much faster than CPU in this case.



The script posted on previous page won't work, it's just dividing one key, in order to successfully divide a key, you'd need to make sure that the key is +n and also even, since we don't know it's odd or even, we'd have to assume our original key is odd, then we'd add 1 G to it, then divide both, we will then treat the results as same as our starting keys, adding 1 G to each one and dividing all, keeping all the keys, how many times we divided, how many G we added, they are all important.

But note that when you divide a key, the result could be -n version, adding 1 G and dividing that -n key will get you no where, so you'd need  to do all the operations on both -n and +n keys. This should take less than a second if you have the proper algorithm implemented with the correct tool!
