Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Ok few questions before I get a GPU, because I will have around 200 trillion combinations maybe more.
Is the 4090 or 5090 way faster or not worth the $$ or is the 3090 just the best bang for your buck does it have to be Nvidia as AMD have good price to performance.
Converting into a Hexadecimal without Ox sounds easy enough. Hopefully python can output 100 trillion numbers without issues.
Could you give me a basic run though and how to set up and use keyhunt-cuda on a premade hexadecimal file (using a subprocess). Would it be txt file or a py file or a json file.
Also I take it this computation can be done offline once setup?
Cheers
With that many combinations it would be faster to write your own software since you would have to start and close the program every time.
What are the combinations are they ranges like 80000:fffff or are they 1 hexadecimal like d2c55?
if they are ranges then you would want to customize keyhunt-cuda so that each thread is of the gpu is searching a custom range.
if they are 1 hex number then a python script would be enough but it would take a long time and if you wanted to do it faster then you would want to write it in C or C++.
I don't know about the specific speeds for the 5090 but in this topic there should be 4090 speeds if I remember correctly it's around 4 to 6 billion keys a second.
Just a big list of hex/binary/decimal numbers no ranges or anything like that, I cant go into anymore detail or will be out of pocket 6.7btc
A python script would probably be fine but then that is CPU only then?. But that might work. Has anyone made a basic python script to check keys from a script.I guess GPU is a non issue, ill just get basic code working first.
I have done quite a bit of coding, but nothing on the cryptography side. I take it it would only be a few 100 lines of code?
Is it just like take 256bit private key guess, then hash it to the wallet address and check that matches the wallet address?
