for compressed public keys

Code:

import secp256k1 as ice


target_public_key = "032f3342152eff6aca5e7314db6d3301a28d6a90ddcfd189f96babadc2a053d392"

num = 100 # number of times.
sustract= 1 #amount to subtract each time.
sustract_pub= ice.scalar_multiplication(sustract)
res= ice.point_loop_subtraction(num, target, sustract_pub)
for t in range (num+1):

    hc= ice.to_cpub(h)
    data = open("data-base.txt","a")
    data.write(str(hc)+"\n")
    data.close()

One last thing, how do I change the generator point in the script above? I even went to ice.secp256k1.py but didn't see x and y for G to change it, is there a way to include a new G in your script?
Thank you so much for teaching us new things.👍

Ps, I have learned that we could use inverse keys to do multiplication on a script which only divides, lol.

Besides keyhunt and bitcrack.

What are you guys using here, I see a lot of different script some Python some C++ got confused!

are you guys collecting private keys with one script and checking them on another script?

Also there's no puzzle to think about! just a random guess in a range of private keys? right?

What do you know about elliptic curve math? If you are new, I suggest learning everything you can about *, +, -, / of public keys, without knowing that you'd be searching blindly using BSGS and kangaroo etc, and don't bother searching for #66, #67 etc, unless you know programming and can develop a new and faster brute force tool.

questions please!:

1) How do I know if I got a Hit? And does it save it in a txt file?

2) Has anyone won an address from the puzzles using this? ( excluding the author )

this may be because secp256k1 loop stores the result in memory first, and exceeds the capacity of your ram.
choose a smaller amount and then change the target with the last pubkey in the database list (to continue from there).

More importantly, how to get compressed public keys as result? Lol I changed *65:*65+65 to *32:*32+33 but it messed up everything.

The 65 refers to bytes, it is to put each 65 bytes of the result on a different line.

For Mode BSGS that use RAM to store precalcualted data you can reach some Petakeys/s scanning for a single publickey.

... though BSGS speed is not comparable to the standard scanning technique. Just for the sake of correctness, you cannot compare apple speed with pie speed displayed by those tools. I only want to mention this so that no false illusion is created in the reader and he might think that BSGS is the means of choice and thus the holy grail.

Hi you don't need to be a coder to use the program just follow the instrucctios to compile it under any WSL enviroment.

For CPU my program is one of the fastest available today, Address/rmd160 mode can reach some Millions keys per second on a laptop, up to 100 Millions keys per second on a High end CPU.

For Mode BSGS that use RAM to store precalcualted data you can reach some Petakeys/s scanning for a single publickey.

So basically, you talk about stride option in already existing tools.

Skipping the keys or searching n times is not the same as changing the curve.

Then explain the difference please.

I looked at the piece of code you wrote above, looks like it works like BSGS algorithm, with a very naive implementation.
The first thing that you should do, it is remove curve multiplication at all and replace it with subtraction.
I'm talking about this part: PublicKey = getPublicKey(Seq_Bytes)
Every call of "getPublicKey" is very expensive, no matter which point you're uses as "G".
Just take another point (G*100) as a stride and subtract it from current point on each step. Than you will get 6000, 5900, 5800, 5700 and so on with a great speed improvement. Trying to do the same by replacing the generator point is pretty bad practice, despite the fact that from some side it will certainly work.

I made the code basic to express the idea of why changing G+ database is a fast way to scan (it wasn't intended to be fast just forget about it and focus on G, the database, and the range division), if you jump keys you miss the speed of scalar multiplication.
for that reason the random in the current tools is R+incremental (to take advantage of scalar multiplication).

example :
pk=148557384957383058
and your database capacity is 1000000.
changing G to 1000000
you would only have to search
148557384957
while the common is
148557384957383058.
and as I said when posting the script, everything is in the fluidity with which we can scan the database quickly.

It is a pity that such an operation will not work with an odd key))

Sure it will, if you add an odd key to another odd key ( our 2^256 key is odd ) you'll get an even key and all you have to do is to subtract the following key from the result :

Code:

a2a8918ca85bafe22016d0b997e4df5f

But why bother if you could add or subtract 1G from your odd key and divide it without having to do what I said.

You can always divide an odd key, if by 2, you'd have to add n/2 to the result, if by 3, adding n/3 etc to get your actual and correct result.

sorry my english is not good, i'm trying to understand by translating with translate, this gives me different sentences, so can you write the python code for the division you said.

I'm not a coder but here is the idea. Translate the following.

11/3 =

Code:

3.6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666667

Secp256k1 representation of the fraction above :

Code:

55555555555555555555555555555554e8e4f44ce51835693ff0ca2ef01215c0

11 decimal 0xb/3 =

Code:

55555555555555555555555555555554e8e4f44ce51835693ff0ca2ef01215c4

Subtract both above, result is 0x4.

Now the twisted division I talked about, simple :

Target 7, is odd, we add 3 to get 10, divide 10 by 2 = 5, and if we subtract half of 3 = 1.5 from half of 7 = 3.5 we get 2, now we subtract 2 from 5 to get the real half of 7 in secp256k1.

Never mind all the above, I have something to twist your minds, take the following key and double, divide, do many other things with it to get really confused about how EC works. 😂

Introducing to you 2^256 of secp256k1

you constantly act as if you are a genius who broke SECP256K1 but doesn't want to share his genius findings. On the other hand, you struggle in vain and miserably like many others to solve a puzzle. Find the mistake.

Now we add an even key to our 2^256 :
Target Pub

Code:

Target Prv

Code:

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000008000

Result : pub

Code:

02c028224b2c45bd797143e8f32f025e24601ed85f27ef310d7d55020a192ddba5

Prv

Code:

000000000000000000000000000000014551231950b75fc4402da1732fca3ebf

Divide by 2 , result :

Code:

0216ca7e1edb137684b4aa8a41fd0f8a89dcb773b9db807a9f3f864de2161735ff

Now subtract pub 2^255 from above, result :

Code:

03111d6a45ac1fb90508907a7abcd6877649df662f3b3e2741302df6f78416824a

Prv, also real half of our original target :

Code:

03111d6a45ac1fb90508907a7abcd6877649df662f3b3e2741302df6f78416824a , 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004000

I just enjoy making a simple division difficult and twisted! 🤣, now chop chop start your brain's engine and do some calculation, large fractions could be solved by accounting for the above results, not telling you how.

Dive deep and let your brain solve it.😉

increase the search speed of the Pubkeys, dividing the search range.

First of all, let me make it clear that this script is slow and basic, I did it like this in order to explain the range division method.

If you want to apply it quickly, modify keyhunt or other c++ code before compiling to make it work with this method.

The method consists in changing the parameters of the curve by x,y of a higher point (for the script I used pk#100).
by default the curve uses pubkey #1
what works in sequence 1,2,3,4....
pubkey #100
which works in sequence 100,200,300,400....

if we want to find pk# 3922
in a range of 2000:6000
in the traditional way we would need to advance +1900 pubkeys
In this method we will only need 19 pubkeys (1900/100).

the database is done by subtracting 1 consecutively from the target pubkey (in my case I need to subtract( 1), 100 times because I chose pubkey pk# 100 as divisor.

The trick is in your ability to use fast databases, the more pubkey you store in the database, the higher the divisor will be, therefore the search range is smaller.

I currently don't have what it takes to code in C++ using the quick search methods, my resources are limited to the basics.
I currently don't have an up-to-date pc to do the relevant tests (the disadvantages of the third world).

However, later I will share faster methods, ECC tricks.

So basically, you talk about stride option in already existing tools.

Skipping the keys or searching n times is not the same as changing the curve.
