I appreciate the concern #2! None of the machines that run the code have the GPUs in them, the hardware is quite old. However, the cluster size is currently 985 systems, each has 2x 2650v4.

Code:

CPU Threads : 48
Mkeys/s : 76.83

This is (76.83 * 985) / 1000 = ~75.67 Gkeys/s

You're wasting electricity.

985 systems * 105W = 103425 W

That kinda power can run 230 RTX 4090s.

230 RTX 4090s produce 1610 Gkeys/s

That's 21x faster. And a much less headache managing the machines. Whatta gonna do if you wanna step up to the real deal, like hashing 7 trillion keys per second? Millions of CPUs? Good luck with that.

I'm gonna take a break from here, for real this time, I'm honestly tired of being flooded with huge /code/ posts, you guys need some separate thread for spooning out water from the ocean. And now it seems that we're talking about kangaroos for address-only puzzles, which is just great! Keep it up guys.

Puzzles gives public key on some and it only requires ec searching.
