1. it is stupid to search for 66 and other lower puzzles, because when you begin to spend them, guys with kangaroo stuff will steal you key and likely overwrite your transaction.

2. The speed is ridiculous. keyhunt on ryzen7 is searching at speed of 4040394398072471407 keys per second (puzzle 130) no GPU

When evaluating the performance of advanced algorithms such as BSGS (Baby-Step Giant-Step) or the Kangaroo algorithm against straightforward brute force techniques, it's crucial to recognize their fundamentally different operational principles.

Brute force is typically evaluated by the raw number of keys tested per second.

In contrast, advanced algorithms like BSGS and Kangaroo are assessed based on their effective search steps or jumps within the problem space, utilizing mathematical optimizations to minimize operations.

Therefore, direct comparisons based solely on keys tested per second are not appropriate because advanced algorithms employ vastly more efficient search strategies.

Even when comparing the speeds of BSGS vs Kangaroo, such comparisons cannot be straightforward due to variations in implementation details and constraints such as memory usage and characteristics of the search domain.
