Armadillo ECDSA-113

Hey WhoCares,

Great analysis! Gemini nailed the math — the numbers are spot on.

To confirm:

Expected steps: ~6.0 × 10^15 (this matches our server's calculation)
10x RTX 4090 at ~2.5 G/s each = 25 G/s total
6.0 × 10^15 / 25 × 10^9 ≈ 240,000 seconds ≈ ~2.8 days (~67 hours)
So yes, 10 RTX 4090s would crack it in roughly 3 days on average.

One small caveat worth mentioning: Pollard's Rho is probabilistic, so the actual time follows a geometric distribution. You could get lucky and find it at 50% of the expected steps, or unlucky and need 2-3x more. But on average, the estimate is correct.

And I can see you're already on the dashboard with your RTX 4070 — welcome aboard and thanks for contributing! Right now we have 4 agents running at a combined ~3.25 G/s, with ~163 trillion iterations done and 6% probability reached. The hunt is on!

congrats, there are more full speed RTX 5090s joined.

Thanks WhoCares!

Yeah, the cavalry has arrived — 10x RTX 5090 at full speed! Jumped from 3 G/s to 38 G/s overnight. ETA went from 23 days down to less than 2 days!

The dashboard is looking beautiful right now. If everything goes well, we should have the key by tomorrow. Stay tuned!

server restarted? 502 Bad Gateway

Better add auto "retry" for agent exe for Unattended run(or run agent exe in an endless loop of batch file).
Currently it simply exits if server error encountered.

Yes, sorry about that — we had to restart the server to deploy some fixes. The good news is: both issues are now resolved in v1.3.1!

Agent auto-reconnect: The agent no longer exits when the server goes down. It will:

Retry registration forever if the server is unreachable at startup
Keep computing and show SERVER OFFLINE - retrying... if the server drops mid-run
Automatically reconnect, re-register and resume when the server comes back
No more batch file loops needed!
Grab the updated agent from the same download link — look for v1.3.1 printed at startup to confirm you're running the new version.
