$100 credit with linode vps going to try cracking my electrum

[hashcash]

my 0.0123btc now seems worth cracking, gpu's are in pieces so i noticed https://www.linode.com/docs/products/com...t-started/ 


[size=1]Dedicated 128 GB + RTX6000 GPU x4
$4000
$6.00
128 GB[/size]

got $100 credit!


was to launch an irc bouncer and some testing but then i noticed they rent gpu 

dedicated 128GB+RTX6000 GPU (4 of them as a package) for $6 an hour.

whats the most i can get out of this to get it sucesfull? should i use https://github.com/sc0tfree/mentalist its a electrum wallet with version 11 i believe,

the xpub is visible and 4 transactions, the xprv and seed is base64 encoded of some bytes

Heres an break down of what you'll need to do.

You will first need to extract your electrum wallets hash and determine which salt type it is. This is typically done by using john the ripper. Once you have your hash you will need to figure out which mode it is on hashcat.

There is 3 modes for electrum, correspond to the example hashes to determine which yours fits into. 

https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes

See mode 16600 (salt 1-3), mode 21700 (salt 4) & mode 21800 (salt 5).

Here is an example of a rig with 4x 3090's using mode 16600 for number crunching.

Depending on the Iteration count your speeds could be significant different than expected. If you have a general idea of what your password could be using a base wordlist and applying rules would be the best option for attempting to crack your password. I would start by doing this prior to renting a system and wasting your credits. Familiarize yourself with how hashcat works on your current computer and the recommended drivers required for it to operate. Check out the wiki for several attack modes and variations you can apply.
