awesome program, thank you for your hard work... Signed up just to post these suggestions...
I know in its current form, its just a start from one point and 1by1 increment....
1) like many the -stride function (aka increment up by 100,000 instead of 1)
2) ability to check for the REVERSE of the hash
3) -random function with some options
a) ability to also create a "mask" that will increment each position a certain number (for instance 000000001100111000111000110045980813040) would increment each position by the number in that position forwards
and backwards
b) again to do the reverse with the above options
c) if possible restrict the number of duplicates in a row...example... -max-duplicates 3 means in the key no more than 3 of the same letters/numbers in a row... (not sure if this can be controlled with "random" but thought I would ask)
4) ability to input your own hex keys as a file input/stdin
5) on the command line display have the ability to see the status/pause/etc.. kinda like hashcat
Thank you again for your hard work.
TBH, most of what you suggested is above my skillset.
I am currently looking for source code of the random version of VBC which randomly generates new points, so if you have grid size of 10*100 on your GPU, then the program will create 1000 random points and start searching incrementally from each random point, but you can adjust how often it re randomizes and starts the process all over again. So in theory you could set it to re randomize every second.
But that will be on my task list first. I had a project to create a solo mining pool on an old PC (running geth and acting as server) and see if I could mine some blocks; and I did that. So I have a few other personal tasks to complete and then I'll start on random feature.
Solo mining pool test with actual results; completed:

I can say this, once mining cools down, I'll be back to experimenting with these key finding programs 100%
