Hello everyone.

I need a Python script that would check two text files, and if the text in the lines matches, then the script would write “Match found” and write the matching text to a new file. If there is no match, then it would write “No matches found.”

Can anyone help?

I write it in my native language...

def encontrar_coincidencias(archivo1, archivo2, archivo_salida):
    with open(archivo1, 'r') as f1, open(archivo2, 'r') as f2, open(archivo_salida, 'w') as output_file:
        lineas1 = f1.readlines()
        lineas2 = f2.readlines()
       
        coincidencias = False
       
        for linea1, linea2 in zip(lineas1, lineas2):
            if linea1.strip() == linea2.strip():
                coincidencias = True
                output_file.write(linea1)
       
        if coincidencias:
            print("Coincidencia encontrada")
        else:
            print("No se encontraron coincidencias")

# Llamada a la función con los archivos de entrada y salida
archivo1 = "archivo1.txt"
archivo2 = "archivo2.txt"
archivo_salida = "coincidencias.txt"

encontrar_coincidencias(archivo1, archivo2, archivo_salida)

It is not possible for everyone to be called the grandfather of Bitcoin, because it is for very talented people that is why not everyone can give the grandfather of Bitcoin.  So ~32 BTC will be rewarded if this Bitcoin Dada can be solved.
If you think about it, these puzzles are very simple, Satoshi hides a needle in a haystack and the only thing we do here is see what is the best way to find that needle.
Nothing prevents the least talented of mortals from, by chance, ending up with the needle stuck in their butt. Grin

Shooters Shoot...
I am the creator.

You are quite right, 161-256 are silly.  I honestly just did not think of this.  What is especially embarrassing, is this did not occur to me once, in two years.  By way of excuse, I was not really thinking much about the puzzle at all.

I will make up for two years of stupidity.  I will spend from 161-256 to the unsolved parts, as you suggest.  In addition, I intend to add further funds.  My aim is to boost the density by a factor of 10, from 0.001*length(key) to 0.01*length(key).  Probably in the next few weeks.  At any rate, when I next have an extended period of quiet and calm, to construct the new transaction carefully.

A few words about the puzzle.  There is no pattern.  It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty).  It is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community.

Finally, I wish to express appreciation of the efforts of all developers of new cracking tools and technology.  The "large bitcoin collider" is especially innovative and interesting!

I need some fund to continue for my discoveries and projects, or else I'll have to abandon these endeavors entirely. It's quite distressing for me, but I've been left with no choice. The creator's support would mean the world to me as I strive to keep my work alive. As you mentioned, "it is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community." However, if all members of the community continue to leave their tasks incomplete due to constraints, your measuring instrument will repeatedly break. Please understand that in this community, 99% of members may have limited strength, but they put in a tremendous amount of effort. Anyways... Today is my birthday Smiley
My man! Hope you had a great birthday, day!

Keep on grinding!

happy birthday,

Thanks Smiley Mostly, I work on puzzle 66, but today, being a special day, I was trying some of my old scripts, among which was a batch (.bat) file that I occasionally run. Today, When I executed it, I saw something like

Which made me quite happy. However, this joy was short-lived because the batch file was originally created to check some sample public keys during an experiment, Following this realization I felt quite disheartened Sad in that sorrow, I typed the above message. Cry

happy birthday, I hope you get it, for my part I abandoned my idea of sharing knowledge regarding puzzles, I was thinking of releasing the method once I unlocked 130, but this is a community that does not work as a community, I prefer to wait 2 months if possible necessary, to unlock puzzle #130 on my own without anyone's help.
If I can do it with a broken i5 laptop without a keyboard in such a short time, it means I have an advantage over anyone else in the world. But although money is not important to me, I settle for what is necessary (because I need it). If I later unlock 135-140, I will donate it to charity and projects that I admire.

Has anyone managed to find #64 and #125 (again) to get their private keys?

#64 private key is 0xF7051F27B09112D4

To my knowledge, know one knows the private keys for #120 or #125, except for the solvers.

I have a question, which is faster, generating the public key and then calculating the hash160 by adding and subtracting the private key, compared to calculating the hash160 by adding and subtracting the public key?

For example, I already know the public key of private key 1, to calculate the hash160 address of private key 2, is it faster to generate the public key and then generate the hash160 address by private key 2, or is it faster to calculate the hash160 by adding 1 to the public key of private key 1?

this might be a dumb question, but i want to ask that is the range of private keys which have P2PKH addresses, i searched for a answer and i found that it is between 2^96 - 2^97

the range is:
from : 1
to : 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337

or in hexadecimal:

from : 0x1
to : 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141
+100!
log2(0)=2^0
log2(115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337)=2^256

this might be a dumb question, but i want to ask that is the range of private keys which have P2PKH addresses, i searched for a answer and i found that it is between 2^96 - 2^97

What is your source to indicate that? Huh

That is the full range, but theorically any range of 2^160 keys can have altmost all the P2PKH addresses

I would say that if someone has been working on #130 since #125 was found then yes, it will be found, or should be found before #66, but I don't agree that #135 and higher will be found before #66.

For #135, 135 / 2 + 1.05 = 68.55 ops needed to find key using Kangaroo algo, so 2^68.55 ops. #66 = max 2^65 ops.

It will be an interesting race between #66 and those #135 and higher.
That is assuming pollard kang remains best time reduction algo in the next, say, 100 years. Look, we all have beliefs. I believe cracking both SHA and RIPE of an insanely big number is far less likely than screwing around with EC properties until O(sqrt(n)) goes down in some way or another. We shall see.

Ok, but 100 years? #66 will be solved before then 😉

It’ll be an interesting arms race…and that’s only if a group of people are interested in finding the remaining addresses. I have a hunch, they will.
