Solving ECDLP with Kangaroos: Part 1 + 2 + RCKangaroo

[slammer33]

Wow!

Congrats RetiredCoder!

That was really impressive...

Hello Op, first congratulations on those puzzles you solved, you deserved them without a doubt, used your mind+ hardware and got the prize.

Just wondering if there are any benchmark stats on different GPUs with all your versions? If there is, it would be kind of you to share them on OP, please. Thank you and wish the best for you going for #140.

This tool has an error in the . JS regarding calling of a non existant
function  related to u64 causing all zero no memory failure flag when trying to use GPU. Has anyone actually successfully gotten their gpu to work with it?

Are you pertaining to RCKangaroo: github.com/RetiredC/RCKangaroo?

What are the GPUs that you've tried so far; AMD, Nvidia? What are the specific models?
Because it'll only work on select models.

Finally I had some time to prepare RCAsm for people who are brave enough to make their CUDA kernels faster
https://github.com/RetiredC/RCAsm

Also check Kernel01 sample for SASS implementation of MulMod256.

Hello.
Can these ASM kernels use in VanitySearch-Bitcrack to make it faster? Program used for brute-force 71puzzle. Or they valid for RCKangaroo only?
Thanks.

Mini-puzzle #7 closed.

#135 pk is: 0000000000000000000000000000006D9392A16883F90903D5F78DA57AF07EB2

I’m not judging others' actions, but if I had solved puzzle 135—which is worth around $1 million—I would have made, say, 12 donations of $1,000–$2,000 each. A "puzzle 7" worth $280 is far too little; someone with 0.5 BTC—not 13 BTC—could donate $280, IMHO.

Good evening everyone,

I would kindly like to ask if anyone could provide an estimate of the time required to find a target using the new **RCKangaroo V4** with **8× RTX 5090 GPUs**.

In particular, I would be interested in the estimated solving times for the following bit ranges:

- 92 bits
- 96 bits
- 98 bits
- 102 bits
- 104 bits
- 106 bits
- 110 bits

If anyone has already tested this configuration or has benchmark results to share, I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and help!

...

And exactly why don't you try to find it out yourself how performant such a rig is on bitranges you're interested in?

It's not rocket science to construct known sample cases and try to solve them with such a rig, unless you don't have it or don't want to spend money on renting eight of those GPUs.

[Leonardo di ser Piero]

I apologize if my question was inappropriate or bothered you in any way. I was simply hoping to get a rough estimate of the time required, just for reference. If you could share an approximate answer, I would really appreciate it. Thank you again for your time and understanding.

[Cricktor]

Sorry, no, can't help. I don't own or want to afford to rent such expensive gear.

I wouldn't want spend any money to rent GPU either. But FYI, there are few online P2P marketplace with short rent duration and reasonable cost. I do not vouch any of them, since who knows if there's backdoor or data theft. But there are few examples,

• vast.ai shows 1x RTX 5090 start from $0.56/hour
• clore.ai shows 1x RTX 5090 start from $0.88/hour

[Leonardo di ser Piero]

Cricktor . Who asked you to rent the GPUs or run any tests for me? I simply asked for an estimated solving time, that's all.

Honestly, your hostility is completely unnecessary. You should take a page out of RetiredCoder's book. He willingly shares his knowledge and results with everyone, out of a genuine desire to help, not with hostility or arrogance.

You could have simply answered my question or chosen not to reply at all. There was no need to turn a simple request for information into an argument.
