Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
We need to develop a multi-threaded algorithm with the following structure:
Thread 1: This thread generates starting keys and stores them in a global array.
Thread 2: This thread retrieves keys from the global array, computes the corresponding points and RIPEMD-160 hashes, and then stores the resulting HASH160 values into another global array.
Threads 3 and 4: These comparator threads read several hundred addresses from a file and compare them with the HASH160 values stored in the global array.
Each thread operates independently without relying on the others, potentially improving overall performance. They will work separately.
Maybe it will be faster this way? I don't know.
