Something interesting.
I posted this in the first post of this thread:
I checked now that address, and I got another mysterious transaction
But this transaction doesn't seem to be with generated private keys, probably the sender grabbed dozens of existing addresses and sent a low amount to all of them...
Maybe the creator of this puzzle sending some signals?

So I was checking this transaction more in detail, look at the addresses where the funds came from:
https://blockchain.info/address/123KDU1b3PNfP7PHDvcXsgGVxHvMdskh2Y
https://blockchain.info/address/1JYt8iJd6ZdQu39VJ5LCzXHWArdkZaCXXq

https://blockchain.info/address/1AtsKkuA7J37izvwFfvpsniQa7ZKcQ1WXP
Look at the amount of transactions that are done on a similar way as the transaction from this puzzle!
They are not 100% like the puzzle but still... hundreds and hundreds of transactions done in a similar way.
it looks to me this transaction sent to my address was done by the creator of the puzzle.
To the creator of the puzzle: any hints you want to give us to solve this puzzle?
These local "idiots", including amaclin, have already claimed 50 of the 256 rewards.

Should that be these?
Anyway I just wanted to say that this is an interesting thread and I think is likely to be a test of some sort of key generation method that has been used for cold storage (so I think the creator of the puzzle would like you to keep at it).

this is the sequence:
and this is x = y - 2^n:

Given the numbers we are dealing with you should probably use a log scale.

if you dont know if there is sequence or not, why are you talking shit?
Because this is public resource and anyone can say whatever he wantsGood point
Is there any way to tell what time an address was generated? I'm asking because the results for x = y / 2^n could be converted to a time of day.
That's not possible

why would u try to solve a sequence of random numbers
Because everyone reads only the subject of this topic

a player of one special word
its called bs

spam thread

found in a transaction
does the question even makes sense to anyone

Is it possible that the entity who created this is seeking employees capable of cracking it for its endeavor? I recall the NSA (or some other) putting out a contest, with the reward for solvers to become employees. Just a thought.

I'm not sure.
I got some infos that are getting me to believe that there is a possible formula behind it.
I give you an example. I'm playing around by creating random formulas, and I get pretty much similar results. Yet they are predictable with a formula.
All I use for inputs are 2 arrays, one with the current position and another with the sequential list of prime numbers.
For example:
Consider n = count, p = prime numbers, and y = sequence based on the formula 2^n + (n mod p) * Log(n+1, 2) <--- Random formula I invented.
y / 2^p + 1 and y-2^p *-1 are similar formulas to what was shown before for the var x in the real sequence, their results also appear to be random...
| n | p | y = 2^n + (n mod p) * Log(n+1, 2) | y / 2^p + 1 | y-2^p *-1 |
| 0 | 2 | 1 | 1.25000000 | 3 |
| 1 | 3 | 3 | 1.37500000 | 5 |
| 2 | 5 | 7 | 1.22406016 | 25 |
| 3 | 7 | 14 | 1.10937500 | 114 |
| 4 | 11 | 25 | 1.01234752 | 2023 |
| 5 | 13 | 45 | 1.00548399 | 8147 |
| 6 | 17 | 81 | 1.00061679 | 130991 |
Yet this sequence is breakable with a simple formula.
EDIT: this formula doesn't make any sense I know, just playing around
Am I the only one noticing that this guy makes a random formula using prime numbers and his first 3 results are exactly the ones as the sequence for this puzzle?
It seems pretty obvious that there is some formula using prime numbers behind this, no? And possibly the formula he posted is not so far from the real one.
Keep up the good work all!
Yea, I was actually surprised by those 3 first results since I was genuinely trying random stuff.
Maybe with some tweaks we can get to the right formula, if there is indeed one
One thing I'm sure if we stop looking we won't know.
31-33 doesn't follow the pattern either. I missed that.
Yes, I see, but it was well observed.
Here is a chart of those values with the ups and downs for x = y / 2^n:
EDIT: and btw,
this is the sequence:
and this is x = y - 2^n:

Nice colletive work y'all! Gonna try to use matlab to make some intergers experiments.
