I remember the hex private key that I had set the software on, and it was about 47 billion keys later that the software stopped, but it didn't show the key. I didn't know that I should have gotten it from the software log file, so I thought the software had crashed and reset it. Now I realize my stupid mistake, and no matter how I install the said software, it won't run!!!

47 billion keys is less than 100000000 : fffffffff (2^36), even with Alberto BSD's keyhunt CPU program you can cover this range in 4 or 5 hours with a slow laptop, no need for someone to help you. But maybe this is another newbie or digaran trolling.
For sure is someone trolling. If they would read enough, they know about renting and using all softwares from here. So from my point of view is a joke.

I didn't lie, your problem is in calculating the number of keys to search. The number of keys to search is equal to:
4503599627370496

You wrote "47 billion keys later" in your second post, which + or - 2^36 search will find the key, and now you wrote 4.5 quadrillion keys....
Either you didn't understand what I meant or I couldn't express it correctly! Dear friend, I have no reason to lie. And I have no intention of showing off or bothering anyone. I was searching for keys like everyone else when I encountered a software bug that I thought was a bug, but in fact it wasn't a problem. I should have seen the key in the software log file, but I couldn't. I only remember the first 5 phrases of the key that I started the software with, and if I knew the whole thing, I would have reached the main key with a simple search in 47 billion keys after that and I wouldn't need help. Do you understand now?


But whatever I don't care, I hope you truly found the key, I am not even searching, just going through this thread from time to time for lolz....
