It is a real shame that the solver of #120 still didn't give us the private key.
Dude, if you're out there, please find a way to communicate it

This message is for @satoshi aka the author of this challenge, "Live long in prosperity under the bluish violet dome".

Now could you create a new challenge with riddles and equations for us to seek and solve please? We're bored honestly and it could light up the mood in crypto-community ushering new methods and never ending possibilities. Though not something that someone could solve them all with one go, maybe make them in episode where each riddle's answer is just a small piece of the greater puzzle. ❤👏💯


Do you expected a new Cicada 3301 ?

I really want some challenges like that, but diffucults please.

+1 I am also interested but I think it's just playing with the ripemd160 hash
You think? Lol.

Could you at least share the process, maybe some code somewhere can help you automate it.

Convert each of them into hash160 and look at the last hex characters, change their values in an orderly fashion to be amazed by the beauty of order amongst the chaos.
Have you seen websites providing an online(totally unsafe) service where you could just insert your desired private key in hex format and see all the corresponding properties such as addresses, public/ private keys even for many coins etc? It would be great if we could build an algorithm specifically designed to do the same for addresses only, this way we wouldn't need to count from 1 up to 2^256, we'd only need to represent 2^160.8 (more or less) total number of addresses with hexadecimal values, so when you search for the address #0 you'd get
Code:
1111111111111111111114oLvT2
for #1 you'd get
Code:
11111111111111111111BZbvjr
and so on until you reach the end of the address range. This is just for entertainment and would have no use case for storing bitcoins because you don't know the private keys, you might only know the private keys which you had generated before, i.e, using a wallet etc.

If we could manage to do something like that, imagine the awe of the beholder! Being present at such a mesmerizing sight!

Just don't forget to include my address on the footer of the site for donations, make sure to name me as the cofounder . Lol.
And remember, no offensive words, no sacrilegious words, we wouldn't wanna upset the boss up stairs, so we should skip 4 to 8 percent of addresses.

Congratulations to the person who found key #120.
I am impressed and I will be grateful if this person publicly discloses the private key and provides information on how he found the key, or provided this information in a private message if he wants to remain anonymous, and that I complete this information in the table in the main post on his behalf.
the same I am impressed because only those who ignore the difficulty do not express themselves while it remains a feat / an event !!
I just say congratulations to the one who succeeded but it would be nice if he at least gave the key!
you zielar  you said how you succeeded congratulations to you

Can you share at least two private key from each list to be sure there is a process to begin with? Grin
With the speed which I am progressing, you'd need to wait 40,000 years before I can get a single private key for one of the addresses, and that would be the address for #66, given everybody know exactly where to look.🤣

This is so inspiring! Thank you!  Cheesy

Hello there  Smiley

Congratulations to the solver of the Puzzle #120  Cheesy

I wonder which is the private key.

Guys I just found the true identity of Satoshi, here take a look: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Matsuoka

Go read his published articles from 2007, 2008 and 2009, it's all hinting at bitcoin. Maybe we could use his super computer to solve these puzzles? Lol.
No need to hide any more dear Satoshi, come out come out wherever you are. You never thought creating a challenge to test the strength of your implementation could actually result in a identity revelation did you? Now gimme my prize!🤣

No more because Excel does not accept larger numbers.

Maybe someone will find the above table useful.

EDIT below:

I also had division of each next number by the previous one, but see no sense to add it to this table.

I suspect that this puzzle can be solved by something related to HD wallet with proper seed (words as first as possible from the english set for seeds) or binary data (some simple, as hex 0x00...0001) as master private key.

Has anyone made a tool to correctly calculate the estimated time based on GPU computing power per puzzle? I could tell without any calculations that we are just scratching the surface using our systems, meaning it's not worth the time and effort, unless there was more bitcoins. Lol.

Easy way to calculate:

Take your speed in MKey/s. Divide range total by your MKey/s.

So if you have 30 MKey/s:

#66 has 36,893,488,147,419,103,232 total keys to check

36,893,488,147,419,103,232 / 30,000,000 (your total speed) = 1,229,782,938,247 seconds = 20,496,382,304 minutes = 341,606,371 hours = 14,233,598 days = 38,996 years to check all keys in #66 range.


And this is my cue to quit, lol. One could say, hope is a powerful motivation. That one is currently myself.

I had a few people want me to update a program that was built by someone else.

I have forked it, updated it and posted it. It now includes up to challenge #108. I will update to #160 as time permits.

https://github.com/WanderingPhilosopher/BitcoinChallengeScanner

It is a slow program but very easy to run, especially for beginners in the hunt for Red October (challenge/puzzle); but it will be a program like this that will probably find the key versus GPU power LOL!!

Enjoy!

Hi, v0.1 is working but I couldn't run v0.2!
What error did you receive?

I didn't load the dependencies. Now, Download the BitcoinChallengeScanner.zip and extract all. Then double click on the BitcoinChallengeScanner.exe file to get started.

Try that and let me know if it works. Thanks.

Everything is fine. Thanks for sharing.

Hi.
Good program. I started without problems.
It is a pity that the program is slow. But thanks anyway for the update.
Use the random version with GPU, if you don't know how, I'll teach you for 2 BTC  after I teach you some tricks, you'll be rich like Elon Musk. Lol.
Just joking. using GPU versions of any puzzle searching tool is more than 10 times faster, just saying.

Hi.
Good joke. Of course, I use different programs to find ranges using the GPU.
I can teach you for just 1 BTC. Lol.
