[john-users] GPU support for electrum

[Sam Roose]

Hello,

Is there a chance to have GPU support for electrum format of hashed seeds
or private keys?
$electrum$1..
$electrum$2..

I noticed the electrum-modern-opencl format but this is only applicable for
the full-wallet encryption (>2.8)

Kind regards

Hi Sam,

Adding GPU support for these "fast" hash formats is not quite
straightforward, and we don't have a developer (read volunteer) with
enough free time to do so.

So such support is unlikely to happen soon on its own. You may try
encouraging development of such a feature by offering sponsorship /
bounty. Maybe we will discover some new interested developer(s) this
way.
