Effectively this means, I saved you 14 days or so at current speed. It also means, the find can happen anytime from now to 41 days (current speed).

Yea I know that ... I want to bring the 41 days time to 0

For this you'd need either immediate luck, or infinite speed.

To have #51 in 1 day under worst case scenario, the pool would need to have about 13.5 GKeys/s

I'll try to get the nr 51 this week ... 1000 + CPU's incoming

Exceptionally, I set the pool computational front to 2^50. We will cover the ~370 tn keys after we have found #51.

You will see this on block numbers > 1073770688

The stats about predicted find time for #51 are therefore not correct anymore (because the pool is aware of missing ~370 tn keys).
So you simply have to do some calculation in your head:

If the pool says

Quote
the pool will hit the private key to 1NpnQyZ7x24ud82b7WiRNvPm6N8bqGQnaS (#51 of the puzzle transaction) in N to M days.

it currently means

Quote
the pool will hit the private key to 1NpnQyZ7x24ud82b7WiRNvPm6N8bqGQnaS (#51 of the puzzle transaction) in 0 to M-N days.

Effectively this means, I saved you 14 days or so at current speed. It also means, the find can happen anytime from now to 41 days (current speed).

Good hunting!

Rico you should update the trophies page Smiley

Done: https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/trophies

As one can see,

#47 -> #48: 1 month
#48 -> #49: 2 months
#49 -> #50: 1 month  Smiley

I think that for now, we're fighting combinatorics pretty well.

You're crazy.  Smiley
Ok - I try to get a GPU client at least 3x faster than the current one before you find #51.
Challenge accepted? (Odds are I'll lose ... probably)

And we all are going to be dead when 2^256 keys are searched in this project within next couple of centuries.

There is no need for the 2^256 ...

And I'm sure compute power will get insane in the couple of years.

And the 1st 500bn keys (something that took the project like two months) are searched today within 30 minutes.

Get your basics right. This project is not searching 2^256 keys.

Rico

This is fairly high praise coming from a detractor.  Not many 2-century projects in human history.

I should get a reward for asking how many days, which made you urge colliders to look.  BTW, I asked on the same day it was found - coincidence, or am I so dumb I'm smart?

Becoin has an explanation: It's all staged and you are just my alter ego.
Also, your question was way too unspecific - like numerology. So your reward is a smiley:  Smiley

As for "urging colliders to look" - In the german thread it became clear that for people who cannot set up a correct hook another way of signalling finds should be provided. I try to think of something where the pool could signal them (by mail etc.) that one of their clients has found something, without having the information about the PK itself. Tricky.

Sidenote:

With the current All-Time-Highs of search speed and in a sudden rush of nostalgia I looked up the pool history

Quote
2016-09-14: 500 bn keys (1 tn addresses) searched
2016-09-10: New client available 3x speedup
2016-09-07: Windows clients - although quite bad - available
2016-08-29: 1st "real" pool bounty found
2016-08-10: pool inception - roughly 0.15 MKeys/s
16 Jul/Aug: stand-alone experiments, then client and pool development
2016-07-28: standalone client: 36bits searched

36bits does my Notebook today (same machine as in July 2016) in 2 hours. And the 1st 500bn keys (something that took the project like two months) are searched today within 30 minutes.

Schrödinger's Cat is both alive and dead until someone has a look.

Turns out, the same is true for the private keys your LBC client has found. There may be private keys to thousands of bitcoins on your hard disk, and the wave function will only collapse if you have a look. So until you do - you may be a billionaire.  Cheesy

It also turns out, the LBC pool has found #50 about a day ago and today someone - going by the id HodlAllTheCoins - had a look.

0x22bd43c2e9354 - time of find: "Not earlier than Monday 13th March 2017 10:27:20 AM UTC"

I never find anything Smiley

With your current Mkeys/s power, you have around 50% of the pool capacity (may be even more).
So actually the probability for you to find something is that high compared to the rest of the pool.

But luck's a bitch... My funny 0.2 Mkeys/s 32bit client could find something sooner than your keygenerator army.
It's just not very probable.

I'm just waiting for a multi gpu client that can use at least 90% of the gpu cores. Then I will switch my mining rigs of 20 gpus at this project. Cool

For the past two days I've been fighting with a segmentation fault on my new GPU implementation and I will have to take a few steps back and build up a complete forensic test scenario to figure out what's happening.

LBC is multi-GPU capable already, but you need still quite a lot CPU power to be able to put some load on the GPUs.
The new client is way better, but unfortunately unstable. As soon as this is sorted out, I believe we can start to measure the pool performance in GKeys/s!

Oh - BTW - You actually can use LBC with a GPU mining software on the same card. LBC just takes some 20-30% of the GPU capacity, so you can have a co-existant operation.

Wow, that's a lot of GKeys you have delivered Shocked
What's your setup and total speed? Botnet, or gpu? Smiley

Can't you search for your own pubkeys and find the corresponding privkeys? Do what others do on this funny project!
