public address text file is missing

[test2a]

public_addresses_sorted.txt needs to be created manually. why not add it in the repo? secondly, how and when does it save files to the found keys?

i've been running this for some time now but the text files are empty. If i ctrl+c the terminal, no output is saved Core :0 K/s = 154.19959386987188 Core :2 K/s = 153.79412920353784 Core :3 K/s = 153.6234302654904 Core :1 K/s = 153.60181928047638 Core :0 K/s = 153.36326530355547 Core :2 K/s = 152.81235880386325 Core :3 K/s = 152.80336525108982 Core :1 K/s = 152.45896568592204 Core :0 K/s = 153.3644456930526 Core :3 K/s = 152.84413155708089 Core :2 K/s = 152.81968182527532 Core :1 K/s = 152.46830276641617

Hey @test2a

I can't really commit public_addresses_sorted.txt to the repo since it's over 1GB, and it gets updated weekly on bitkeys.work

As for the found_keys.txt file, it'll only write to it if a generated key exists in the public_addresses_sorted.txt file, which is very very very unlikely since there are 2^256 possible keys

@TheDen ok. how about this. the script checks, at start if the file exists. if not, then does the wget and cut functions and then tries again. once the file is there, proceeds forward with it.
about the weekly thing, why not write a third file with last download date, the the file checks both if file exists or not and if exists, if the date is more than 7 days.

Hey @test2a I've added cli arguments to the script, including a --download option that will download the file, parse it and save it as the default filename.

I guess a flow would be to run the script with that option whenever one wants to get the latest version
