John M. Pollard: “Randomness in these algorithms is crucial for their functioning.”

The birthday paradox is based on probability and randomness, which allows for finding collisions more efficiently than with brute force. By modifying the kangaroo algorithm in a more deterministic way, this…

Stop promoting garbage. If you precompute certain values, you might lose the effect of the birthday paradox in the sense that you are reducing randomness and possible combinations. Precomputation can make the problem…

Kangaroo is only probabilistic, don't lose focus, Kangaroo doesn't need much power to play the birthday paradox puzzles. Be careful not to ruin the birthday paradox in the search for more speed.

BSGS is faster, but Kangaroo is very good at aiming, how good will he be?

I can suggest these changes in libplugin-pay.c.
