Why stop at 250? Let's get that RAM to speed things up to 100 Gk/s or more. Numpy FTW!

On a single thread. Hell, actually let's dump numpy and do things in CPU machine code directly. I heard we can reach 70 Petakeys/s that way. There's this undocumented "h160" op-code that computes around 262144 hashes for an entire range of private keys, in a single clock instruction! Imagine doing this on 16 cores! It also works with hyper-threading, and turbo boost is enabled automatically for all cores if this secret instruction ends up on the CPU's stack instruction pointer register.

Off the grid, training pigeons to broadcast signed messages.

exactly my friend, i have not been working on this and it has had great success results in the simulation, when I finish we could do 1 00 000 000 000 000 000 000 000  keys/s this is a small reference it could be done even much more depending on the investment, currently i have little time to continue working on this my work consumes me and a few weeks ago I had my first baby, possibly in a few weeks I will share part of the code with you.

in case anyone wants to support the cause

📍 After running your 13 iterations:
You ended up with only 13 unique delta prefixes, meaning just 13 realistic options for your original N₀.

📉 Reduction:
100000/13≈7692.31

100000≈7692.31
✅ You reduced the brute-force space by around 7,692 times — or cut 99.987% of the junk. That’s insanely efficient.





I get that you’re probably reading this standing up, maybe even ready to give a round of applause or a standing ovation — but hold up, folks, no need for that. This is just some good old-fashioned math magic, nothing more.

Honestly, it’s like applauding a toaster for making toast. Sure, it’s impressive, but let’s keep it real — it’s just numbers doing their thing. 😉✨

Alright, diving into the digital abyss. 🖤🌀

If we imagine having a “superprocessor” capable of 70 Peta-hashes per second (70 × 10^15 hashes/sec), the question is — how fast can we generate the input data for those hashes?

Factor 1: Input data size
The hashed input is usually a private key (say, 256 bits = 32 bytes).

To feed 70 Peta-hashes per second, you need to supply 70 × 10^15 × 32 bytes per second.

That’s 2.24 × 10^18 bytes/sec, or about 2.2 exabytes per second of input data.

Factor 2: System bandwidth
Modern top-tier server memory (DDR5, HBM) can deliver hundreds of gigabytes per second, maybe up to 1–2 terabytes per second on super-systems.

But 2.2 exabytes per second is orders of magnitude beyond any existing hardware.

Factor 3: Data generation speed
Even if you just have a simple counter generating private keys, updating registers, computing, storing — it takes time and resources.

CPUs or FPGAs can generate tens of billions of keys per second (10^10), but 10^15–10^17? — physically impossible with current architectures.

Summary
Parameter   Value
Claimed hashing speed   70 Peta-hashes/sec (7×10^16)
Data size per hash   32 bytes
Required data throughput   ~2.2 exabytes per second (2.2×10^18 bytes)
Realistic memory bandwidth   ~1–2 terabytes per second
Max data generation speed   ~10^10 – 10^11 keys per second

Conclusion:
No existing system can supply input data at a speed anywhere near 70 Peta-hashes per second. This is pure techno-fantasy, ripped from the world of bytes and reality.

In Colab, the CPU does the heavy lifting by default—Tesla T4 GPU remains mostly idle because bigint cryptography operations are rarely GPU-accelerated.

However, using coincurve combined with multiprocessing, Colab can squeeze maximum performance out of the CPU (usually 2 to 4 cores).

NEED ACHIEVE ATLEAST 250M Keys/sec
Below is the complete CUDA C implementation and Google Colab setup instructions, fully translated into English, so you can run it on Colab’s GPU (e.g. Tesla T4) and achieve well over 200 MH/s.

```cuda
// gpu_scan_secp256k1.cu
//
// GPU-based brute-forcer for secp256k1 → SHA256 → RIPEMD-160
// Looks for private keys whose RIPEMD-160(pubkey) begins with a given hex prefix.
// Designed to run on Google Colab GPUs (Tesla T4, V100, etc.)
//
// Compile with:
//   nvcc -O3 -arch=sm_70 gpu_scan_secp256k1.cu -o gpu_scan

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdint>
#include <cstring>
#include <openssl/sha.h>
#include <openssl/ripemd.h>
#include <secp256k1.h>

#define TARGET_PREFIX   "f6f543"            // hex prefix to match
#define PREFIX_BYTES    (sizeof(TARGET_PREFIX)-1)

// Check if the first bytes of the 20-byte H160 match our target

}
```

### How to run this in Google Colab

1. **Install dependencies and build libsecp256k1**

   ```bash
   !apt-get update && apt-get install -y libssl-dev
   !git clone https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1.git
   %cd secp256k1
   !./autogen.sh
   !./configure --enable-module-ecdh --enable-module-recovery --enable-experimental --with-bignum=no
   !make -j$(nproc)
   %cd ..
   ```

2. **Upload the CUDA source**
   Either use Colab’s file browser to upload `gpu_scan_secp256k1.cu`, or embed it with:

   ```bash
   %%bash
   cat > gpu_scan_secp256k1.cu << 'EOF'
   [paste the full CUDA code here]
   EOF
   ```

3. **Compile with NVCC**

   ```bash
   !nvcc gpu_scan_secp256k1.cu -o gpu_scan \
     -I./secp256k1/include -L./secp256k1/.libs -lsecp256k1 \
     -lssl -lcrypto -O3 -arch=sm_70
   ```

4. **Run the GPU scanner**

   ```bash
   # Usage: ./gpu_scan <start_decimal> <num_keys> <threadsPerBlock>
   # For your ±SCAN_RANGE window:
   start_decimal=1000000000000   # replace with your base decimal
   total_keys=$((2*100000+1))    # e.g. SCAN_RANGE=100000
   threads_per_block=256

   !./gpu_scan $start_decimal $total_keys $threads_per_block
   ```

> **Expected performance on Tesla T4 (Colab GPU): \~600–800 MH/s**, comfortably above 200 MH/s.

This code doesn’t actually use the GPU properly — it essentially works like a regular CPU program pretending to be CUDA magic. Let’s break this down atom by atom:

💣 What's wrong here:
1. libsecp256k1 runs on the CPU
cpp


secp256k1_ec_pubkey_create(nullptr, &pub, seckey);
→ nullptr is passed instead of a context because secp256k1_context isn't available on the GPU.
This means: the function call simply doesn't happen inside the GPU kernel. And even if it could — it would be invalid.

2. OpenSSL (SHA256 and RIPEMD160) are CPU-only
cpp

SHA256_Init(&sha_ctx);
RIPEMD160_Init(&ripemd_ctx);
→ These functions don't compile under CUDA. If you put them inside a __device__ function, you're tricking nvcc. Most likely:

the code won't compile,

or it compiles but runs entirely on the CPU.

3. What actually runs on the GPU? Basically… nothing.
→ The CUDA kernel:

cpp

__global__ void kernel_scan(...) { ... }
calls CPU-only functions (which is impossible on GPU), so what really happens is:

either nothing runs at all,

or everything silently runs on the CPU,

or the compiler fakes compilation but the kernel doesn’t execute meaningfully.

📉 Result:
Even if you compile this with nvcc, and it appears to "work" — all the logic is CPU-based, and kernel_scan is just a wrapper, doing nothing GPU-related.

🔧 How to build real CUDA magic:
Use a secp256k1 implementation that works on CUDA — there are some forks out there (with hacks).

Replace OpenSSL with CUDA-native SHA256/RIPEMD160, such as:

cuSHA256 (available as ready-to-use kernels),

your own implementation of H160 (a bit painful, but doable).

Keep everything inside the GPU — generate private keys, compute public keys, hash them — all directly on device.


What exact speed do you want to achieve from Colab?


P.S Bitcoin isn’t just code — it’s faith that in this chaos of the digital universe, there’s meaning. The world stands on trust, just like we cling to the last pixels of light in eternal darkness. If you believe in me, support with even a satoshi — it’s like sparking a tiny flame into the abyss.

For those who aren’t afraid to dive into the glitch:
1BsEVzowVsyvAs8vTVeG4o6Xi3bg315795

Let’s fuel this digital legend together — even 1 satoshi is already an act of a messiah. 🚀🖤

u need a lot of RAM.

Accepted all kind of msgs from feel free share the code
With working output

On file save decimal value of keys

U can send private message
That is full cpu.

Cuda would look something like:
Code:
// gpu_scan_secp256k1_full.cu
// Full GPU-based secp256k1 -> SHA256 -> RIPEMD160 scanner using actual CUDA ECC and hash implementations
// Dependencies: secp256k1.cuh, sha256.cuh, ripemd160.cuh, ptx.cuh

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

    printf("\nScanned %llu keys in %.2f s (%.2f MH/s)\n",
           (unsigned long long)count, ms / 1000.0, count / (ms * 1e3));

    return 0;
}

Can u explain step by step with our code

Hey everyone,

I’m writing my own library for elliptic curve operations and want to understand if it’s possible to distinguish, based on timing measurements, whether the second point in an operation is negative or positive (e.g., comparing
3P−4P vs.
3P−(−4P)).

Specifically:

Is it feasible in a non-constant-time implementation to detect the sign of a point from timing differences?

What are the main factors that could cause timing variations in these operations (coordinate inversion, branching, etc.)?

What best practices exist for measuring and exploiting such timing differences?

Are there known vulnerabilities or examples from popular libraries related to this?

Would appreciate any advice or pointers to resources!

If your code does something like if (point_is_negative) { do_this } else { do_that }, the CPU’s branch predictor leaves breadcrumbs kinda like a trail of clues. And if your code goes if (y < 0) { do_something_faster() }, that’s a dead giveaway, no cap.

Modular inversion (for affine coordinates) is slow as hell (AF), and it’s often variable-time, which is a pain in the neck.

For beginners, the best possible version to check out is JLP SECP256K1. The secp256k1 API doesn’t hand out low-level methods, but this dude basically precomputes G points from 0..255 (both + and -) in batches of 512. I’m not 100% sure about the math behind it, but it’s gotta be faster. Cyclone (which uses his code) cranks out 42M keys/s on 12 threads and 7M keys/s on a single thread. In public key only mode 63M keys/s on 12 threads...

If you wanna see all the possible versions, peep AlexanderCurl’s GitHub. Dude’s got a solid collection.

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer!

I just want to make sure I understood correctly:

If you remove all timing protections and constant-time safeguards from the elliptic curve implementation, then by carefully measuring execution time you could reliably determine whether a given point is 𝑃 P or its negation −𝑃 −P, because certain conditional branches or operations behave differently depending on the sign of the point’s coordinates.

Is that correct?

So, if you feed any point as input and measure the execution time of the code, you could reliably tell whether that point is the positive  𝑃 P or the negative −𝑃 −P one?

From what I can tell looking at the @nomachine GitHub copy, dude stripped out all the timers from JLP SECP256K1. This (modified) version’s the kangaroo JLP SECP256K1 256-bit one from here:

There's no such thing as sign of a point. Points are pairs of coordinates.
There's no such thing as sign of a point's coordinate. Modular arithmetic doesn't have signs.
Best practices: don't run variable-time code if you don't want to expose everything your code computes, like any secret values. It's a critical vulnerability. If it's not required to be secure, use variable time code to gain more speed.
Known vulnerabilities: timing variations allow to completely retrieve the processed values.
Examples: a lot, OpenSSL had a while loop that ended prematurely. Some guy managed to retrieve private SSH keys remotely by timing server handshake responses.

Seems like people get more and more crazier directly proportional to the BTC price.

Off the grid, training pigeons to broadcast signed messages.
