Hi - Could you be so kind as to explain how to change the the target to another specified address.. within another block.. Thank you

Hello, that's not possible for the current version of the program and not easy to change. Maybe, I will work later to generalize this project for different addresses and ranges.

Hello, understood. However, i can still scan another block and will extract applicable data? or is it hard coded for puzzle 64? ... And just to reaffirm the 1st hex data is the priv-key associated with the 2nd block which is the address within the block correct?

i appreciate the reply and yes it would be nice to see something a little more flexible if possible.

It is hardcoded for Puzzle # 64 in order to optimize speed.

In the output, a line with the prefix [W] contains a private key that is in the block (the first hex number) and the corresponding address (Base58Check-decoded, the second hex number).

Awesome thanks for the clarification .

Hello! Now the project is generalized for brute-forcing any range of private keys (having the same prefix). See README for more details.
