Also, given his work on the mining thread, I'd say that Evil has lost interest in this little piece of software and has instead concentrated his efforts on cracking the entire curve instead. Doubt we'll see him again here on this thread, but I stand to be corrected - pleasantly so. Rit.

Okay guys, I have found the reason why i am trying to crack those for around 3 days now. it is clearly not a problem on my side, but the "Secret Exponent" Field is size limited on the brainwallet.org website. Meaning if you paste in a number which is too long, the end gets cut off. DOH! Please repeat the process with numbers, that actually fit in the secret exponent field completely. Sorry for this inconvenience ... If you generate your address completely as to the manual, and the exponent does not get cut off, I will need around 15 minutes per Private Key MAX!
