Topic: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it - page 15. (Read 245815 times)

If retiredcoder, who extracted several puzzles, doesn't donate to JLP, who thanks to him this is still alive, what remains for the rest of you? I would quit the game. If JLP, albert0bsd, etar, ktimesg, mcdouglasx, WanderingPhilospher, arulbero, iceland2k14... people who contribute knowledge and different perspectives according to what I've read, no one throws them a bone, what remains for the rest who only ask without giving anything in return?

Why do you think public advancements and contributions have stagnated? It's because of the "vampires" who come to suck information without giving anything in return.

Dude, you're nothing more than a worm who sucks up to make money... if he had to give something to someone it would have to be me, I have almost nothing!

You’re absolutely right,  secp256k1 wasn’t crafted in a NIST basement after hours while someone doodled curves on a napkin. Certicom’s engineers clearly had their calculators charged and their coffee mugs full.

Yes, N and P were chosen with such rigorous tests that it makes me wonder if they also got their zodiac charts checked—“Is this prime compatible with our computational aura?” And Gx being hashed from a seed? It’s the most gloriously arbitrary non-arbitrary thing ever conceived.

Compressed public keys? Exactly, a necessity for network efficiency. We’re not here transmitting public keys like we’re sharing a Netflix password. This is high-level mathematics, not an Excel spreadsheet.

The incredible team is centuries of mathematical brilliance, not an Illuminati dinner party. Although, imagine Newton and Gauss collaborating on elliptic curves, it’d still be less dramatic than the conspiracy theories people cook up.

Now, about that challenge. Filtering DP on the lower limb bits? That’s cute. Higher limb bits? Oh, spicy. But here’s the real kicker—it does matter, and you’re correct to hint at it with that smiley.

Some of us have been tinkering under the hood of Kangaroo for so long that even the algorithm itself occasionally asks for a coffee break. So, yes, filtering DP correctly can absolutely tilt the performance in your favor if you’re hopping efficiently.

And no, we didn’t just try random bits for fun, although, admit it, the thought crossed your mind too. 

thank for the insight genius 

WTF are you talking about?

secp256k1 was not created by NIST, but by a private company, Certicom, in the 1990s.

N and P are defined after extensive search and validation tests, with deep mathematical principles in order to increase strength against all known attacks, while keeping computations fast and simple.

Gx is an arbitrary point, hashed out of some seed. Gy directly results from Gx and from flipping a coin, because of the curve equation. You can use any point on the curve as a generator, since all points are in a cyclic structure, there is no "starting" point.

Compressed pubkey is a standard to simplify data transmission, well defined by other organizations and protocols. It has nothing to do with secp256k1.

The incredible team you're talking about are from hundreds of years of mathematical advancements, and the vast academic world that reviews and studies the field. There is no secret organization.

You make it sound like a few guys went to a party, got drunk, and the next morning they published some secp256k1 with a bunch of random numbers, and Bitcoin adopted it 10 years later because why not. No, its not a conspiracy.

I have an intellectual challenge for the serious guys who stay silent but I know for sure they have really good and fast Kangaroo implementations (not JLP, of course):

Is it better to filter for DP on the lower limb bits or on the higher limb bits? Think again, if you believe it does not matter at all

How NIST create secp256k1, how they define N number and choose Gx,Gy and correlated with P and N. Then make compressed pubkey like mirroring each prefix 02 and 03 is incredible team behind this.. once again I just talk pure math, not sha256 or RMD160

Absolutely correct, @Ktimes. Creating slow Kangaroo codes from random papers on the internet and then modifying them to claim oneself as an inventor or mathematical genius is the most foolish thing anyone could do. There are only two ways to solve these puzzles: either you have to be a mathematical genius, or you need to be a millionaire willing to burn your money just for the world record tag.

I also think the creator might have already known who the puzzle solver was even before the rest of us did, as he increased the prize to 1000 BTC before the private key to Puzzle 120 was revealed.We will never know if the creator is the puzzle solver or its an organisation or its a single individual or its a relative of the creator or its a close friend of the creator. If you look at saatoshi_rising's last statement, it's evident that the creator also enjoys testing random codes from the internet.

Any implementation seems good when the amount of money you throw at it makes the bad efficiency irrelevant. Result? SOTA code! World record! In the same reasoning, everyone knows that Windows is a much better OS than Linux, if you throw billions in marketing. And Bill Gates was obviously the best coder that ever existed.

Money can't buy shortcuts in math.

So you investing your 5 BTC for buy hardware and chasing puzzle?? don't give up bro keep strong, maybe your journey reach 99% and waiting 1% to mission accomplished. actually for me after read your story its make me stronger than before. For me puzzle is for fun and testing my brain how far understand math behind BTC.

Man anyone can set up a good puzzle for me I am ready to win some BTC.. I am open for puzzles as I love them solving..

Hey guys, come on, pull yourself together a bit.

Many people here already have problems such as their economic situation, living situation and family situation. (Except for people like RetiredCoder.)

Nobody would send anyone even 1 sat for no reason. Because this time it would be unfair to other people.

If a man tells that they live their private life for money, this business shifts to other issues.

Many people here already have insufficient hardware power, economic power etc. I started with GTX 760 in 2017. I am still one of those who believe and I have 2 GTX 1070 and 1660 Super cards.

In 66 bit wallet, I found 102 similar 9 digit prefixes in a period of 10 months. But this year, I found 212 prefixes with the same hardware in about 2 months. This happened by improving myself and what I do.

My only advice to you is, don't trust anyone, yes. But trust life.

hahaha, genius?, do you really think that implementation, sota, is good?

While it is true that Bitcoin is robust, these puzzles are not, it's just that most of them don't search the right way, or don't have the computing power to do so.
I hope your request is fulfilled, and well, if you play millions of tickets per second in this lottery, the odds will always be there.

Yes I will but...
This 0.075 BTC is all I have left—it represents my entire lifetime earnings. I have nothing more, no hidden savings,
and no source of income to rely on. and I’ve reached a point where every satoshi counts.
Over the past 7 to 8 years, I’ve poured everything I had into this pursuit: my time, energy, and nearly 5 BTC since 2017,
Chasing a dream that always seemed just out of reach. But what has it brought me? Regret, defeat, and a stark realization of how merciless this world can be.

Even if the Creator were to grant my wish to 10x my balance to 0.75 BTC, it wouldn’t come close to making up for what I’ve lost.
I can never get back the time I’ve spent. And the 5 BTC I’ve sacrificed could have built a better future for me and my family.

To anyone considering stepping into these puzzle games, let me be absolutely clear: this is a black hole. It will pull you in, drain everything you have, and leave you empty-handed.
It doesn’t matter how smart you are, how lucky you think you might be, or how much effort you put in—there’s no way to escape its grip.

Bitcoin is an unbreakable technology, a true marvel of cryptography and innovation. But its strength is also its harshest reality: it’s completely unforgiving. There are no shortcuts, no lucky breaks, and no hidden tricks to beat it.

I stand here as proof of this harsh truth. I’ve lost not only my Bitcoin but also years of my life chasing shadows.
My advice to anyone new or hopeful is simple: turn back now. Don’t be fooled by the false promise of quick wealth.
I’ve learned the hard way that these puzzles are nothing but a relentless grind. They drain your time, your resources, and your hope, leaving you with nothing but regret.

Bitcoin is not about luck; it’s far more complex and unforgiving than most people realize. There are no shortcuts or miracles here—only hard lessons.

But through this painful journey, I’ve come to understand one undeniable truth: Bitcoin is incredible.
Despite my personal defeat, I realize that Bitcoin is not just at its all-time high—it’s still in its early days.
The price we see today is just the beginning. Bitcoin deserves so much more recognition for its true value.
For anyone doubting Bitcoin’s strength, these puzzles should serve as a testament.
They demonstrate that even with all the intellect, creativity, and resources in the world,  A tiny 67 bit key still remains untouched.
Yet, people remain hesitant, stuck in doubt, questioning its potential as a global asset, and unsure about the safety of their
funds.

The truth is, Bitcoin is a revolution. Bitcoin offers something unparalleled: Decentralization isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a lifeline.
It’s about empowering individuals, giving them true ownership of their wealth, and protecting their financial freedom. It’s secure, transparent, and built to withstand the test of time.

A biggest reason why I like Bitcoin so much, will tell later.. have a *good night..

😮 Man got 10x his balance? Wow I wish I could ger just 0.02 BTC so I could get a good notebook to edit videos. Let’s see if can break the 67 puzzle with my actual bad one, it would be a gamechanging for me.

Bro, you have 7k that you haven't touched in a long time, which means you're not desperate for money. So, why are you asking for more? I mean, just as you want to have 10x your balance, many people would love to have what you have now. Let's suppose the creator grants your request, would you donate your money to someone else?

10x means 1BGvwggxfCaHGykKrVXX7fk8GYaLQpeixA  :  BTC0.75000000
your else refund has been processed..

  your wish has been granted

Their private mempool, I am assuming , is not shared with their own miners who only need to report back the nonce so they can mint the new block.

In the last week, their pool only found the nonce 60 times -- Your TX could easily take hours to get a confirmation.

While you wait, it would be wise to have your own bot looking out on the mempool for a spend from the puzzle addr you sovled.

I mean, it is possible that someone just happens to also solve the puzzle at the same time, or a rogue miner got your pubkey from MARA. (unlikely)

If your bot spots the pubkey, you are fucked, since you are now fighting against other bots pushing the fee higher and higher.

You could however be very lucky and the next block just happens to be solved by MARA and your slipstream TX is safely included in their block.

It is worth noting that I have no idea how the inner workings of miner pools like MARA work.

We have to patiently wait for someone to solve #67 and take the risk.
