There is also 1 partial match with March 24th version.

Thank you for the effort!

What CPU do you have ?   Cause from what i see you have 20 threads and get about 29 Mkeys/s  ...  when i have 20 Mkeys/s  with old 4-core 4-thread i5-3570k.

I saw you discussing this and there are a couple issues. You do realize you are searching a puzzle and range that was solved. It is possible to get billions of keys per sec on midrange store bought pc. There are way better methods than what you are using. If you are interested in getting involved in the puzzle there are much better ways with much better results even using cpu. To hit billions you need to use a GPU a 3060 or equivalents will hit billion+ per second. If advanced you can get it up to 10 billion with more advanced methods. Look at kangaroo and bitcrack and vanitysearch.
