Interested here is a question. If the end of the key is known, but there is no possibility of reverse recovery. Is it possible to restore the full key in this case? I remember there used to be a wif-solver-cuda program for wif, but is there such a program for hex private key?

It doesn't matter that the keys are in HEX. You can convert them to WIF and then use the according base keys to generate valid address. I encountered the same problem. WIF validation may be correct however there are way too many possible keys. What is interesting is uncompressed format there is a few less bytes to deal with, which in turn could be converted back to compressed if needed. Ill leave a couple examples here.

Can you tell me what is dp of 29, you mean the keys ending with 29?

DP - number of trailing zeros distinguished point

I can run either wild only or tame only. In any range. I sent you an email weeks, or maybe months ago asking if you had source code for your workfile reconfiguration program.

Sent you PM.

Any one here looking for a specific private key related to #125? You might have a lot of unknown public keys but you never know, someone might know the private key for just one of them, and to solve the puzzle all we need is 3 keys, 2 known in order to find the third unknown one.

So if you have a few keys and would like to work together, post them here to see if we have what you need. I will start by myself.

If anyone knows the private key for any of the following keys, we will share the prize 50-50 😉.

If there is a need to look for alot of different public keys in the same search range using kangaroo,
then you can make your work faster.
For example, our search range is 74 bits 0x4000000000000000000:0x7ffffffffffffffffff
First we need to prepare a working file. To do this, you need to run a kangaroo in this range with -w, and some public key that is definitely not in this range.
This is necessary in order to get enough tame kangaroos.
For 74 bit expected operations: 2^38.47 with DP16 it is 2^22.47 DPs and we need compute at least 3 times more kangaroos around 2^24.1 DPs.
Then we need remove wild kangaroos from working file. Our file wil contain around 2^23.05 tame kangaroos that is randomly distributed and continue their path.
After working file ready we must change the public key in the this file to the one of interest.
Also we need a version of kangaroo that produce only wild kangaroo, we don't need new tame kangaroo anymore.
Don`t forget that we need change the public key in the working file every time when change interest.
So every time we start with the same working file that contain only tame kangaroos but with changed public key in file.
And kangaroo programm got job from this working file.

For testing i a use randomly generated public keys in range 2^74, some are very close to the beginning, some near the end.
Here is result:

Expected operations: 2^38.47

As you can see all time we do not reach even expected operations/2
We do not count tame kangaroos that were produced once at the beginning.

I can run either wild only or tame only. In any range. I sent you an email weeks, or maybe months ago asking if you had source code for your workfile reconfiguration program.

I think the key is to set better traps, that is what I am currently doing, trying to set better traps for the wilds.

EDIT: I can generate 2^23.05 DP 29 tames in about 32 hours, while only running 8 GPUs.

As you can see all time we do not reach even expected operations/2
We do not count tame kangaroos that were produced once at the beginning.

Can you explain in more detail how to prepare a working file?
Than it can be opened for viewing and editing.
And of course, where to get a version of kangaroo that only creates wild kangaroos.

If there is a need to look for alot of different public keys in the same search range using kangaroo,
then you can make your work faster.
For example, our search range is 74 bits 0x4000000000000000000:0x7ffffffffffffffffff
First we need to prepare a working file. To do this, you need to run a kangaroo in this range with -w, and some public key that is definitely not in this range.
This is necessary in order to get enough tame kangaroos.
For 74 bit expected operations: 2^38.47 with DP16 it is 2^22.47 DPs and we need compute at least 3 times more kangaroos around 2^24.1 DPs.
Then we need remove wild kangaroos from working file. Our file wil contain around 2^23.05 tame kangaroos that is randomly distributed and continue their path.
After working file ready we must change the public key in the this file to the one of interest.
Also we need a version of kangaroo that produce only wild kangaroo, we don't need new tame kangaroo anymore.
Don`t forget that we need change the public key in the working file every time when change interest.
So every time we start with the same working file that contain only tame kangaroos but with changed public key in file.
And kangaroo programm got job from this working file.

For testing i a use randomly generated public keys in range 2^74, some are very close to the beginning, some near the end.
Here is result:

Expected operations: 2^38.47

you can try fraction-bsgs or fraction-kangaroo it do what you need.
Step1 substruct range begin from public key
Step2 devide G by 2^24, it will be fraction
Step3 devide public key by 2^24, it was first public key to serach in range 1.. 2^100
Step4 substuct fraction from first public key , it wil be second public key to search
Step5 substruct fraction from second public key.......

In simple numbers how it work. For ex. our desired key is 379 that lie in range 2^9
We want search in range 2^6=64, divisor is 2^3=8
Devide 379/8 = 47,375
fraction = 1/8 = 0,125

Stage 0 search 47,375 in range 2^6 => result negative
Stage 1 subtract from it 0,125 => 47.25, search in range 2^6 => result negative.
Stage 2 subtract from it 0,125 => 47.125, search in range 2^6 => result negative.
Stage 3 subtract from it 0,125 => 47, search in range 2^6 => result positive.
So now we need multiply 47 by divisor 2^3=8 = 376 and add stage number =>376 +3 = 379
Desired key 379 founded in 3 stage of 8

From myself that if you are not lucky, then this is a bad idea, very bad idea.
With kangaroo puzzle#125 need +/- 2^63 op.
With division you will have 2^24 public keys with search range 2^100 that need 2^51 op (maxstep 2) for every pub.
Total 2^24*2^51=2^75 op and this is not a guarantee that the key will be found due to maxstep.

It seems you know how to sing a lullaby, yet you can't sleep yourself. 😉
Only if it was so easy, though what could be faster than dividing or finding a divisor, is to figure out what comes after 1 for #125, I have worked on this for 2 months now, God willing if my calculations are correct, then I am 98% certain what comes next.

If finding a single character of a low range key is so hard, imagine higher bit range keys, so I was wondering, now that I have managed to drop 2 digits from 32 digits of #125, how long would it take for kangaroo/BSGS to search in this new range which is a few times greater than 2^120?

I have other question. I want for fun reduce puzzle key #125 to total of 100 bits. Can anyone tell me the steps? AND tell me if this is actually possible? lol..

I know i will land on tons new pub keys but is there a program that reduce bits ?

yes and with easy steps

I have a question, is it even possible to brute force a key like puzzle #121? If it's possible I wonder what would be the cost?
And if the cost is more than the prize, no use, if the cost is less than the prize, again no use or purpose for designing this puzzle.

Think about it, revealing the exact range of every puzzle in order to see if people could brute force them while either the cost is more than the prize or less, this doesn't make any sense and has no reasonable purpose honestly.

It wouldn't even prove anything, because it's obvious brute forcing keys especially 256 bit keys without known public key is impossible even if you know the estimated range as this challenge is the evidence.

So in my opinion working on any puzzle is a waste of time and effort if the prize is less than the cost, having a bigger prize than the cost of solving a key is also nonsense, because what? I have enough money and could use GPUs to solve a puzzle in order to earn something more than I have spent?
And if I have the money and calculate the cost to see it's not worth it, I would never attempt to solve a puzzle.

I think @Satoshi, or the actual designer of this puzzle should rethink and revise the purpose of this challenge.

Imagine even if the whole world wanted to brute force a 256 bit key, they'd have to guess the range blindly and keep searching forever.

It would be nice to have unsolved puzzles above #67 moved to higher bit ranges with their public keys exposed, because I don't think there is any shortcut to solve a key with no known public key other than brute forcing sequentially, though having a public key is at least something we could work with and improve on existing tools.
No public key = waste of time.

By the end of the day, all that matters is the prize. Whether you use -R or mathematics. your target is the prize. Do whatever you have to do to get the prize. Please don't forget to drop your closest calculations to the range of the puzzle. I'm always available for us to share some funds.

2^125 is big number.

I have a better chance then you do with more computations. Even if its centuries^millenia vs millenia^millenia There is no reason to call people p*******. Besides it being my favorite thing in the world. Unkind.

If you have any computations I would be willing to run a few here and there for you. They can be my Random or your random search. Odds will be the same IMO.

No need to be nasty. Have a pleasant day.

I like your ideas from this thread.

Don't understand them well however.

But I support your thinking here.

Thanks, please do tell what you don't understand, I also need to go over stuff a few times to actually realize my mistakes and find inspiration, sometimes when I talk about something with someone, I'd suddenly realize something new.

I will do my best if I can to explain anything which is unclear for you.
