Topic: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it - page 130. (Read 245296 times)

I feel the same way because no one will give you such a big big prize or big money for this small thing.  Because if it is not iskam, if it is not iskam, someone is so big or so.  No one will show big offers.  Maybe this is his new plan to increase Setar's ID or to take merit in his ID with their fake news. In that case, I will say whether anyone got this offer by participating.  Please reply me.
 If not, this post is to the moderator.  I will be forced to report because I don't think of anything other than harassing people like this Iskam post. You and I brother are right. It is Islam. I have seen it for a long time but I have seen it for so long.

Wrong. First of all, #66 is a 65-bit problem. Bit 66 is always 1. Computationally it can be discarded, just like all the known 0 bits.


10 days to find requires 38 TH/s (7% of total current Bitcoin network hash rate)
200GH/s requires 1988 days.

Now, a "hash" means "obtain some EC point for which k is known + SHA + RIPE + check match".  No one said those are zero-overhead operations.

I'd dare to assert that #130 will be found before #66.  I have some theoretical and practical thoughts that make me conjunct that puzzles 135 to 160 will also be found before #66, in absence of any surplus proved bit of information we don't yet know (not non-sense).

There is a flag in your logic if you don't see it, then it is a disappointment

Try this to figure it out, multiply puzzle #130 by 4 then subtract the result from this key
Then divide the result by 4 and subtract add the result to puzzle key, you should see
The reason why that is happening  is because it starts with 3.

To find a 66-bit number within 10 days with regular brute force, you would need to check approximately 200 giga/hashes - addresses per second.  It doesn't matter if it's an even or odd number.


Look here average PRNGs speed
https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/gpugems3/part-vi-gpu-computing/chapter-37-efficient-random-number-generation-and-application


And we need PRNGs Average Time:  0.000000000002  seconds to solve Puzzle 66  

And then all other parts of the script no slower than this.

It's not a programming language problem.

There is no hardware on Earth that could reach this speed.

For 256-bit number a Type III civilization is a needed to solve this. A million years ahead of us.

A Mathematical way ?

of course there is. But I am not allowed to tell you the details.

There is not correct answer until the puzzle its solved it can be 2 or 3
Look:

how do you say this ? is there a certain way to know if it starts from 3 ?

it starts with 3. Good luck

can anyone tell me if the puzzle 130 starts from 2 or 3 ?  since the range is 0x200000000000000000000000000000000 and 0x3ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff can anyone tell me if its private key starts from 2 or 3 ?

are you kidding ?

it was not found because the 66 bit space is absurdly big for regular brute force

It is simple, every extra bit increate the difficulty by a factor of TWO

Puzzle 63 1NpYjtLira16LfGbGwZJ5JbDPh3ai9bjf4 was redeem in June 2019
Puzzle 64 16jY7qLJnxb7CHZyqBP8qca9d51gAjyXQN was reddem in September 2022

Puzzle 66 range is 4 times bigger than puzzle 64 make your own stimations

Puzzle 65 doesn't count because it was solved with the publickey with kangaro


No, all solved puzzles were in their respectives ranges, so please STOP spreading this shit.

Hello everyone, why do you think Puzzle 66 has not been found yet?
In April 2023, the reward was increased 10 times, but it still has not been found. What do you think is the reason?
Although many amateur people from all over the world searched, it could not be found.
Doesn't anyone have a chance?
Or is puzzle 66 somewhere outside this range?
What are your thoughts?

1 to 0 ratio so far for random unknowns is 1027 to 1053.
#66 adds 65 more bits, so 2145 total.
Let's assume # 66 adds 65 more zeros and no 1s. Ratio would be 1027 to 1118.
Confidence interval for [1027 ... 1118] successes in 2045 trials with p = 1/2 is 95%.
In other words, even if puzzle 66 is full of zeros and the fixed 1, it's still in the 95% expectation range, so it would only be an anomaly from other perspectives.
If confidence range would be really low, we can suspect that the unknowns don't follow a uniform chance to appear, so there is manipulation (e.g. a hidden pattern).

Unfortunately naturally occurring randomness looks like patterns, until you simulate 10.000 times and you realize each one has completely different results over time. Sometimes the cumulative/average/whatever probabilities will go down, sometimes they will jump all over the place, intersect, don't intersect, swap places, dance with each other, or go into opposite extremes (and then return to the other side, or maybe not). An yes, this happens when you use a maximum entropy source, e.g. actual unpredictable noise. It will behave "strange" each time.

So yeah, there is a pattern, it's called randomness. What can we do about it? Let's pretend to assume that the 1 and 0 frequencies should approach an uniform distribution (central limit theorem). This will only happen when we have an infinite number of samples. Until that point, anything is possible within the confidence range, because of binomial distribution of limited number of samples. So #66 can be full of 0, full of 1, or any other combination, and it would still be completely normal within 95% accuracy.

Otherwise, filling out randomness on top of randomness by any pattern or set of patterns has the problem that it can be done in 2^n ways.
Even if assuming that we need to have an equal amount of 0 and 1 still means to check comb(65, 32) possibilities, which is a ***load of candidates itself, as it's the peak of the distribution.

Tell that to the linear regression

I partially agree that the directions are random, but when generating the prediction using linear regression the prediction does not seem to behave as random. If that were the case, my results should be close to a 50 average difference and this does not seem to be the case as the average comes out to 27,81. See the Differ column

Not even something unintentional ?

there is no pattern.
i can exactly tell you why:

The creator of the puzzle posted already, that he created a wallet and masked the keys to match in the key range with 0
Therefore 256 adresses have been generated and he just put as many 000 to fit in. So it is kinda random.
No rythm, no nothing involved.

Viewing it at that level of precision, it obviously corresponds to a regression line corresponding to 2^n.
The problem comes when inferring where the private address falls in the range 2^n-1 -2^n when n>50, in this case if a random pattern exists here it will be very difficult to find it in the range.
However, a prediction with linear regression can give us a clue that could be +15% -15% or 30% of the predicted value, which in the case of the range for bit 66 and greater is still an astronomical number.

I also think that too.

Maybe some HD wallet with some specific parameters...

There should be an algorithm.
