Well, first off - if bitcrack did all the work LBC is doing (watching all 16M addresses AND computing compressed and uncompressed addresses), the speed difference would not be that big anymore.

The reason people use bitcrack is just because of the usual little greedy minds of the common crypto crowd: quick buck from the puzzle transaction bitcoins. As I mentioned before, with that approach something falls through the cracks and LBC finds what bitcrack misses.

Second, I believe I could write (with the help of certain 1-2 people I know) something much faster than bitcrack. Essentially a LBCv2 doing as usual a complete search (all addresses, all privkeys sequentially) - way faster than bitcrack, but I'm working now on bigger things, so LBC has not the priority.

Hello Guru.
Please tell me, periodically, every 1-2 weeks on my 10 computers connected to the LBC under the nickname Mishanya79 this error pops up: "2 just got out of the pool with exit code: 255"
On all computers costs Ubuntu 19.10 and CUDA 10.1. What does this mean, maybe some LBC element is missing, so I have not found a single key in 7 months?

Hello, trying to receive email notifications when FOUND... hook-find using mutt.
When I run "mutt -s 'LBC - FOUND!!!' -- "myemail@gmail.com" < ~/Documents/LBC/FOUND.txt" I receive the email.
Problem is that I don't receive email when something found. I have created a file lbchook.sh and put inside as you mention to the manual the following code:

Then make it executable "chmod +x lbchook.sh" and store it to LBC directory where the LBC perl is located.

When I test it using "./LBC -x" doesn't receive email. This is write 4 sample records, it should send the email right?

Should I move the file lbchook.sh at different location?
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong please?

Thanks in advance!
