so.. cuda 8 is not supported in vs2017 -- any help on this appreciated
and the keyloader lib failed to load...

-keyloader lib fail

which are interlinked.. not sure how to add cuda 8 or use cuda 9 instead.

Hi there,

For now this project is using VS2015 with CUDA 8.

Thanks

Hi,

Can you describe the problem you are having with loading the solution in VS? The project loads and builds fine on my system.

In regards to your second question, the tool does have positive results. For instance, the address 12bahMGWAnSEYS3PKURvhScm8GmZhejY7t can be solved in under a minute.

I have been testing against addresses I've generated using this tool (by specifying the secret exponent): https://brainwalletx.github.io/#generator. The AddrGen.exe tool produces the same output too.

I'm afraid you will not be able to recover your old wallet with this tool, though. This is a brute-force tool designed to assist in solving the Bitcoin puzzle transactions: https://blockchain.info/tx/08389f34c98c606322740c0be6a7125d9860bb8d5cb182c02f98461e5fa6cd15
. More details here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306983.0.

These private keys are in known ranges, and the most efficient method is brute force.

Was your wallet password protected? It may be feasible to add in a password cracking feature.

It's nice to know that people are using the project!

I today set up cuda 9.2 and vs 2017 in an hour. Everything was compiled without problems and works.

Hi,

That's great news! I'll look to transitioning to VS2017 and CUDA 9.

Thanks

Could we implement a timer into the initialization process? I have been trying so many different combinations of the parameters to try get the program to start faster and I can't figure it all out. It just says initialization... and sometimes after 12 hours its still saying that.

Yes, everything is pretty simple, just change the properties of projects to 9.2 and obj everywhere.
And the truth is I did not put the 2015 version, I changed the permissible version in host_config.h
It was enough to make it work.

@adminnu Did it make the program run any better?
