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.

this is a pool, right? a pool of checking addresses.
that's sometime I said wayyyyyy before...
The fact we are probably checking the same addresses is not that low if you are doing by sequence, but also if you do random and you need to shut down your computer, you just lost all your already checked addresses
But i believe an better strategy:
3 threads - one produce addresses, the other just check the first 4 digits, and other comparing the pool generated by the second one.
Why? Because you save time by just run the first 4 letters.
I was watching a yt about a billion data points challenge and they run the analyzes in less than 3 sec with java!
If someone can do this in rust/c/java, I will give a hug, please, i need it!
Because python....no,no,no... unless you want you house burn down
