Pollard Kangaroo approach is for the know private key range and for the best, within 125 bit range and of course since you have the Multibit wallet handy all you have to do is "Once you located the files, if you have access to an old multibit app on you computer you need to import the wallet and export the private keys to a new wallet. If you do not have a copy of Multibit, you can use OpenSSL together with your password to decrypt the files and recover the keys."
You need the password to export them. I still have the wallet open every single day since then.
I just keep looking at what value i've missed out on
I'm confused, do you have the wallet or you don't? How come the wallet is lost and you have it open?
Maybe I'm missing something here?

hi members!
I have a multibit classic wallet that currently holds 17BTC
Somewhere in 2014/2015 i lost my wallet password.
Many attempts have been tried to bruteforce the wallet password, without any success.
KeychainX, dave bitcoin, everyone already tried to guess or break my password.
Would you asume there is a possibility to use software to try and recover my wallet using the Pollard approach?
Can someone point me in the right direction on what sofware and settings i should be using?
I still have access to the Multibit wallet, only the password is missing.
I have my wallet address and it's public key.
Maybe this could come in handy to extract certain transaction data?
Thank you
What I would do in your case is find out what version of multibit you had when you created the wallet, the type of encryption that the software used at that time and inquire about a bug on that date, the language of your computer keyboard, maybe you used an unusual character that those who tried to help you with brute force did not enter, there may be a character in your password that is not included in their tools, a simple space key, or any other, as well as the type of format of plain text of the file, salt, etc...I have a multibit classic wallet that currently holds 17BTC

In short, I would make a code replicating the source environment to avoid errors in brute force.
I have experience working with multibit wallets. Maybe I can help.
The wallet itself is lost. Dave Bitcoin has been working on it since early 2014, bruteforce of the entire range up to 10 characters has been attempted.
At one point, KeychainX found a false positive using the words i gave him, but it was just that - a false positive.
My only remaining options at this point are to handle this like solving the puzzles, but with my own wallet

maybe it's an encryption problem, some software have had problems logging in when updates are applied, or special characters that are interpreted differently.
Have you tried hashcat yet?
Wish you find your coins, good luck.
I've spent close to 250k since 2014 on this, so, yes.
Bruteforcing is no option.
Dave succesfully recovered a wallet holding +- 1800BTC around the same time (lost all passwords the same day), so i know he's a capable guy.
If he tells me after almost ten years it's impossible using the bruteforce technique, then i trust him.
I guess i'll wait it out until our technology evolves.
I have heard and read about Dave's work, seems legit and secure to give him wallet hash, best way to crack a wallet's password without giving him access to the wallet if he can crack it.
But password recovery and elliptic curve operations are different, however a 256 bit key is not possible to solve currently.
Just a friendly advice, never spend money on recovery before calculating everything scientifically, always ask experts for precise calculations of success, time, odds, probability etc.😉

I guess he must be very conversant with the password utils more than the private keys utils that we are handy with. But we will definitely say you should never let your gourd down because you still have hopes and you could just have a dream and remember what your forgotten password was... but unlike the private key operation, you can wake up from a dream remembering all 64 hexadecimal character private key or 51/52 compressed or uncompressed format of your private key... except you wrote it down somewhere or backed it up somehow.
Best we leave this for Dave to handle and maybe someday when we have the private keys backed up with passwords for stronger security against theft when the EC curve has been defeated... maybe until then will we be able to ask for Dave's assistance but right now... 66 bits is slapping our faces mercilessly that we don't know a way to tackle it...

The difference between your case and the puzzle is that we can't know the specific bit range just by looking at the public key and transactions from your pubkeys can't tell us what range the private key would be or else all of Satoshi wallets with exposed pubkeys would have been emptied by now. The best we would need to do is scan from first bit all the way to the end of the 256 bit range which of course would be like trying to scan for the wallets of Satoshi with the 50 bitcoins from the early mining... wouldn't pay off stilleven if you are able to scan for 1 wallet successfully, you'd need funds from 10 of those wallets to scan for just 1
Speaking of spamming the topic with unimportant content!
When you guys realize that in order to find a key based on address alone, first you'd need to break rmd160, then sha256 to get the public key and then find the private key based on the public key, since only public key and private key are directly related mathematically.
What you should do instead now that you are using your time, you should find any relation between similar addresses and their public/ private keys with their sha256 hashes, at least this way you are one step closer to solving 66 etc, because you won't have to face rmd160.
However, trying to do that will require more power and time than solving the puzzle #160.
So don't waste your time on something that difficult, try finding ways to go around the EC rules and break/ bend them either completely or partially.
For example, this is a method to partially break EC :
Divide a point by e.g, 5, then divide n by 5, and then add the result of p/5 to n/5, if your point is not divisible by 5 depending on the last digit of the private key, the division result differs.
Demonstration :
823 / 5 = 164.6
Now all you need is to extract 0.6 of n in secp256k1 and keep it for next operation, then after dividing 823 by 5, you just divide n by 5 and add the result of 823/5 to n/5 + 6/10 of n = 164
But what happens if we divide 822 / 5 = 164.4, just follow the previous steps this time extract 4/10 of n to add to your second result.
We just broke EC by simple math operations, though when your key is large and unknown, the fraction could be any percentage of n, but if you divide by 2 up to 9, since any key can only have 0 up to 9 on it's last digit, 1 out of 10 division + n/th + n/remainder will work.
I could never find these things out if I was still working on addresses and hashes.😉
You can use key subtracter by alberto, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/keysubtracter-test-development-requests-bug-reports-5360656
You could use a known public key and use -a - s with -r 0:f -n 30 to have 15 + and -15 of your known public key, however use -z and -x to have only x coordinates, then you can convert them all to decimal.

what I need to know is, how to get the checkpoints for the puzzle 130 and how many checkpoints do i need their x coordinates in the checkpoints? Also will the code print the target public key's equivalent private key or will it save it to a file? Thanks as we all learning...

In here we are aliens with passwords, we only work with public keys, you could post it here so we could check it out ( not making any difference, because we are stuck with keys smaller than 160 bit ).I have a multibit classic wallet that currently holds 17BTC

Regarding pollard's method aka kangaroo, you could divide your public key by 2 but before that either add 1G or subtract 1G then you'll have 2 public keys, original and it's +1, you could divide them both by 2 four times in a row, then add 1G to each result and divide all of them by 2, at the end you will have millions of keys, which would be impossible to do the division and addition manually you'd need a program to do that which doesn't exist, but if you could do that then for example you could divide n of secpk1 by 2 as many times as you divided your public key and input those millions/ billions of offsets into kangaroo and then use n/2, n/4, n/8 etc as your start range, you could subtract an estimated number from your n/2 and use it as start and add that estimated number to n/2 and use it as end range, I'd imagine you'll have to try at least 200 start/end ranges one by one and spend at least 6 hours for each search.
Wish you find your coins, good luck.

Thank you
I have experience working with multibit wallets. Maybe I can help.
hi members!
I have a multibit classic wallet that currently holds 17BTC
Somewhere in 2014/2015 i lost my wallet password.
Many attempts have been tried to bruteforce the wallet password, without any success.
KeychainX, dave bitcoin, everyone already tried to guess or break my password.
Would you asume there is a possibility to use software to try and recover my wallet using the Pollard approach?
Can someone point me in the right direction on what sofware and settings i should be using?
I still have access to the Multibit wallet, only the password is missing.
I have my wallet address and it's public key.

It will certainly be touching the checkpoint BUT WHEN NO BODY CAN TELL FOR CERTAIN!
I saw someone commented on my script saying how script generated checkpoints and stuff,, please study pub key generation before using this script
Certainly!!!
I did comment but never said script generated checkpoint. I said I generated the checkpoint randomly myself between the range of 130 bits so i saved it in the checkpoints.txt file. but I was eventually advised how I could get the key subtractor from albertobsd but I couldn't compile the code so I downloaded the windows version from WanderingPhilosopher and it worked like magic.
I tried it with generating 1000 keys for a test and I thought of how I could derive the decimal representations of the public keys of so many numbers most especially if we are working with billions of numbers. now I wrote this code that takes arguments for -f for the file you got from your key extractor and -o for the output you want to save the decimal representation of the public keys for the x coordinates as advised, which in my case I always used the checkpoints.txt as my -o as it makes it more easy because it's all in the same directory
code is below
Code:
import argparse
def extract_x_coordinate(compressed_key):
# Remove the prefix (02 or 03) and extract x-coordinate
x_coord_hex = compressed_key[2:]
x_coord_decimal = int(x_coord_hex, 16)
return x_coord_decimal
def main():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Extract x-coordinates of compressed public keys and save as decimals')
parser.add_argument('-f', '--input-file', required=True, help='Path to the input file containing compressed public keys')
parser.add_argument('-o', '--output-file', required=True, help='Path to the output file to save decimal x-coordinates')
args = parser.parse_args()
try:
with open(args.input_file, 'r') as input_file:
lines = input_file.readlines()
decimal_coordinates = []
for line in lines:
compressed_key = line.split()[0] # Extract only the public key part
decimal_x_coord = extract_x_coordinate(compressed_key)
decimal_coordinates.append(str(decimal_x_coord))
with open(args.output_file, 'w') as output_file:
output_file.write('\n'.join(decimal_coordinates))
print(f"Decimal x-coordinates saved to {args.output_file}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
def extract_x_coordinate(compressed_key):
# Remove the prefix (02 or 03) and extract x-coordinate
x_coord_hex = compressed_key[2:]
x_coord_decimal = int(x_coord_hex, 16)
return x_coord_decimal
def main():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Extract x-coordinates of compressed public keys and save as decimals')

I am still testing your code out @unpluggedcoin
I see something different and it's something good

I am about to hit it for puzzle 130... I need 5TB hard disk space, I just need to calculate the result from my search and I will fully understand how it works. if you can please explain 1 last time with this result.
I would really appreciate it. I am still very new with the key extraction and I am definitely learning very fast
thanks

Bro i am very confused with the results.txt
All i get is the same result in the xy.txt then 0 at the end of it in the results.txt
what do I do now? I am testing the code with much smaller bits because I need to know how it really works
please kindly explain to me like a dummy... sometimes it sticks faster that way

what do I do now? I am testing the code with much smaller bits because I need to know how it really works
please kindly explain to me like a dummy... sometimes it sticks faster that way
Code:

how do I calculate my target private key from the result I got below
X coordinate decimal: 70620163506976111171066173961856210080659139929929089024144375783710733217672
Y coordinate decimal: 60707605052923732375620988065125934494722916954686011896369305439279242056010 0
I would really appreciate it. I am still very new with the key extraction and I am definitely learning very fast
thanks

With 20 TB RAM and 5 TB SSD we can break 130 tonight if only I know how to calculate the found result from the extracted pubkeys from this code from @unpluggedcoin
important basic information.:
You can not only subtract points or divide them, there is also addition and multiplication, dont get complicated with floats or negative numbers by subtracting or dividing too much from a pubkey.
if you are looking for the
pk=1000
use as cap 1500
Now explore with addition and multiplication.
if you find 1500, subtract your addition or multiplication and you will get pk.
