But you are right, Etar, that the "tame" DPs from previous keys could be used for subsequent, however their concentration will be very high on the left side of the range. Tames are distributed within the whole range, however if you use these tames for 1bit more key, they are all be only within the first half of the range, if for 2bit more key, all the tames will be on the first 25% of the range, etc...
But yes, the working files could be used for higher bits keys. However you should use the same DP size.
About the same DP size, you are absolutly right, this size should be selected to 24bit or so, i think.
But it is much better than start from scratch.
if using every 5 tx, we will have 10% initial points. (20% with wild, but they are useless)
