Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
OK. I cooked up something that uses all cores to build all the points in a given range.
well I have 4 cores so I am technically cooked."300k inserts/s" I have a c++ script that gives 30k/s but the way it works is different and will take some days to finish the billion ,it opens 3200 per time until it finishes the hall range storing only the specific prefix opened files .
As promised, here's my extremely fast Secp256k1 range points generator.

I'm getting 18 MK/s single-threaded on a laptop CPU, and up to 80 MK/s with using 8 threads.
So your billion points are done in 12 seconds. The problem? Inserting the results into a database is gonna hit yoy down to maybe 300 - 400 keys / second, if you choose to save them.
Anyways - this tools can be easily used to search a range in SEQUENCE - it only takes two multiplications, everything else is pure point addition using batches of added intervals, and traversing all the areas by multiple cores in a given amount of scheduled launches.
It can also be used quite effectively re-ensure everyone that a sequential traversal will always, always beat anything that requires recomputing a public key from some random-positioned private key.
But there is no hashing part built there - I'm sure someone like @nomachine can do it though. After all, he said it's easier to go fishing then to build this. So I did it for him as well.
