Hi folks!

I know it's been a bit, life gets in the way sometimes. However, I've released v1.08 of the Loneliest Seed project which aims to address the checkpointing issue.

We're experimenting with a CPU project separate from this as well, so stay tuned for that! If the experiments go well on our end we're anticipating launching a CPU app that will aid us in our years-long research into finding methods of reversing PRNG states in the Xoroshiro128++ algorithm.

Hi, has the checkpointing issue been the reason for the illegal memory access errors I've been experiencing?

Probably not, no.

The checkpointing issue would cause validation to fail but it wouldn't cause memory access errors.

I'm not sure why that's occurring on your system, but it's something I will look into to try to find a pattern.

Thanks for the update. Has v1.08 shown measurable improvements with checkpoint reliability in early runs, or are you still gathering feedback? Looking forward to hearing more on the CPU app side.
