Did you check the probabilty curve of 135 ? Asking because unlike 71, it’s not really a luck thing. Until you’ve generated a stupid amount of points, your odds of hitting are very low (lower than 71)
Might be interesting to calculate after how many days of Bruteforce does 135 get better odds than 71.
We probably have different definitions for "solid tool"
I guess it helped you isolate the DP matching from the distributed processing, and build the entire orchestration needed to scale up the search.
I'm using at least 10 different technologies and languages just to get to that point, over the last years... and I'm still not calling it solid.
Fair enough, we definitely have different definitions of what "solid" means. I’m not saying it’s a system that "wins", only that at this stage it’s stable enough to run continuously and produce consistent results.
Regarding 135, I’m aware of the probability curve, and that’s exactly why I’m not treating it as a pure luck-based brute force like 71. The approach I’m using combines BSGS-style ideas with MITM techniques and ECDSA arithmetic, which changes the search dynamics compared to a classical enumeration approach. It’s been running for a few days now, so it’s still early, but the goal is to reduce reliance on randomness, without simply increasing computational power.
