Impressive work on BitCrack—it’s lean, focused, and clearly built with GPU optimization in mind. CUDA acceleration makes perfect sense for this kind of workload, especially given the parallelism involved in key space exploration.

As a smart contract auditor and blockchain dev with experience optimizing EVM bytecode and building GPU-accelerated zk-proof systems (e.g., using Circom and snarkJS/Groth16 pipelines), I appreciate the performance engineering that goes into brute-force tools like this—even for educational and puzzle-solving use cases.

I’d be interested in collaborating or contributing in areas like:

Cross-platform GPU support (OpenCL + ROCm for AMD cards)

Checkpointing mechanisms for distributed or interruptible scanning

WebAssembly interface for light client exploration or visualization tools

Integration with puzzle leaderboard/analytics tools, maybe even bridging with Web3 identity (e.g., signing results on-chain)


Also, for anyone approaching this from a crypto-ed angle: this is a great opportunity to understand elliptic curve key space structure, which directly connects to how wallet entropy and key security is enforced.

Keep it up—this kind of work continues to inspire technically grounded discussion in the space.
