SimpleYggGen-Go
This program reimplements SimpleYggGen in Go, importing the original Yggdrasil
code for generating keys and utilizing multiple CPU threads for mining.
Installation
% go get -u -v git.tdem.in/tdemin/syg_go
History
SimpleYggGen is originally a
project by @acetone, who wrote a Bash miner for
getting "magic" Yggdrasil addresses following a pattern. The main problem with
his implementation was that it ran grep and yggdrasil as separate processes,
making mining very slow. Even though @acetone later made a C++ implementation,
it still relied on running Yggdrasil as a separate process.
As of now (2020-08-12) @acetone reworked his C++ miner implementation, and
SYG-C++ is even more performant
than this program (making, like, 15% more iterations within the same time).
Obviously far superior to the original SimpleYggGen.
With multiple threads it takes SimpleYggGen a month to run through a few
million cycles and find keys for 200::c84:77b0:f66d:b47e:64c7
(targeting
::
). syg_go has found keys for 206:bcdb::ac47:4e3b:b97e:df4e
with the same
target in 27 minutes, utilizing 8 threads on AMD Ryzen 1700X.
With 8 threads on Ryzen 1700X while searching for ::
this program reaches:
- 10 000 000 iterations in 2 minutes, 36 seconds
- 100 000 000 iterations in 25 minutes, 58 seconds
- 500 000 000 iterations in 2 hours, 10 minutes
This program contains some modded code from Yggdrasil that aims to improve
performance. If you prefer to use original Yggdrasil code, set -original
flag.
