### How long does it take?
On my machine with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor, Fingerprunk is able to generate and check about
43300 keys per second. This means that for finding a fingerprint with a string of *n* specific
41000 keys per second. This means that for finding a fingerprint with a string of *n* specific
hexadecimal digits at a specific place, I could expect the following runtimes until finding the
first key:
| *n* | expected tries | expected time |
| --: | --------------: | ------------: |
| *n* | 16ⁿ | 43300s / 16ⁿ |

As you can see, anything above 8 or 9 fixed digits is pretty much unfeasible, at least with
a normal personal computer.
As you can see, anything above 10 fixed digits is pretty much unfeasible, at least with a normal
personal computer.
