(I am also lazy and I made the fastest (for now) implementation of bsgs for gpu. The difference between us and him is that we let people use our developments and sources, but he does not. If everyone sits in their own world and does not share knowledge, then there will be no progress. And this applies not only to him, but to others as well.)

By and large, we all agree with this. But we need to understand that this is a sport and a competition. Especially since the issue concerns big money. Send a link to your product for testing. Thank you.

("Guys, can we make a wrap-up based on recent puzzle-solving scripts versions and speed tests?

1. What script is ideal for low-bit puzzles? For how many bits is this ideal?
Use with GPU or CPU?
Most recent improved version? Is it publicly available? If not, who is using it?

2. What script is ideal for high-bit puzzles?
Use with GPU or CPU?
Most recent improved version? Is it publicly available? If not, who is using it?

Thanks guys :-)")

As far as I understand, for both low and high, the code that implements the key search most quickly on specific equipment is suitable everywhere. Earlier, when I was in the subject and tested the fastest codes for searching were from the author of JLP, due to a long absence, I can not say exactly what the situation is today, with programs that are freely available.

Agree 100%, for example If I hadn't shared my code, the speed of my implementation would be slow as a highly optimized python code for the same purpose.

Jokes aside, those are some of the advantages of the Open source code, it is always getting improved.

Judging by the dynamics of the latest discoveries. I dare to assume that people who have access to huge computing power are working. Plus, perhaps good software, unknown to us. Perhaps these are miners. I also assume that RetiredCoder is a group of people with common interests.

 "This person is the creator, he creates insecurity in the system and wants only professional people to solve all wallets and real solvers to remain."  I think it is impossible. In fact, the creator of this puzzle did not do it to play with us. I think that this is how the security of the algorithm is tested.

The possibility of the creator being him is certainly among the available options.

But it is very unlikely;
Because the creator has a serious and patient personality.
The creator's purpose is not to mock us. He is to see the weaknesses in BTC security and to see how advanced the solution will be.

66. The person and people who wrote mockingly to the address "1Jvv4yWkE9MhbuwGUoqFYzDjRVQHaLWuJd" who first found the wallet,

RetiredCoder = sneeky777 = ideen777 fits very closely with these characters. That's why I also saw the common writings of this person and the transactions between their wallets. He has an account on Binance and an account that makes high amounts of BTC transfers.

A few options,

1- This person is the creator, now he emphasizes to people that there is something new. (Low probability)

2- This person is the creator, he creates insecurity in the system and wants only professional people to solve all wallets and real solvers to remain.

3- This person is not creative, he creates transactions, theft, chaos from many accounts to scare people.

4- This person is rich and feels like he has found a playground to make fun of us.

Good work to everyone.

Honestly, I'm just a lazy developer. My program, Keyhunt, isn't even optimized for GPUs yet! After more than three years, it's still riddled with bugs and quirks. But hey, despite all that, it's currently the fastest Baby-Step Giant-Step (BSGS) implementation available for CPUs. Not bad for a hobby project, right?

Now, let's talk about RetiredCoder. Maybe he just doesn't want to share his final version of whatever program he's using and that's fine! If he's cracked the ultimate puzzle-solving method and prefers to keep it private, that's his prerogative.

Did you even read my post? I'm not defending the guy I'm literally mocking him. Why? Because, clearly, he's an NSA Agent with access to alien technology. Oh, you didn't know? He can cast SHA-256 spells from a secret satellite orbiting in outer space. Trust me, I have absolutely zero evidence to back this up, but I'm pretty sure it's true. And as we all know, if I believe it hard enough, it's a fact!

Let's not forget he's definitely the puzzle creator, no question about it. The proof? None whatsoever. But hear me out he worked at Google and Microsoft, solved puzzles nobody could touch, and then conveniently "retired." Seems suspicious, right? Clearly, he's a retired super-genius cryptographer who now spends his days outsmarting the rest of us for fun when he gets Boring. Case closed.

So yeah, while I'm here fixing bugs in my little CPU-bound project, RetiredCoder is probably sipping coffee in a secret government lab, laughing as he cracks puzzles using his quantum computer shaped like a UFO. Who needs real evidence when the conspiracy is this good?

Now, some bonus corollaries to hammer this home:

    If RetiredCoder = Lazy Genius, then A != Amateur.
    If he has a UFO-shaped quantum computer, then P != Human.
    If Bitcoin puzzles are solved faster than ever, then S = Secret Alien Collaboration.

Ladies and gentlemen, the math checks out. Case closed.

Hi Alberto, could retiredcoder be the creator himself?
Yes, it's as possible as it is unlikely.

So, do you know him? Why are you defending him even though it seems suspicious? Or is it just flattery?

I know you probably won't answer, but don't you find it at least a little suspicious that he has the keys to the puzzle but still slowly publishes code on GitHub, as if he's writing it on the fly and making corrections as he goes?

Don't you think someone with three or more years in this should have had his code ready long ago?

For me, it's simple: either he's the creator or he's someone who just threw a bunch of money at him and is using the kangaroo we all know, trying to act interesting.

I thought you were smarter than that, but I'd like to hear a solid reason why you think retiredcoder shouldn't be questioned.

What? We can make even more ridiculous? Just like

- RetiredCoder is an Alien
- RetiredCoder is Satoshi itself
- RetiredCoder is CryptoWizard form outer-higher dimension
- RetiredCoder is NSA agent
- RetiredCoder is an Advance AI

Here is the full history disclosed for the first time:

Did you know? RetiredCoder is actually a time traveler from the future using advanced knowledge to crack Bitcoin puzzles! Or maybe he's an alien testing humanity intelligence with his intergalactic tech. Some even claim he's a NSA agent with access to secret quantum supercomputers.

But wait it gets better! What if RetiredCoder is actually Satoshi Nakamoto's sentient AI creation, learning from every puzzle solved? Or the reincarnation of Nikola Tesla, back to dominate crypto with his genius? Better yet, maybe he’s a wizard casting SHA-256 spells from another dimension.

Or, here's the wildest theory: RetiredCoder doesn't exist at all and is just a simulation created by Binance to hype up Bitcoin puzzles.

Obviously, these are all ridiculous, but hey if people are throwing out wild conspiracies, why not have some fun with it?

So please cut all the Drama and Bullshit and stay on topic.

I totally agree with you on this, man.

We can even say this.

RetiredCoder = sneeky777 = ideen777 = He is in management at Binance.

Don't be surprised guys, when you track your sources and wallets, you can see that the right addresses will come up here.

Which department do you work at Binance now? We don't know.
Do you want to explain? ideen777?

Or forget it, don't reveal your identity any more. Keep it a secret.

Sorry, I forgot to add. 66. The thief who stole the wallet.

There is a saying in our country.

Nobody threw you a bone. What's your problem?

The only relevant part is that the TX exposes the public key of a low-range address. The other addresses and the rest of the TX is totally irrelevant.

Once that happens and the private key is found (a matter of seconds, if not less), then the finder owns the private key and legitimately owns the address, no matter what some moralists think.

Since the private key is owned, then a new TX can be created, signed, and broadcasted, which can replace the original TX in all the nodes of the network, as long as the miners will prefer it over the old one (higher fee).

Yes the transaction still can be replaced, as long you pay more fee it always  will be accepted by the miners.

What is going to happen with the TX from 1KDwiguXGo4JFJoHA3azAHx4Neqkr76kKs ?, well as long the new RBF TX is accepted and actually mined, the outgoing TX from 1KDwiguXGo4JFJoHA3azAHx4Neqkr76kKs will be droped by the mempool.

I already did this test before on testnet and mainnet and the original TX was always replaced, the new TX was accepted and mined eventually. Old Outgoing TX was doped because the original TX was not longer valid.

I have a question: If the 66 bit original outgoing transaction 8c8ec6b3511c62500ea9b3a1c30ca937e15d251b55d30290a2a6da2f1124f3fb includes addresses other than 13zb1hQbWVsc2S7ZTZnP2G4undNNpdh5so, can the transaction still be replaced?

For example: If the outgoing addresses include not only 13zb1hQbWVsc2S7ZTZnP2G4undNNpdh5so but also a new address 1KDwiguXGo4JFJoHA3azAHx4Neqkr76kKs with an outgoing amount of 10,000 satoshis, and the attacker does not possess the private key for 1KDwiguXGo4JFJoHA3azAHx4Neqkr76kKs, can the transaction originating from 13zb1hQbWVsc2S7ZTZnP2G4undNNpdh5so still be replaced?

Yes my friend,

Apparently, 1BY8GQbnueYebq5d6CE1wDfbdAWWy33ZyW is this wallet, the hex code is 7545BF10859946ECA you discovered it. Therefore, if it is found by me, the first gift will be sent to you. Then, since cctvgo5 was the first to report, it will be sent to him as well.

For each hex code with another prefix, more gifts will be given. Thank you for the information.

Tell me, what program do you use to find a pattern in low ranges, and where can I download such a program?

7545BF10859946ECA
So what's the point? It's just a coincidence in 67.

This puzzle made me lose my sense of reality
