WOW!
Somebody (maybe the owner) increased the unsolved puzzles prizes again by x10 😱
Now the puzzle #66 prize is 6.6 BTC, #67 is 6.7 BTC... and so on .... puzzle # 160 prize is 16 BTC now
👍🏼🥳

Well, all the remaining addresses received a total of 872.2 BTC, so this challenge is getting damn huge.  Huh

I guess time to fire up the GPUs and make an AMD / Xilinx build of these solvers Smiley

What domain do you own/have?

I had a pool running over 2 years ago, for #64. People say they will run their GPUs but we only had around 2-4 people running consistently.

What would be nice is to know everyone’s fire power, and then decide what tools to use, and best setup. But most get excited in the beginning and then fizzle out a week or so later when the key hasn’t been found lol.

Two things you should never abandon: Family & BTC
i litterly just copied and pasted a link from github also . i have no idea if it contains some type of malware use at your own risk as i said im a script kiddie to invested to give  up now. my last question is why has noone made a website holding a escrow account that the btc would go to if cracked and split evenly appon such individuals when foudnd. also has anyone thought of good old Darkweb?? maybe paying a person to hack it for you or use their computing skills to brute force it for a lump sum if not half of whats  recvovered

Collaborative work can get you so far. In kangaroo or BDGS to say puzz 140. But it can't get you to puzz 160. Not even the entire planet collaboration would get you there. As for mere pvt key cracking with tools like bitcrack etc, collaborative work can get you far enough to make some winners happy. I would suggest the max collab would reach at is 90 bits. Bottom line, we need a new invention.
   say you even get to 90 bits with a collabed group with the m oney you make options are endless after tbh

Let's create a Large Bitcoin Collider then.
Personally id love to but i am no good at coding gamming and shipping packs is my strongsuit. if you or anyone you know can make such website i would know how to set escrows up and or someone should contact the mod of this group or one of the others as a "middle man" like i said before though id be willing to run my pc 24\7 till it caught fire or we cracked  the puzzle
also idk if you guys know either  theres multipule other groups like us. kagroos group and 1000 btc puzzle group aloty of hidden info and new people in those too id take a lookk at some the links can be found on page 1 think or whatever the main page is explaining it all.


And i have the domain name and hosting ready. Domain is 21 years old so it's solid. SSL certificate already setup.

that makes things a bit easier. let me do some more digging and ask some question to some fellow resources. i could possibly pay someone to sett it up if you have all that ready atm.

Yep it's ready. All it lacks is the application/content.

Collaborative work can get you so far. kangaroo or BSGS collab may get you to puzz 140. But it can't get you to puzz 160. Not even the entire planet collaboration would get you there. As for mere pvt key cracking with tools like bitcrack etc, collaborative work can get you far enough to make some winners happy. I would suggest the max reasonable collab would reach at 90 bits. As for darkweb, I don't like the idea, seems more like cheating and smells bad all over  

Bottom line, we need a new invention.

I wouldn't say that when 1000 people gather at a puzzle, unlike in the past, the chances of cracking the address beforehand skyrocket, the problem see is  the prize will take before you

through the searching ive done this could mean nothing but  i think #66 has to start= with 35

theory:  #62 has a start stop with 2 and 3  #70 has a start stop of 2 and 3. both a little apart in think the middle filling one is #66. starting at 35.................

Nice, now we have 15 more unknown digits. What do we go from there? Nowhere!

I'm going back to random starting point generation. And i think I've got one more thing under my sleeve that i wanna share but I'll have to try first.

This puzzle is very strange. If it's for measuring the world's brute forcing capacity, 161-256 are just a waste (RIPEMD160 entropy is filled by 160, and by all of P2PKH Bitcoin). The puzzle creator could improve the puzzle's utility without bringing in any extra funds from outside - just spend 161-256 across to the unsolved portion 51-160, and roughly treble the puzzle's content density.

If on the other hand there's a pattern to find... well... that's awfully open-ended... can we have a hint or two? Cheesy

I am the creator.

You are quite right, 161-256 are silly.  I honestly just did not think of this.  What is especially embarrassing, is this did not occur to me once, in two years.  By way of excuse, I was not really thinking much about the puzzle at all.

I will make up for two years of stupidity.  I will spend from 161-256 to the unsolved parts, as you suggest.  In addition, I intend to add further funds.  My aim is to boost the density by a factor of 10, from 0.001*length(key) to 0.01*length(key).  Probably in the next few weeks.  At any rate, when I next have an extended period of quiet and calm, to construct the new transaction carefully.

A few words about the puzzle.  There is no pattern.  It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty).  It is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community.

Finally, I wish to express appreciation of the efforts of all developers of new cracking tools and technology.  The "large bitcoin collider" is especially innovative and interesting!

The value of unsolving puzzles goes up 10X today😇

Now ppl can stop complaining about electricity cost, lack of intensive or lack of resources. No actually you can still complain about that last one. But the point is, the creator is opening up even more doors. Let's be grateful.

I'm curious to see now if the X10 financial bounty can accelerate or not as saatoshi_rising said "of the cracking strength of the community." if the resistance is due to the bounty or the network strength .... anyway I highly doubt that beyond 135 bit nothing will be solved no matter the bounty it will take something other than brute force

Congratulations, all puzzle prizes increased 10 folds.

Even puzzle #1 received 0.09 BTC but the bots stole them instantly.

Hello, I've been following this thread for a year. I stocked all of them, including many archives that were deleted from the internet, along with their source code.

I just came up with a new idea and I need a little help with it.

Do you have fast point extraction algorithm for python ?

Thanks..

Not: sorry for my bad english, i don't know english i use google translate


you mean point multiplication x,y for g in the elliptic curve?

you can DM me!

Yes...   publickey(x,y) - G(x,y)

I would absolutely like to understand who is the one behind this puzzle and why he should spend this huge sum only for prove that Bitcoin network is really resistant and hard to break. This absolutely make me crazy !

I will start to look with much interest to this thread and try also to find something, now find a piece of puzzle could be a life change chance !

It's superb it becomes really very motivating there will be people on it Grin
#66 at 6.6 BTC is superb

the address that issued the transactions contained 872 btc the person behind is not out of BTC at all.....  I've been on this puzzle since the beginning and the day I saw the one and only intervention of the creator of this puzzle I said to myself it's satoshi himself who is behind (but I could be wrong) just a feeling Cool

When playing with some iceland tools which is https://github.com/iceland2k14/kangaroo i got this speed on CPU
 
  • [24894.64 TeraKeys/s][Kang 28672][Count 2^29.29/2^29.10][Elapsed 06s][Dead 1][RAM 53.4MB/46.0MB]

Is it good bad fake idk but like i know iceland tools are good

iceland2k14 is proprietary and all his tools contain backdoor
do not use iceland2k14 libraries unless you want to loose your keys or findings
good luck

Really?  Shocked
I use the library, how can I find out, I looked in the Process Hacker 2 application to see if the library is connected to a remote server, but there were so many descriptions that I couldn't find anything

it's interesting now someone must have gone crazy it's a great motivation to come up with better code i think we haven't used the full potential yet i think there is a way to maximize the chance of a crack it works in python if someone did it for 1000x faster gpu i think it could be a game changer
