BitCrack - A tool for brute-forcing private keys

[math09183]

If his tools work, they work. If the challenge is fake or if you think its fake just don't participate in it.

There is no single tool which he is the author. There is no one single program written by him.
If you want reliability - go and find the original version, from the tool's author, not from that xero guy.
Maybe he has small dick or other complexes and that's why he is not using "fork" option on source repos, he wants projects to look like they were made by him?

I respect him for amount of time he must spend to monitor source repos and copy/paste diffs 
So guys, you do not need to worry about virus or other bug hidden in his closed wif500 program, he is not able to do something like that.

I've looked at two of his repos; they are different than the originals and he gave credit to original programmer.
If you take an existing program and change it to different things, is that a fork or a new master? I do not know...I imagine you could fork and make changes.
It will be interesting to see/read about the wif500 and if they solve it.

I think it's just a clever scam.
The author claims that the photo is from a burnt diary in 2017, but the Ethereum address in the same photo was used in 2021, and just one day.
Why write this address and key in a diary if there was no balance on it at the time?
And even more so to use it after so many years..

Well, outside looking in, whoever's address, they could still use it because they had the full private key and normally you create a wallet before there is a balance on it, whereas the btc address in question is missing the first part of the wif private key. I dunno...it will be interesting to see if the coins move anytime soon. As well as #64 and #120

I didn't check the repos (Github is a PITA to browse through lynx) but I can conclude two things from this:

a  - if the programs are open-source, then he just coppied the Git tree - anyone can do that. The commits still appear (unless you destroy the tree and create a new one - in which case nobody would really think you wrote the whole thing in 1 commit anyway) if you do a git log, so it's just a nuisance.
b  - the programs are all closed source like that sp-mod guy. In which case the most risk that would come from using it would be the code sending the rewards to some baked address inside the code (or if he is sufficiently insane, maybe he includes a piece of malware like the node-ipc maintainer).

Why do all programs/tools about bitcoin all-time download chrome browser warning to download and recommend deleting a file?
What algorithms or some code makes the browser check it and think can be harm the computer.
it happens with tools download from Github and open source code, bitcrack, kangaroo all get warning all-time download it.

[albert0bsd]

Never run exe files of untrusted sources, if there are source available is better to compile it by yourself

Because they have your BTC stealer inside...

[zahid888]

someone have any information about this transaction https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/d9a86250b7f93a112cb93903f44c6943464c546a703b58b6b852d59e3102b64d what he was trying to do ??

Whenever you download a file, Google check its hash against a bunch of signatures that are known to belong to malware - the database is stored on Google's servers - and then presents a warning if it matches a hash of malware (whether it's EXE, ZIP or whatever).

Firefox would actually block you from downloading the file in such a case, and delete it instead.

I try
kanhavishva/KeyHunt-Cuda
and
phrutis/Rotor-Cuda

AND DONT FIND THE KEYS !

FAKE ? SCAM ?

https://github.com/phrutis/Rotor-Cuda/issues/38
https://github.com/kanhavishva/KeyHunt-Cuda/issues/59

They both work, it just depends on what key you are looking for.

Yeah keyhunt-cuda definitely works.

What key were you looking for and what were your settings?

[kknd]

The solution :

1º
python addresses_to_hash160.py addresses.txt hax160.bin
or
b58dec.exe addresses.txt hax160.bin

2º
BinSort.exe 20 hax160.bin hax160sorted.bin

Did BitCrack need fast speed for GPU with PCI-E 3.0 (x16)?
I would like to use with mainboard PCI-E 2.0
So, does it is effective to speed GPU or not?

I think it has impact on data transfer host<->device, so in my opinion you cannot expect any significant improvement, as GPU memory is not much used nor heavily loaded from the host. It would make a difference in GPU would processing a big amounts of data coming from the host for each launch of kernel.

Fast PCIe lanes are really only useful for OpenGL [rendering/CAD/etc.] and games.

As soon as you start using it for CUDA and CL, the processing power (as will inevitibly occur in a serious program, e.g. some ML recognition) going on inside the GPU will be very large in proportion to the memory loads and stores from the GPU.

Thank PawGo, NotATether
I try to use old PC I have it no cost, maybe buy new one cheap mainboard PCI-E 3.0 x16

Another ideas make a DIY eGPU for work with a laptop connect M2 port

Another ideas make a DIY eGPU for work with a laptop connect M2 port

Can those things even work with an NVIDIA card? Maybe it's because I've only seen them with Radeons being sold by Apple, but considering that CLbitcrack is experimental software, it's still worth knowing.

But it really depends on whether a generic GPU driver will detect an eGPU. If not, and it needs special drivers specifically for that, the odds of making a DIY model are not in your favor (particularly if you are running on Windows).

[PawGo]

There is a nice comparison:
https://egpu.io/forums/expresscard-mpcie-m-2-adapters/build-m2-vs-thunderbolt/

Depends how you want to use it, if it is for BitCrack only (or mainly), in my opinion it makes no sense and old good thunderbolt is more than enough. And for 99% of other use cases also.
