    I don't know why but i also search 68 mostly in this range.. lol


      Puzzle started with "E0" two times  (8 and 44)
         

     

    This fortune teller told me that puzzle 68 starts with E0. He also thinks the creator of the puzzle is Freemson and is probably Egyptian. Additionally, he mentioned something about having an illegitimate child with a neighbor

    One more features should be inside cyclone
    Example
    ./Cyclone -h 1234567890abcdef -p 68  - comb file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

    -comb files are contain hex char and generate sequence combination for check
    This feature will also make product more better

    I do it manually.

    cat file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt | sort -u > combined_unique.txt

    Your way for join files
    Above mention me asking combination generate
    Example
    3 files each contain 10 lines
    Will comb generate 1000 combination

    I#ve just found that Cyclone wrongly reads the ranges from file and/or changee them.
    For example, I have small ranges with an amplitude of 0x1000000 and Cyclone changes the ranges to an amplitude of 0x10000000000

    Hey Puzzler, I'm working on a lottery-style Puzzle 68. Got any good ideas for the first 4 digits?

    I can hash the rest over the course of a week😅

    which means I'm basically taking 1 in 32,768 lottery tickets every week 😅

    First of all congratulations and thank you for the work put into Cyclone.

    Illegal instruction (core dumped)
    root@evelk-ThinkPad-T430s:~/.a/Cyclone# ./Cyclone -h e0b8a2baee1b77fc703455f39d51477451fc8cfc -r b07003137ec6788df:b0733313986012278 -b 6

    I am getting this core dumped error only on some laptop models (could be that they have old processors?)
    On others Cyclone starts without problems (same operating system ubuntu 18 on all of them)
    Thanks in advance

    What do you mean by this stride? Is it working here? By default, it makes sense in a sequential search, but does the function still work if we increase it?

    Or less than 12 hours with a 8x RTX 4090 rig.

    Your lottery ticket costs 35 $, and anyone can buy it. Or are you looking for someone to give you as a clue a range they already scanned?

    If you have a processor that does not support AVX2, it will not work.

    This means that the default stride is 1. It can be increased, I think, to 2000000000. It doesn't work beyond that value.

    Because the type used for Int is uint32_t, you can use a larger data type, such as int64_t:

    Quote
    Int step;
    step.SetInt64(stride);
    privateKey.Add(&step);

    However, I’m not responsible for what happens after that.

    The script processes keys in batches (e.g., POINTS_BATCH_SIZE). A large stride might cause the batch size to be exceeded, leading to incomplete or incorrect processing, progress calculation or even crashing the entire program.

    That’s why I don’t like to mess with other people’s scripts. It’s easier for me to rebuild a new one from scratch than to try to support someone else’s script that works in a way they think is well-designed. Grin

    Hey nomachine, maybe you already mentioned this in an earlier message, and if so I apologize. Why am I getting almost twice the MKeys/s with your program than I get with the original Cyclone program? Have you optimized for this much of a speed increase, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

    Which version and from where? Use the latest version from GitHub. It doesn’t go beyond 4.80 Mkeys/s  per core, which is the same as in the original version.

    The compiler used on Windows might be different from the one used on Linux. Different compilers can produce code with varying levels of optimization, which can impact performance.

    I am achieving 6 Mkeys/s per core withopt/AMD/aocc-compiler-5.0.0/bin/clang++.

    AOCC is specifically optimized for AMD hardware and can leverage AMD-specific features and instructions to deliver better performance.

    The actual (EC) throughput with AOCC (clang) is between 10 Mkeys/s and 12 Mkeys/s per core, using the raw Bitcoin Core secp256k1 library without any hashing. You can't go faster than that on a CPU. Grin

    What's the frequency of a single core?

    Are you doing affine (not jacobian) batched addition, using the secp256k1_fe_* primitives? And the P (+ - ) Q trick?
