I got a bunch of old GPUs that can't mine ETH or ZEC and for fun I am thinking of trying to solve the 50th bit with brute force.

However how can I get the oclvangen program to start at 1,125,899,906,842,620 instead of using random numbers and go in order.

With the GPUs I got it should take about 15 days or so...

If you have a hard time mining Ethereum using GPU then the best way and the most easy way is to register and download minergate. I am not advertising minergate but since it is the easiest way to mine ethereum I am sharing this to you. BUt with regards to ZEC I have no site to recommend to you. You can try my recommendation to find out if its a good option or not.

Why 47~50 transactions happen together?
Is someone know all private key?

LBC found 38-467 so far.

Let's be precise here. Wink

The pool found a private key to 8661cb56d9df0a61f01328b55af7e56a3fe7a2b2 (1DFYhaB2J9q1LLZJWKTnscPWos9VBqDHzv) as 0xade6d7ce3b9b. At the time of the find, there were 0 BTC on that address. This is #48 of the puzzle transaction.

Oh nice. I didn't know there was a thread about this.

LBC just found 38-42 of the puzzle transaction: http://lbc.cryptoguru.org:5000/trophies

I am keeping record of all of them in hopes to find a pattern.

I don't think there is a pattern or that this is even a puzzle. I think it's just a demonstration of security based on bit length of the PK.

If I understand his posting correctly Ryan has the keys for 1-37, LBC found 38-46 so far. (and some guys up to 50, although they evidently didn't search the whole search space as LBC does)

I also think there is no pattern, it's just random keys of given length. Some early warning system or security demonstration as you say.

This is seroius, lets see who can win this huge amount of bitcoin. I wish I could win this huge amount so I can be the richest bitcoin millionaire or so. Lets see who could solve this puzzle and then we could call the person a genius. But, instead of struggling with it and ending up in disappointment, I will just focus on my regular job to have some peace of mind at least.

Looks like all the transactions through 50 bits have been claimed and the 51 bit key has still not been claimed:

https://blockchain.info/tx/08389f34c98c606322740c0be6a7125d9860bb8d5cb182c02f98461e5fa6cd15

It is impossible to get all the rewards.

It is possible to get the next reward (0.051 BTC) in the sequence.

There are only 1,125,899,906,842,620 possible keys for the next unclaimed reward of 0.051 BTC.

At your rate of 5,000,000,000,000 trial per second it would only take a bit over 225 seconds to try all of them.

There is no hope of getting all the remaining rewards but it should be totally possible to get a few more small rewards from the sequence.

I have the formula:
~~y = 2^n-1 + [rand() MOD (2ⁿ-1)]~~

[edit] or rather:
y = 2^n-1 + [rand() MOD 2^n-1]

Trolling ftw.

This tx is weekly faucet payment to poor captcha solvers. Nothing interesting.

lol.

Great, thanks, to whoever was generous enough to give me some faucet returns.

Nothing to see here then I believe.

Back to the formula... no one found anything useful yet?

EDIT: If you find the solution feel free to leave a tip

1DPUhjHvd2K4ZkycVHEJiN6wba79j5V1u3

I checked now that address, and I got another mysterious transaction Cheesy

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?

https://blockchain.info/address/1DPUhjHvd2K4ZkycVHEJiN6wba79j5V1u3

https://blockchain.info/tx/152d726f7155ffdbb47ae564fe7950c574c3e1c9f1d30982a3504dfb7540b6b8

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/14F8FYRRq4VbdBQy9esYfBA4xvVKYGHZSQ
https://blockchain.info/address/1A8w1hSTSjbUQiiQ19XT3t5qHvvXKtehhM
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. Wink

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).
