Pro results are official: hashcat 1st, Cynosure Prime close 2nd, https://t.co/rKLtzlXd4j Users - Pro close 3rd. There's a slight undercount for some Street hashes, where 1-4 place are all very close, so might make a difference, stay tuned.

As I continue to (slowly) clean up my PCFG code: If you are annoyed by how slow PCFGs attacks are, at the very least you should still check out PRINCELING for generating wordlists for PRINCE sessions. At the risk of sounding obnoxious, its really sweet.

Thanks to @philsmd's PR https://t.co/suSjGODt13 hashcat now has a 100% pure GPU implementation of ECC secp256k1. All instructions are executed on GPU without any CPU hook code. Performance on Electrum 4/5 Wallet cracking improved from 49kH/s to 201kH/s
