You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have a saved session of a cracking session with 2 cards(4 gpus).
Now i added 2 more, but i get this error :

ERROR: Loaded number of devices is async to data in restore file

I noted my progress before cancelling and installing new card :
757431091200000

Thank you in advance.


Answer :

Look below for a 'hack resume' method by Hash-IT
Pull the two new cards and continue, or start over, cant be changing things in the middle of the game.
This may be completely wrong but, if you are running a brute force I wonder if this will work ?

Take a note of the percentage you are at and then install your cards. Make a new session by brute forcing in the other direction.

For example if you were doing this...


-1 ABCDEF0123456789 ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1


Install your cards and then run this....


-1 9876543210FEDCBA ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

Say you were at 50% when you swap your cards, keep cracking with the new cards and command until you reach 50%.

I may not have worked this out right but I am sure someone will tell us. Smile

Ha, thank you Smile

My mind might be faulty though Sad We will have to see if anyone more knowledgeable can put me straight.
You might be able to resume using -d 1,2
