Yea its using 100%, i think its the pubkey calculation that's taking most of the time, its not very efficient math. I used your hex matching trick and it made almost no difference compared to calcula...

Yours: You're using Jean-Luc Pons' secp256k1 implementation from VanitySearch—battle-tested, heavily optimized PTX assembly for carry chains (add.cc.u64, addc.cc.u64, mad.hi.cc.u64). That stuff is tight.

His: Clean handwritten Jacobian math with 32-bit words and standard CUDA. It's readable, but it's doing ~2x the work per operation.

That is indeed what I started with FWIW

Moving from clean Jacobian math to Jean-Luc Pons' PTX assembly is basically the developer equivalent of trading a sensible family sedan for a nitro-boosted dragster. 🏎️ Those `addc.cc.u64` carry chains are absolute beasts—it’s like your GPU finally stopped yawning and started actually wor...
