Hey Puzzlers
What would be the best offline way to test a big list of either Decimal or Binary possibilities I have.
Just CPU testing, I could buy a GPU if its like 100x faster than CPU.
Happy to give the 1-3 people 0.1btc that help me when I solve puzzle 69. (If that's allowed on this forum)
Note offline solving only, no pools or online, happy to download any requirements first. - This pc will not be connected to the internet once ready to solve the problem.
Cheers
For cpu you want to use keyhunt or keyhunt-cuda. here's the links
https://github.com/WanderingPhilosopher/KeyHuntCudaClient https://github.com/albertobsd/keyhuntYou can also find pre compiled ones for keyhunt on github.
cpu averages about 3.5 million keys a second per thread if using above software or I believe according to ktimesg 10 million keys a second per thread with custom software.
Gpu's are way faster a 3080 does about 2200MK/s or 2.2 billion keys a second.
Best way to test a big list is to write a python script to read the doc and import the possibilities into a list then in a loop convert the decimal or binary into hexadecimal get rid of the 0x in the front and run keyhunt or kehunt-cuda in that range using a subprocess.
