I'd like to suggest a feature: option to choose a random start key. Also it would be great to have option that changes start key every N keys.

Does it make sense to do this? If starting at a random key, the odds of finding a target address is basically 0.

What If lookup for all addresses with balance, not only specific?

And if you look for a random key in the specified range, indicating the lower and upper key so that the search does not go beyond these limits?

I don't see what this gets you though. If you know the range, doesn't it make more sense to start at the beginning of the range?

Actually, it is not. Because many other guys might have done the same and if they have faster hardware, you're doing useless work.

But what they ask can be easily done with simple scripts and -s -r options, so it is probably not worth wasting time.
