Not sure why everyone insists there is zero chance that whoever solved #125 or #64 doesn’t know about this thread/topic.

Y’all act like no one else can scan transactions and find the pattern. If someone did it and shared it here, I’d bet others saw the same pattern and didn’t share it here.

Lots of smart people out there. Someone else could have saw the patterns and chased the patterns. How many solved challenges have been announced on here by a member? I don’t know, but I’m curious to know if many were unannounced and members on here applied bsgs or kangaroo to find private keys, like what was done with #64.

No one said it's zero chance whoever solved the puzzle doesn't know about this thread .. we said zero chance they don't know about THE PUZZLE ITSELF .. and even if someone discovered the puzzle transactions by their own means, this would also mean they now know it's a puzzle to solve .. what we think is impossible, is that someone randomly solved a key by random cracking rich addresses until it found a UTXO that happens to be the puzzle #120 address. That my friend, is ultra impossible.

Cool story bro...

I highly suggest NOT TO CLICK TO ANY OF THOSE RUSSIAN LINKS. This is a new user account just registered here. Obviously containing malware. Be warned!. Anyone interested in Kangaroo should get it from Github from its original author/s.

Don't panic. I clicked on all of those links and i'm still alive. These are just bunch of descritptions (in english)... nothing useful really...

Hi Puzzle hunters,

On the Kangaroo method : https://cryptodeeptech.ru/kangaroo/

Where we can found the RangeNonce python script ?

Did some of you know more about the Frey ruck attack ?

125 isn't solved. 120 was.

BTW I don't think there is any hidden pattern here. It would be pointless to make this like that.

I think this is more like fuse for checking how safe bitcoin is and how fast computational power grows over the years.

I'm not sure if that is true but i saw information that all the puzzle addresses was generated simply by bitcoin core client and just reduced some numbers from the beginning to match every bit range.
If that is the case then seeking for patterns is pointless. There are two things that counts : computational power and new revolutionary methods of calculating. ... just my thoughts...

Fat fingered it! Lol. Correct, I meant 120.

When I say pattern I am talking about how these challenges (transaction deposits) were first discovered, not on how to solve them.

So ... Let's assume what an average person currently can do:

1. Cracking puzzle 66 - Unknown public key, so only blind generating private keys in hope to find that one which matches the address of puzzle 66. It could happen but i would say chances are almost zero.

2. Cracking puzzle 125 - Known public key, so BSGS or Kangraoo could be used .. but still the bitrange here starts to be a bit crazy ... Chances are also almost zero (i mean if you have one PC with one GPU)

Almost Zero is accurate. I would consider myself luckier thn a lottery winner if i could find either of those two prv keys using one PC and one GPU.. This game is now turning into a "who got more resources" game.

That's an impossible scenario, particularly if they are not the original owner of the address.

Lol yeah I was stunned when i read it. Imagine someone randomly trying to crack any of the UTXO addresses, only to land specifically on the private key of puzzle 120. Should be the luckiest creature in the entire universe. Not even exaggerating. Chances are slimmer than one in the number of entire atoms in the universe. In fact, random cracking ANY address would be as hard as any other. Pick any address, even an empty one, and try to crack it, you'll spend your entire life doing it with no luck. Your children and grand grand children would spend their entire lives and still no success. It's never gonna happen unless you deliberately search for low entropy private keys using huge resources or try cracking a full entropy prv key using quantum code.

Puzzle 120 solver, definatly very well know about these threads, related developments, bitcrack, kangaroo, vantisearch, keyhunt, bsgs etc,
options are for puzzle 64 and 120, solver never post prvkeys,
maybe puzzle creator ... just for make puzzle live, as no new development, group based attempts by developer, gpu farmers, and individual attempts by useing other develop apps,
reason, puzzle 120 pickup to new address, and no used,
in past every solved puzzle's were cash out by thier solver, for their needs, if they are developer, finder, coder, etc, every one need money, upon they find, they cashout, put puzzle 120 solver too easy, not picked up fork's, and nor cashout, simple transfer to an other address and waiting, what people try new things,
and here threads once asked prvkey, and no more talks, seems every one no more interest, due to silence from solver

Good for us crackers for the puzzle situation to be more discrete and dormant ..business 101: lower competitio equals higher chance of success.

Say if only one cracker is attempting to find puzzle 66, the outcome is he will obviously be the one to solve it.

I'm not sure if it was the puzzle creator who withdrew the money, and i don't vote fot it. Leaving the puzzle to be normally solved by other crackers should be his goal from the beginning. After all, he wanted to test the security of BTC. Having such small bit ranges unsolved for as long as it takes shows him exactly how powerful the Bitcoin hash and curve are. Solving 120 early would defeat the purpose.

this kind of action makes no sense. The fact of not making the key public and thus creating a riddle from a riddle only makes the whole game meaningless by the fact that there was a solved level whose solution we do not know, as well as the reason why.

Fun fact: Puzzle #99 is now = puzzle #100

And you just noticed this today? Too slow.
66 and 99 can make a double team 69, you know if you know, who ever is sending coins to them has a sick fantasy. Lol

Haha good one 😁 but I didn't discover this now .. I've been monitoring txs to and from the whole puzzle addresses since 2020 .. just thought of telling the community about 99

I have no idea why .. 99 and 66 keep receiving tiny rewards from some source .. it doesn't make sense for the puzzle creator to send a dozen cents to these addresses .. but then comes the question: why these addresses specifically?!

Could be that somebody is very interested in how #99 and #66 are solved, so he keeps them in the spotlight by sending these tiny amounts. I don't think it is the creator however since the puzzle is out there for a long time and also he could have created the puzzle in a way that you would get a much larger reward for those numbers anyway. So I guess it is basically just random. Maybe at some time it will be enough reward to buy large amounts of calculating power and solve it.

But why? If that was the creator of the puzzles, he need to ajust all the unsolved puzzles.
