maybe someone will do it on a GPU, and someone will run it on 10-20 cards  Grin

20 GPUs could reach ~40,000 Mkeys/s   Grin

I noticed something, let's say if the speed is 75 million per second, then in theory we should go through 50 billion in 15 minutes, but now it takes more time)

First, let’s agree on whether it takes 34, 35, 36, or 37 flips.  Tongue

Number of mutation options for 68 bit of 34: 28453041475240576740
Number of mutation options for 68 bit of 35: 27640097433090845976
Number of mutation options for 68 bit of 36: 25336755980333275478
Number of mutation options for 68 bit of 37: 21912870037044995008


Then you need to correct the script so that it doesn't calculate for Flip count: 34
Total combinations: 47478523248093572  Tongue


He is right.....All calculations were wrong above 64bit...

need to be
C(68,37) = 21912870037044995008

checked on wolframalpha

This wasn't exactly an easy fix.   Grin

so there will still be 28453041475240576740 combinations, not 47478523248093572   Grin
