Topic: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it - page 178. (Read 230884 times)

Hello everyone! is there any topic or a reply with FULL Guide on how to join you Gents in this quest?

I'm a newbie in python but I believe I can follow a guide if someone would like to help me start hunting with you!
I can run a CPU script on a laptop and a GPU script on a Gaming PC.

Anyone can help me Setup or Guide me? Please

Anyone here knows how to divide a point by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 and get a correct result?

Give me a few minutes, you will be amazed, I need to prepare the sample keys on laptop. Stay tuned.😉

5- another form of successive subtraction

Alright, after numerous calculations, I've come to the point where I need someone who is interested in puzzle 66 and capable of counting 48 bits within a few minutes. I have a total of 588 ranges for them to work on, with the opportunity to claim the prize of 6.6 BTC. Alternatively, if the author of the puzzle – the one who created this challenge to test the difficulty of increasing bits – has come across my post, I challenge them to assist me in improving my counting speed. I am confident in my ability to crack puzzle 66 in a matter of days.

It seems I was using ice secp256k1 files from 2022, after downloading the latest one from github I managed to get it running, but first public key I provided the script only generated 780 keys and returned error no 13, permission denied to open the txt file, my second attempt with another key generated 65535 keys and stopped, now what happened with the first run, why would it want to open the txt file?

Btw, how can I change the number of subtraction? For example which ones should I change if I wanted to subtract 50 instead of 1 and then divide?


k=mod_inverse(2,N)
neg1=ice.point_negation(ice.scalar_multiplication(1))


def ters(Qx,Scalar):
     ScalarBin = str(bin(Scalar))[2:]
     le=len(ScalarBin)
     for i in range (1,le+1):
        if ScalarBin[le-i] == "0":
            Qx=ice.point_multiplication(k,Qx)
        else:
            Qx=ice.point_addition(Qx,neg1)
            Qx=ice.point_multiplication(k,Qx)
     return ice.point_to_cpub(Qx)


Should I replace all 1s with 50? Lol, I'm noob.

Your help is appreciated.👍

2nd edit:
A hint for interested parties, 2^255, find it's associated private key and double it mod n. Cheers. 😉

Because i read more and figure the ways.
bitcoin is never moved, is just locked and unlocked.
The only change is who can spend that amount.

Awesome bro... We'd be waiting for the updates from you. share let us all learn. thanks

Hey guys, I just think to learn the script how this address are calculated.

because bitcoin has its own native scripting language,
While funds are usually locked to a public key alone, they can also be secured with a script.

we just need to know how the address calculated, no reverse math in here.

soon i'll update what i learn about the pubkey and the address.

because this puzzle was working on single signature (P2PKH).

Peace. 

for x in range(1,65536):
         f= (ters(pub,x))
         data= open(“halfpub.txt”,”a”)
         data.write(f+”\n”)
         data.close()

codes make life easy bro, copying and pasting could be easily done with a few codes... the files your notepads and editors can't open... say 100GB of pubkeys in a single file, you can easily manipulate the data in the file even if you have 1GB RAM... the point is the things you are busy spending hours to calculate, you could just build a program that would run it 1 million times before you are done doing 3. that's why it's called coding or programming... you program it to your taste. you could almost leave your system running all on it's own if you have the programs needed without even opening anything as long as you've written the program to fulfil your choice of operation. double clicking is too slow and I bet if you knew coding, we wouldn't be stuck with puzzle 66 or puzzle 130 by now... You have the ideas needed but you're not flexible enough to write the programs needed to carry out the operations. That's why I said sometimes ideas might be half in the bearer's mind but it takes another mind thinking towards the same direction to make it a full idea...

you know all the divisions and G factors to multiply with and but if a code should handle those ideas you'd definitely be solving these puzzles like it's nothing... you don't necessarily need to learn the coding yourself if you don't want to, but just try to get closer to someone that knows how to translate these ideas to programs and you'll see for yourself how you won't be needing to spend hours dividing and multiplying keys manually. just always make sure there's an argparse or a command line args which is defined already in places where you need to constantly make some edits on the code so you don't have to always edit the code itself every time. we all are learning and until we move on to the other side of the world can we ever stop learning.
