Always run on 1 core CPU only about btcbf

[LU5GOON]

This is interesting as i am running all 24 cores and getting 16,000 - 18,000 k/s on the BTC Puzzle

CPU used:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor 4.20 GHz

Should i be getting more than that?

EDIT: I just tried by selecting 1 core and getting solid 14,000 k/s but only 2,000 more if i use 24 cores which doesnt seem right.

Yes, I think so.
Will be fixed soon✅

I guess it's because of using threads instead of processes. Processes don't share memory, that's why I used threads.
I have to revise this part of the program.

[vlnahp]

Yes it's possible. But I need some time to do some research about threading and GIL lock.

[vlnahp]

Should I try to fix this if you are busy now?

Yes I'm busy. I believe it is not possible to keep the speed() function and use multiple threads. But you can give it a try!

Okay, let me give it a try first

Taking advantage of the GPUs it will be even faster

Hello folks! Anyone found anything with balance?

Finding a key is like finding a grain of sand in the whole universe. You could search for millions of years without even scratching the surface ;)

It's all luck at the end of the day as chances are slim to none.
No, chances are so small you can consider them "none".

Hi @vlnahp

I hope all is well with your studies. I just wanted to check in and see if yourself or anyone has found a resolution to the outstanding bug here?

I can appreciate how busy you are of course!

Hello!
Unfortunately no success yet. It's going to take time.

Hey folks, I made this PR to solve this issue. I hope that I can have more time to do more but that's all

[vlnahp]

Would you please let me know your cpu's specifications?

[minhhieugma]

Mine is i7-9750h. But I guess you know how to fix it already.

[LU5GOON]

Yes, I think so. Will be fixed soon✅

Hey @vlnahp i had a random questio of the backing of this bug report here.
Is there the possibility of the speed increasing from 15,000 k/s or is his based on specs of the machine used?
I know you mentioned threads are used at the moment but once fixed, will it be faster?

Hello 👋 how did you go with this after giving it a try? Keen to know if you found a way or possibility. Thank you.

Hey PopeDollar I have been using the offline brute and targeting one BTC address for about 2 months straight now via a laptop & no such luck yet.

I do believe some here have found gold 👍👍

It's all luck at the end of the day as chances are slim to none.

No matter how many cores I choose, it always runs on only one core. It reflects on the Task Manager as well as the "current rate" metrics as well.

I guess that we need to use Process to achieve it? from multiprocessing import cpu_count, Process

I made a mini version to try out tasks instead of a pool:

You can try this one and tell if it works.

Hi All,

Been a while! Just wanted to check and see if this bug has been fixed or looked into?

👍👍

[minhhieugma]

I will try to do this on the weekend or next week.
