BitCrack - A tool for brute-forcing private keys

[Radiant311]

Now I'm only getting 8.5 with that one you just showed me So do you think maybe it's because I'm using CUDA v11.0? My GPU runs at 100% load so I'm sure that it's not a problem with energy draw.

I don't know all the code you changed...here's one way to check real quick. Go download the latest compiled version and run it instead of your compiled cuda 11 version. See what kind of Mkey/s you get.

I tried using BitCrack with CUDA v11.0 and it works if I modify some of the files. I'm only getting around 14 Mkey/s though. Is this because I am not using CUDA v10.1? Also, what would be the optimal parameters for an RTX 2070 GPU?

14?? What are your current -b -t -p settings? You'll have to play with the numbers but try something like -b 64 -t 128 -p 256 to start. You'll have to play with those numbers but any of the RTX20xx should be getting at least 700 Mkey/s, except for the 2080Ti, it's up there around 1300-1500 (depending on what you read).

+-350MK on 1080Ti - anything to improve? 112/512/768

Share please link to offline version of bitcrack ?

Thx !

I own just about every type of AMD and Nvidia card except the 1080Ti. My 1070s get a little over 200MK/s so that might be right for a 1080Ti.

How to run bitcrack for work not with step ".......00000000000000000000001", but step ".........000000000000000000000003" ?

So I tried this and now I get this error code when trying to build the file. I have tried reinstalling the Toolkit and Visual studio a couple of times and I just can't seem to get back the CUDA props and targets files that should be in the Visual Studio folder. So other than just completely uninstalling everything and trying over is there anything else that I can try?

Other than changing cuda to 11.0 did you change anything else? If not, just used compiled version from github.

Yeah that cuda props is ugly.  If you don't have it on your computer yet, you will have to download and place it in that folder where it says its not.

Thanks so much for your help man!  I installed from that link that you gave me and also found this link that explains how to do it manually https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12136808/cuda-4-2-props-and-target-file-is-missing-visual-studio-2010. So I have the program up and running again. Only problem now is that it is still running at 8 Mkey/s. I used those parameters that you had suggested above. So is there anything else I could try to get this running faster?

[Radiant311]

It looks like this has been talked about before but what does he mean by building it in release mode? https://github.com/brichard19/BitCrack/issues/142. Here is someone trying to explain it but it still doesn't make much sense to me. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46979464/unable-to-build-in-release-mode-in-visual-studio. Can you explain it in simpler terms for me?

[WhyMe]

If you don't know what's release mode, you probably don't know how to compile ...

[Radiant311]

Ok I figured out how to compile it in release mode by reading this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/933739/what-is-the-difference-between-release-and-debug-modes-in-visual-studio. Now I am getting approximately 720 Mkey/s It is running at 73 Celsius now when it was only 60 Celsius before. I'm using these parameters -d 0 -b 64 -t 512 -p 1024. Are these parameters optimal or no and also can someone explain what that d does and do I even need it? And one more question can I install the 446.14 graphics update in GeForce Experience or does that not support the 10.1 toolkit?

[Radiant311]

I'm getting 734.23 Mkey/s with these parameters -b 64 -t 512 -p 1024 but I'm also hearing a buzzing sound in my headphones while it is running. Is there any way to fix this issue or should I just try to run it on a cloud server or something? Also if someone has a different set of parameters that they think would be better I'm all ears.

[math09183]

I'm getting 750 Mkey/s (...) but I'm also hearing a buzzing sound in my headphones while it is running. Is there any way to fix this issue (...)?

Unplug headphones.

Unplug headphones.

Then I won't have any sound at all so how does that fix anything?

I doubt BitCrack have audio functionally, most likely the sound was generated from another software.

Open your Audio Manager (such as Volume Mixer on Windows) provided by your OS and find out which application generate that buzzing sound, then mute that application.

It starts when I start the program and it stops when I stop it.

[WhyMe]

Probably crap audio chipset with mass problem ...

[Radiant311]

Probably crap audio chipset with mass problem ...

$400 Gigabyte mobo with a really good audio chipset. What kind do you have? Mine sounds perfect when the program isn't running.

[Radiant311]

I just ran Unigine 2 and it got up to 99% utilization and there was no buzzing sound. When I stop BitCrack it will immediately stop making that sound so what else could it be?
