The total ethereum hashrate is today 457.14TH and most of the hashing is done by gpu's.
Lets assume that each gpu hash in average around 30MHASH (gtx 1070ti, rx 570, rx 580)
That is a total of 15 238 000 gpu's hashing.
Let's assume that I added multicard support and stratum pool support to the bitcrack sp-mod and people redirect
their hashing power to crack the puzzle transaction.
The bitcoin puzzletransaction is worth ($1 900 000)
https://privatekeys.pw/puzzles/bitcoin-puzzle-txPuzzle #64 (64-65 bit)
2^64 / (400MKEYS * 15 238 000)= 3 026 seconds.
Puzzle #64 would be solved in 50 minutes
Puzzle #65 would be solved in 100 minutes.
Puzzle #66 would be solved in 200 minutes.
Puzzle #67 would be solved in 400 minutes.

Since the program scan the whole range of keys, the mining pool can also check if there are other private keys in the scanrange with money in the balance and payout to the miners.
Yeah I already pitched that idea months ago, with the same concept.
Multi-card already exist with faster hash rate. Bitcrack is like stone age, can't even support newest cards.
If you have the skill set, maybe work on multicard support first.
Also, pool exist for #64 but trying to get people to stay with it is the problem. Everyone thinks they can crack it on their own with 1 or 2 GPUs
And a solid OpenCL needs to be developed. Brichard19 has the knowledge; I've used his Kangaroo program using OpenCL and it is the only program out there that fully utilizes the power of the newer cards plus all the old cards and AMD cards.
