I found the "bug" of my previous attempts to increase DP without increasing runtime cofactor.

31 bits, DP 6

Code:

[1000] Ops: avg 48106 = 1.036 * sqrt(b) min 1164 max 119897 dp_ovh: 96.0 mul: 8.0
Stored footprints: avg    1719 min 44 max 4389

39 bits, DP 8

Code:

[20] Ops: avg 698950 = 0.942 * sqrt(b) min 219204 max 1848433 dp_ovh: 384.0 mul: 9.35
Stored footprints: avg    6410 min 1987 max 16978

47 bits, DP 10

Code:

[2] Ops: avg 11267030 = 0.950 * sqrt(b) min 7221075 max 15312985 dp_ovh: 1536.0 mul: 10.50
Stored footprints: avg   25820 min 16542 max 35099

No cycles. No "hey, let's create kangaroos and pretend they don't count as a group operation".

This only works for secp256k1. It is basically 100% faster than the usual approach.

I hope no one actually believes they can compete with RetiredCoder aka 3Emi. It looks like a billionaire's hobby, not a contest. It costs at least 500K to break 135, but he doesn't do it for the money, and I won't be a sheep.

Good chit chat goings on
Do u remember bitcointalk user name MSN
It's appear right after puzzle 120 found, and all were asking who won that, and other Q related to findings
MSN user maybe I can say (Master Satoshi Nakamoto)
1 line post
"Simple math"
Long time I never see him online, nor posts
Here
Bro Retired coder, saying
"Pure math"

Let me define my logics
Simple math = +-x/
Pure math = +-x/*^, sqrt, cuberoot etc
Ecc math = above all + limit in-between mode N and prime order
Maybe be I correct or wrong
Compare KtimeG challenge game
KtimeG explain his finding By using pure math
And I explain it in above my posts with simple math

3. I have no idea how some people calculated time two months between solving #125 and #130 Huh

it was a year or so.

That is true, it was a more than a year

Puzzle 120 was redeem on February 27, 2023 (anyone can check it here)
Puzzle 125 was redeem on July 9, 2023 (check it here)
Puzzle 130 was redeem on September 23, 2024 (check it here)

That was 1 year and two months between puzzle 125 and 130, with >100 GPU

wow that is still a world record no?

All of them were Nvidia 4090 ?

5. I want to share my experience in open source, step by step. But it won't be ready-to-use software so everyone can just run it and wait for money Cheesy

Nice that is fair, any information about the changes on kangaroo is welcome.

Thanks for sharing your experience, btw i have three questions.

Why did you wait to much to announce it?
Did you receive external funding?
What is your ROI?

Some people here have made very strange conclusions. Again, to stop it:
1. I never said that I did not solve puzzles.
2. I never said that I used 20 GPUs for #125 and #130.
3. I have no idea how some people calculated time two months between solving #125 and #130 Huh

it was a year or so.

Reality is:
1. I used 20 GPUs for #120. I had to get access and use >100 GPUs for #125 and #130.
2. There is no magic in solving these puzzles, just pure math and skills. And some money.
3. I'm not puzzle creator, this is a ridiculous idea if you think about it.
4. I'm working on 135, but it will take a lot of time, I'm not in a hurry. If you think that you compete - welcome Grin

But 99% of people even cannot correctly calculate chances and cost of this game.
5. I want to share my experience in open source, step by step. But it won't be ready-to-use software so everyone can just run it and wait for money Cheesy

Ah, so you’re saying it’s not magic, just math, GPUs, and a sprinkle of money? Got it. So, basically, you’re working with 100+ GPUs and flexing your math skills while the rest of us are still trying to figure out how to unlock ‘easy’ mode.

Also, I love how you casually mention 'not in a hurry,' because who wouldn’t want to spend a year unlocking puzzles that are probably more complex than my relationship with Wi-Fi signals?

But hey, thanks for sharing your secret with us mortals. I’ll just be over here calculating my chances of success... which are probably somewhere around 0.000001%. 😅

Have you ever considered creating a pool to search the 135 quicker and split profits based on the found DPs?

Congratulations! This was all part of a psychological trick I created to get the puzzle solver or creator to come forward and clear up any doubts we had. Once again, congratulations!

You and the creator of this puzzle weren’t transparent about it, which is why I had to pull this drama.

Meanwhile, 3Emi...YESs probably already spinning up his ASICs for 135.

Everybody can see that the same person has solved three puzzles in a row, but still there are people who think that they can solve #135 faster.
Well, good luck Grin

At first, you can clearly see that he acted as if he had never solved those puzzles. But once we exposed the creator, who removed puzzles 120, 125, and 130, he suddenly started claiming he solved them all — 120, 125, and 130.

realistically, does anyone here believe it’s technically possible to crack 130 bits in just two months?

If this is possible, Puzzle 70 can be solved in a few seconds on a potato PC.

As evidence, provide us with an EXE file that can solve any private key at 70 bits in seconds.

Sure thing! I'll just need to borrow a quantum potato from the future, as the regular potatoes available today sadly don’t have quite enough processing power Grin

Are you going to start with that BS? Why as soon somebody has some success, everyone start talking about conspiration Theories? WHY?

There is no way to prove or disprove it. So there is no sense of keep talking in that way.

In his previous post, @RetiredCoder mentioned having 20 RTX 4090 GPUs and claimed to have used the kangaroo algorithm to solve the puzzle.

He mention that he use his own optimized kangaroo version, so what we can deduce from this is that the JeanLucPons kangaroo's version wasn't enough efficient as expected.

Go ahead and look at his optimised Kangaroo then.

https://github.com/RetiredC/Kang-1

I know he won't provide his optimised Kangaroo code but still technically it's not possible for 130 bits in just two months.

If the signature provided is actually valid, then @RetiredCoder may have some connection with the creator of this puzzle. I believe what really happened is that when the creator realized he messed up the timing and decision to remove puzzles 120, 125, and 130, he decided to offer the puzzle-solving community a “lollipop” (mini puzzle) as a way to make up for it.

Do not try to solve this puzzle, it will take years using a rendering farm !

Quote from: ?? on ??

So, are you 3Emi or...?

Why do I feel like these 120 / 125 / 130 puzzles were not solved recently? Who would waste tons of $ just to get some key no one really cares about anymore? Maybe it was fun for 120 but 125 and 130 are no longer having any fun, as much as someone's boredom toy.

This is too much to grasp in such a short period of time. I am giving up at this, it starts to become a bad joke, not a challenge.

I encourage everyone to approach this with maximum care, and if you are already good at something that pays for your life, stick at that as a priority. Sorry to everyone with whom I seemed to engage in a too provocative manner at times - professional defect on my side. Take care.

Stop comparing one program to JLPs program.

I am saying, given the same program, even one that you feel you have optimized in whatever way, if I run a single CPU versus a single GPU, which will find the key faster, in say, an 80 bit range.

To clarify again, your program CPU versus your program GPU.

I don't use JLPs Kangaroo program any longer, so you can stop referring to it when answering my questions of less/faster versus more/slower kangaroos/threads.

I don't see the point of the question. It depends on the specs of the CPU and the specs of the GPU. Kangaroo is about computing, not about memory, so usually it should be very clear what the winner would be.

It seems you want to hint that when you have an identical throughput (total jumps/s), having more kangaroos (that each jumps slower) is better than having less kangaroos (that each jumps faster). If this is so, care to explain what is the reason of why you believe it is better?

This signature is correct. He definitely has the private key for puzzle 130. The question is how he managed to do that with only 20 GPUs. How many GPUs are needed to solve any address in 256-bit now? Tongue

You need to be Elon Musk to have that many GPUs. And he won't do it. So don't worry. Grin

Hm

look like he need to be RetiredCoder.
