You talk about crashing SSDs, more info that you don’t know about this program or how it works. If an SSD can’t handle being written to, 12 times a day, then what’s the point of even owning one lol. Yes, this program, you control what and how often DPs are saved to your hard drive.

Now you claim 130 with DP 32 is magnitudes more than 115 with DP 25, which further shows you don’t know how kangaroo or this program works. Magnitudes? lol.

Maybe look at the code for this program that you are commenting on, before commenting on it.

I believe you are the one who should look into the source code, before making any other statements about it. Maybe check the hash lookup part, you will be surprised?...

Let's say you wait 1 year to fill up your DP cache (in RAM) and decide to write it to disk. Do you think you will have to write the same amount of data you have in RAM? Before answering, maybe create a simple C program that maps a 2 TB file to memory and write a single byte at offset 10 GB for example. No seeks, no nothing. I don't think you get the actual difference between offline storage and accessing random addresses of volatile memory which is in O(1). This is why it's called "random address" indexing, any byte you want to read it gets completed in constant time.

You are right though about the storage size difference, it's just 2**(0.5) between #115 with DP 25 and #130 with DP 40.
I cannot answer you how many actual storage bytes were required because I don't care about how the program stored them, just their count.

This program also solved #115 in 13 days (114 bit key on the Secp256K1 field). It required 2**58.36 group operations using DP25 to complete.

2**58.38 operations = 57.37 bits jump for each kang set = 2**(57.37 - 25) stored jumps each, so storage space was around 2*2**32.37 items for the complete merged "central table" / hashmap. Which is almost perfeclty equal to my estimates.

I fully understand the code and how this program works. All aspects.

115 was solved with a little more than 300GB of, wait, checks notes, “files”.

That was your first rant, exabytes lol.

I hope no SSDs were lost solving 110 and 115 with this program. RIP SSDs and all of your exabytes that you stored. 😁

RIP my SSD's on the distributed Kangaroo project xD
