Re: Solving ECDLP with Kangaroos: Part 1 + 2 + RCKangaroo
If after a jump I get second (cheap) point for almost free, I can calc K without this point.
Yes it's not 100% correct, but it's definitely better than counting it as 1op, showing almost twice speed at almost twice worse K.
But of course this assumption must be mentioned in the method description and I do it.
Also, it depends on a point of view: for example, if cheap point is used for vanity addresses generation, this point should be counted because it's used as a normal point. But for kangaroo jumps - this point should not be counted because only one point is used for next jump and only one point is calculated completely (both X and Y).

I have a different question, how you transfer the BTC and protect it for the bots? Use you MARA or have you a different way?
Many thanks
Best of luck to bots cracking >100-bit ranges before the block is confirmed
