Guys, let's solve puzzles not using a GPU, but using a python script and a couple of CPU processors in 15 minutes.

How do you imagine this?)

The only acceleration would occur if you wrote the .so extensions for ripemd160_avx2 and sha256_avx2 and used them for hashing in Python. And everything else related to EC. However, the CPU can't handle more than 8M keys per core—that's the maximum I've achieved in C++. Dead end.


By the way, your version of mutagen (which you updated not so long ago) has become faster to check, before 300 billion took 12 hours, and now 8 hours. Cut another 6 hours and it will be like in Cyclone  Grin


and also, in mutag there are slightly fewer combinations that need to be changed (the first bit does not need to be changed in the key if it is in position "1")
