BitCrack - A tool for brute-forcing private keys

[NotATether]

I remember I saw somewhere the benchmark table with the speeds for BitCrack with different nvidia cards (2080,3080,4080, .... ti versions, Tesla, etc). Can you please share it or write the current benchmarks (actual in 2024 with the most common hardware).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4453897.msg55552855#msg55552855

Unrelated, but I am just wondering have you ever found any keys from all those sub-ranges you were searching in for on Bitcrack for a long time, or did you not find anything?

What is the best Settings for an RTX 3090?
I have this for now -b 128 -t 256 -p 1024 but is this the best setting?

[qq569160818]

Can try different combinations multiple times, personal recommendation  256   512   1024  or   512    1024    2048？

Hello,
there is a benchmark database of nvidia rtx 30s and 40s?

Hello,
there is a benchmark database of nvidia rtx 30s and 40s?

hi, I am also looking for such table, but no luck till now

My results with Ubuntu 22.04, nVidia 545.x.x drivers and CUDA v12.3 on i5 CPU, 96 GB DDR5 RAM, single RTX 4090 (water cooled, from MSI)

Software	t	b	p	result	Watts
cuBitCrack	256	256	512	~2975 MKey/s	466
cuBitCrack	256	256	1024	~3040 MKey/s	467
cuBitCrack	128	512	1024	~3080 MKey/s	467
cuBitCrack	256	256	2048	~3080 MKey/s	467
cuBitCrack	128	512	2048	~3165 MKey/s	464
cuBitCrack	128	256	4096	~3130 MKey/s	464
cuBitCrack	256	128	4096	~3090 MKey/s	464

I don't know if it can be better. I played with param values longer time, but many time I was stopped by "[Info] Error: out of memory" or  "[Info] Error: too many resources requested for launch".

I would suggest to stop using bitcrack until it is updated, if ever.

A 4090 using the vanitysearch with bitcrack option, gets 5000 MKey/s, and using KeyHuntCuda, a 4090 gets over 6000 MKey/s.

You are wasting MKey/s by still trying to use bitcrack, IMO.

Thanks for reply, you are right. I am not using it anymore, just made test before and want to share some results.
I went to kangaroos/bsgs where is so much space for improvements and max 4090 utilization :-)

Hello, I also want to join the key finder (1000 BTC Bitcoin Challenge Transaction) but I don't know how to install BitCrack program (I have one rtx 2060 video card I want to try it), is it possible to have a detailed description or a video how to install this BitCrack program step by step and set it up correctly, I would like to try the selective method.

Question:

Is it possible to make search specific spaces in the priv-key? Like shown below in X:

00000000000000000000000000000XXXXXXXX000000000000000000000000000

Yes this is done by using -stride option

Yes, i got it but could not figure out how can i correctly mark the start-end points. Can you give me the stride setting for this example? This will help me.

Your sample is 64 length so i assumed it is hex privatekey format. On this basis the start, end and stride for the key search will be....

start = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000
end = 0xFFFFFFFF000000000000000000000000000
stride = 0x1000000000000000000000000000

I think you will modify it accordingly to fill your 0 values in start and end..but no need to change anything in stride.

Thank you, I wish I had known earlier
