What is the subject of your test? Is it related to this challenge or just a random experiment? You could use test net coins as they were created for the sole purpose of experimenting with the network. Someone will surely send you what you asked though.😉

Guys, I hope you are all doing great!
Can anyone please refer some python script that can apply point halving on public keys and calculates its half?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/half-of-any-bitcoin-crypto-public-key-public-key-half-4455904
Here it is explained but there is no python script there that can calculate it by taking the public key in question

How do I set the spacing in bgs mode for puzzle 125?. I think the following is not correct, I would appreciate it if you could give me an example. thanks

/keyhunt -m bsgs -f 125.pub -b -r 15000000000000000000000000000000:16000000000000000000000000000000 -q -S -n 0x400000000 -k 4096 -t 7

you will run it without -b command -b is for bits range

/keyhunt -m bsgs -f 125.pub -r 15000000000000000000000000000000:16000000000000000000000000000000 -q -S -n 0x400000000 -k 4096 -t 7

Even one bit different in the RMD hash is enough to invalidate the key ..

I am aware of this fact, but what else can be done? We rely on people like you to come up with new innovations quickly and give us the opportunity to utilize them. I request to all of you please make the function of keyspace and stride available in vanitygen, similar to bitcrack. This is one of my greatest desires. Lips sealed

If he has such a script 125 would be gone at 75 which can be done by kangaroo or bsgs in an hour or less. of course you can reduce by 50 keyspaces with pubdiv.py it is just you need to generate 1,125,899,906,842,624 keys which should take a year to generate

Good afternoon! Can you please elaborate - what is it pubdiv.py ? How it works? maybe a link or something?

I wrote a 190 line algorithm using python this morning. It reduces private keys in high bits to the range I want. For example, I reduced the 80-bit pubkey to 31-bit, this took 3 seconds and it took me 0 seconds to find it with bsgs. It found it while opening the program. My algorithm seems to be working. Just for mathematics, this is mathematics, I have been following this forum for 1 year and read articles on secp256k1 and tried to understand, then a month ago, lightning flashed in my head and I thought about the algorithm until today, finally I decided to write, as you said, faith moves mountains. I think bitcoin is not secure. Wink

you are the hero of the day. The forum has been waiting for its messiah and finally you are here. Satoshi is already trembling. Thank you for this enlightment.

Yes, yes, yes))) I am also a prophet!!! I even know how the new messiah will save us all!!! He will sell us a magic script for 1000 bitcoins - at a price of $ 100)))

What you should know, I believe Satoshi placed the keys at least in 50% + of each range, which makes solving them counterproductive financially.

Faith will move mountains, but knowledge will move them faster. The keys position within its range are randomly. You can proof yourself, just check the keys and calculate its position. That's no rocket science. Hint: look at puzzle 25, 31, 60, 63 to get a feeling of what a high position is and puzzles 38, 50, 85 to understand what a low position means Wink

There is no "narrowing the search range solution" for this. You wouldn't have solve the mentioned puzzle otherwise. The key positions for the known keys of today for this puzzle vary from 0.069 (puzzle 38) to 0.97 (puzzle 60), while disregarding puzzles 1-10.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

I wrote a 190 line algorithm using python this morning. It reduces private keys in high bits to the range I want. For example, I reduced the 80-bit pubkey to 31-bit, this took 3 seconds and it took me 0 seconds to find it with bsgs. It found it while opening the program. My algorithm seems to be working. Just for mathematics, this is mathematics, I have been following this forum for 1 year and read articles on secp256k1 and tried to understand, then a month ago, lightning flashed in my head and I thought about the algorithm until today, finally I decided to write, as you said, faith moves mountains. I think bitcoin is not secure. Wink

Give me a script in a personal message - I'll check! I'm a friend of Bill Gates - I don't need money))) just for the sake of checking all 190 lines!!))) what if you're wrong

you are the hero of the day. The forum has been waiting for its messiah and finally you are here. Satoshi is already trembling. Thank you for this enlightment.

What you should know, I believe Satoshi placed the keys at least in 50% + of each range, which makes solving them counterproductive financially.

Faith will move mountains, but knowledge will move them faster. The keys position within its range are randomly. You can proof yourself, just check the keys and calculate its position. That's no rocket science. Hint: look at puzzle 25, 31, 60, 63 to get a feeling of what a high position is and puzzles 38, 50, 85 to understand what a low position means Wink

My opinion on this puzzle creation main purpose is only to see how secure bitcoin private key, if key are less than 256 bits. specially 160 bits or less.
Creator himself have lots of bitcoin to run & refill this challenge.
There is no relation with random numbers to each others so far i can find.
Each time any random number is created its use entry op for his startup then use that as starting point to encrypt next one.

Your last post about thiery of startup seed is not valid for my point of view, it may land same number on low bit due to not having big ranges on lower bits, but it will not help on 32 bit or higher.

So far only hope for this puzzle still relays on bruteforce,BSGS,lattice attack etc. still need tools like keyhunt or more ideas. Pools are good idea still no perfect way to divide range or split range with active users etc.

ps:i like to say thank you to creator only this way public can see bitcoin private key even 160 bit random is not possible to break, so 256 bit is impossible.

I think when the creator increased the value of puzzle he was trying to give us some hint, by putting 0.09 bitcoin in puzzle1, maybe puzzle1's address or sha160 of the address or integer value of sha160 or its compressed or uncompressed Public's or public's integer, all this may be seed or there may be any relation with puzzle1, or there may be some conspiracy to mislead us.

That's just wishful thinking.
The most sane reason he/they did is because the "community" already discussed that puzzle 66+ is already hard enough to be worthy of that prize.

Also, the creator (for some reason) tends to include puzzle #1 whenever he decided to increase the prize.
Like when he spent 161~256 and sent it to the previously unclaimed ranges, he included #1 to the recipient: 5d45587cfd1d5b0fb826805541da7d94c61fe432259e68ee26f4a04544384164

Without hints to the main key - only bruteforce!!! It's very sad!

What hint do you need more than having such amounts which are directly pointing to the exact bit range where the keys reside? It is a game and a test, we play this game and they use our feedback to analyze the system.

Have you missed the recent movements and the signs of improving the old tools to make them faster?
If it wasn't for the latest prize increase, we'd be scratching our heads and using the old stuff without any serious improvements being done.

Don't sit around and wait for others to come up with a solution, try 50 methods, if all of them failed try 50 more, we never achieve anything in life if we stop trying when we hit a dead end, finding a way around it is the challenge and that should be entertaining to find without frustration, don't worry no one is going to collect all the puzzles any time soon, we have time and we need to focus without stressing ourselves.😉

what improvements - an example is possible? He is a brute force on the moon - a brute force, and in Antarctica)) it all depends on the power of the GPUs and how many of them there are! I'm not a laboratory rabbit Roger - to test meaningless ranges on me! There is a science of mathematics - it clearly shows - an unthinkable time!! And this is an unthinkable time - it does not depend on the size of the prize in any way!!!
