I'm confused by the word: "go around"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go-around
A go-around is an aborted landing of an aircraft that is on final approach





In this particular case, I presume he is referring to the revolution of the fans with respect to the movement they make.

Not to be pedantic but I would say they're referring to the song "money makes the world go around"  Smiley

From what I've read on the hashcat forum the dev has just got it to crack a truecrypt and he's adding an AES cipher. As far as I know AES is what wallets use so we might not be too far from running this. I'm no expert on how this stuff works so hopefully someone with more knowledge might jump in but it looks promising. Sort of puts wallet security into question though.

I should say you need to be running linux. Windows seems to be very slow at this. I just dropped a 7950 into the I7 rig and it doesn't seem to have made much difference to the speed. Anyone know if these scripts benefit from GPU power?

On the 25 gpu rig they use a program called Hashcat. It can run millions of guesses a second on a cpu only rig, billions with a gpu cluster. I emailed the developer to see if it could be used for wallet recovery. Haven't heard back yet. I'll keep you posted if anything develops.

Here's a zip with a password generator given the password you know. There's a readme inside with instructions and more info.

What it contains:
A java program that generates a bunch of possibilities > Write all the possibilities to a .txt file.
A powershell script that tries these (original by 2112).

As for mac users, google: Powershell Mac



does this work on litecoin?

Revalin's script does. I'm running it now. Change the bitcoind lines in the script and its good to go

What kind of speed are you getting? I got a script from another user to help me out but it does 1 try a sec :/ 

I'm getting about 5-8 a second with an i7. I let it run for a couple of days with no luck. Thinking about throwing a 2gh/s mining rig at it as I haven't cracked it yet. I've got 21 7950 gpu's so I'm sure I'll get it eventually, if the price rises enough to put all my rigs on it. I read an article about a 25 gpu monster chucking out 350 billion guesses a second. Theres only 380ish LTC in it so I'm not sure its worth it yet.

I'd say stick with GPUs for now. Atleast you can sell them if the market tanks and not lose your shirt.

I thought about buying one a couple of months ago but didn't trust them. Its waaaay too late now. The network will be knackered by the time I get one.
