[Question] Is this how I use it to hunt from a public key? #279

Closed FeatureSpitter closed 9 months ago

I have a public key in the file "pkey.pub": 04a9c9c642db794(...)00e726368d6ec7c1

That can be extracted from P2PK scripts

ScriptPubKey (ASM)
OP_PUSHBYTES_65 04a9c9c642db794(...)00e726368d6ec7c1
OP_CHECKSIG

For 256GB of RAM, is this the right command to hunt for this key?

./keyhunt -m bsgs -f pkey.pub -t 128 -s 10 -R -c btc -B random -S -q -n 0x400000000000 -k 8192

Any optimizations you could suggest?

Thanks.

make your own test

How?

Where can I find a public bitcoin key that I can compute in less than the universe time?

albertobsd commented 9 months ago

puzzles already solved, test keys on the documentation examples, generate a random keys and give the program some "small" range maybe some 65 to 70 bits.

There are different approach to test your own setup.

Got it. Thanks!
