Hi @zielar, nice to see you here

2. Someone has a tool to find #125 soon

As we know the puzzle 125 is 32 times bigger than puzzle 120 but prize is only a 4% bigger, i doubt about that such "magic" tool exists. But we don't have way to know.

If that exists it should be a mathematical approach.

I made some computations. Used Python 3. I was curious if the next puzzle can be ax+b=y.
d1, d2, d3 are corresponding private keys from puzzle. Needed to compute a and b.

We already know that puzzles a random and there is not math relationship between them

I made some computations. Used Python 3. I was curious if the next puzzle can be ax+b=y.
d1, d2, d3 are corresponding private keys from puzzle. Needed to compute a and b.

First script for puzzle 66:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import math

d1=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007cce5efdaccf6808
d2=0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000f7051f27b09112d4
d3=0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001a838b13505b26867

asqr=(d2-(d2/d1))/d1
a=math.sqrt(asqr)
print("a =",a)
b=d2/(a*d1)
print("b =",b)
d4=a*d3+b
print("next =",hex(int(d4)))

Second script for puzzle 120:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import math

d1=0x000000000000000000000000000000000000016f14fc2054cd87ee6396b33df3
d2=0x00000000000000000000000000000000000035c0d7234df7deb0f20cf7062444
d3=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000060f4d11574f5deee49961d9609ac6

asqr=(d2-(d2/d1))/d1
a=math.sqrt(asqr)
print("a =",a)
b=d2/(a*d1)
print("b =",b)
d4=a*d3+b
print("next =",hex(int(d4)))

The output is however strange, because a=b!

This means the next puzzle is multiplied and added to it the same value, I mean the multiplicator and later adding a number are the same.

First script gives:

Code:

a = 1.4068509690560507
b = 1.4068509690560507
next = 0x254d0fd348f800000

Second script gives:

Code:

a = 6.122671382779787
b = 6.122671382779785
next = 0x251a1b44dd0e160000000000000000

What can mean that just raising the value(s) of a and b can give next puzzle private key!

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

There are various reasons why we still don't have the key:
1. The finder wishes to remain anonymous
2. Someone has a tool to find #125 soon
3. The withdrawal was made by someone outside the forum
4. Someone has some other purpose in it, so as not to reveal themselves.

It is certainly puzzling that BCH and BTG have not been paid out from this wallet so far, while the payment was made to the address without any other transaction before, nor was it sent further - which also raises the suspicion that the finder could use some tool that worked for a long time -> found the right key and made the withdrawal, but the initiator himself still does not know that he found solution #120. A lot of unknowns, but I believe that eventually someone will somehow provide a solution, because the solution #120 without indicating the key to the public will simply be a blow to the whole history of these puzzles.

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.

Quote from: The_Prof on March 02, 2023, 11:18:44 AM

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

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!🤣

We are all wondering which was the privkey Wink

Many thanks!
A valid private key that is solution #115 has already been placed in the main post table.

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.
