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!
