Bitcoin-Puzzle-Scanner

I had a few people want me to update this program to include new challenges. (The original only had challenge #64.) I have updated it up to challenge #108. I will add the others as time permits.

Scan Types

You can use the following scan types.

SB : It scans sequentially from the beginning HEX value to the last HEX value; first to last.
SE : It scans in reverse order from the end HEX value to the beginning HEX value; last to first.
R : It scans by generating completely random HEX values. The generated HEX values are derived from the HEX ranges of the entered Puzzle.

On a Macbook Pro 2019, Core i9 2.3Ghz computer, approximately 20,000 addresses are scanned per second with 4 threads.

It only works on CPU. Currently does not support graphics cards.

I am aware that the number of scans is quite low, I plan to improve speed increase methods whenever I have the opportunity..

If you want to add a new puzzle, you can use the file below.

/list/PuzzleList.cs

You can define each new puzzle as a Puzzle object;

new Puzzle
{
    Number = "10",
    HexStart = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200",
    HexStop = "00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003ff",
    Address = "1LeBZP5QCwwgXRtmVUvTVrraqPUokyLHqe",
    AddressType = AddressType.Compressed
},

You can reach the Bitcoin transaction related to the puzzle below;

What if I'm lucky?

If the target wallet address is found, a new txt file will be created in the /found/ folder in the directory where the application is run, and related information will also be displayed on the console screen.
