Hi

[Sonya21]

Interested in your work.How long will it take to find Secp256k1 on the i7-8700k +6 gpu 1080ti ?Would it be useful titan v ? Do you have email?

Hi Sonya21, The answer to your question is: too long :) A Rho attack against secp256k1 has a complexity of roughly 2^126. I do not have a 1080 ti (I'm still using a GTX 660!). Given secp256k1's efficient prime modulus, I imagine a 1080 GPU could generate roughly 500 million points per second. So a 6 GPU rig would be able to generate 3 billion points every second. So for 2^126 work that would be about.. 900 quintillion years. A problem that large is simply out of reach for classical computers, which is why we use it in cryptography. Hope that answers your question!

can do this on the graphics card ?
https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

only need this function
brainflayer -v -I 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 -b example.blf

how much will it cost to develop and what is the projected rate?

Hi Sonya21,

I will try to have a prototype up and running soon.

You will probably see similar or slightly better performance as oclvanitygen, as it basically does the same thing:

Thanks
