English is not my native language and sorry for mistakes.
Rico666 i watch you work long time ago and its so good, but what about bitcrack adoption to your pool ? Why not ? It will have moar power and we can solve puzzel really fast ? I think this is the next stage of bitcoin soon or later pepople will start to brute keys, also im wondering is it possible to adopt fpga cluster to mine keys what do u think ?
Well, first off - if bitcrack did all the work LBC is doing (watching all 16M addresses AND computing compressed and uncompressed addresses), the speed difference would not be that big anymore.
The reason people use bitcrack is just because of the usual little greedy minds of the common crypto crowd: quick buck from the puzzle transaction bitcoins. As I mentioned before, with that approach something falls through the cracks and LBC finds what bitcrack misses.
Second, I believe I could write (with the help of certain 1-2 people I know) something much faster than bitcrack. Essentially a LBCv2 doing as usual a complete search (all addresses, all privkeys sequentially) - way faster than bitcrack, but I'm working now on bigger things, so LBC has not the priority.
