I have some great ideas, but my only problem is converting the private key to hash160 using CUDA. I have various algorithms in mind. Can someone explain to me how to convert a private key to hash160 using CUDA?
All brute-forcing programs do it already. Hash160 is the same as the address, just a different representation of it.


They're all doing the classic stuff — strip, rstrip, and the usual. I'm thinking of different things. I do some of those partially, but what I need is CUDA code that will convert a set of private keys (which are different from each other — not sequential, more like random) into hash160. I don't fully understand CUDA and I get lost in the code. If you help me, I believe I can solve most of the puzzles.
