Thanks for the info. We already know what his script is doing, and still discussing it because:
Option I: We are all the same person as Ritual & Evil-Knievel, or we are different persons but we are in this scam together;
Option II: We are sado-masochists who love to waist everyone's time and money;
Option III: There's something very interesting in Evil-Knievel ideas, and we would like to talk a bit about it.
Pick your choice.
Is it on-topic, though? The topic of this thread is "OpenCL Based, Optimized BTC Private-Key Cracker", and it opens with misleading statements like "who knows, this tool is giving you good chances to get one of these lost 10 MILLION US$ accounts."
Those are alarming claims for people who care about the security of the blockchain.
Meanwhile, the tool (while it is clever) has no more chance of cracking a real key in the wild than a doorstop. Nobody disputes this, not even Evil-Knievel, who wrote it.
The logical thing is to close the thread so that it's clear to readers that the cracker has no practical use, there's no threat, and the security of the blockchain has not been compromised. For example, I was directed to this thread from somewhere else, and it took me considerable time to gain assurance that everything was OK. It's always possible to create new threads for other discussions.
