I can't tell if someone hacked kTimesG's account or if it was a sort of April fools joke lol.
Especially this part "(of the offsets of the next GPU computation, because too many prefixes...)"
IMO, way overthinking it, if this was a for real post lol.
32-bit minimum prefix match...I have probably 3 million of these but quit collecting them and went to a minimum of 40+ bits. I probably have 200k of those. But I am not running, stopping, recalculating, and all that jazz. All of mine plug into a db, with padding (your "offset") and now I am just searching the "gaps", the keys in between, 100% range search.
It'll be interesting to see how close I was to solving, once we know the private key. So somebody needs to hurry up and find the private key so I can see lol. Hurry up Bram lol!
Interesting! I'll send you a PM.
