Is that just the calculator?
Man, I asked for the equation solver...

just use linux bc  (basic calculator)

https://www.tecmint.com/bc-command-examples/

1 + 2 = x   

Simple linear equation, man, with one unknown, but using a big numbers in its full format.
I've managed to create a formula to narrow a keyspace till within 12-12000000, but it works for the addresses from 1 to 52, then numbers become huge and error is big too, hence i need some software which will be capable to handle such a big numbers and be able to perform precise calculations.

Yikes, everyone on this forum is so tense and ready to lash out at any moment, maybe its the stress? Yes, I am too lazy to read an entire 60-page thread, I don't think that's outrageous. The OP has literally no information, or link to it. Also, you still don't provide any sort of answer to my question? To me, it seems like you are justifying theft? "It's meant for us to steal", "The corporations are bad, they make so much money anyway", Why would you need to crack something if it belonged to you? Have some perspective for a minute before raging.

On this very page.  Search for "I am the creator".  Simple minded insult?  How about your very insulting first post in this thread:


In that post you insulted everyone in this thread.  At least I am only insulting you: Decimation, too lazy to even read one page of a thread before asking everyone else to do your thinking and reading for you.

So there is proof of this? It makes sense I just don't see any proof of who owns the bitcoins and don't feel like searching through a huge thread to find a needle in a haystack. Can you actually provide something useful? All I see is random info without anything to back it up except a simple-minded insult?

So basically stealing someone's Bitcoin? What if you had that 32 BTC and someone stole it from you, what is wrong with you guys? This is such a shitty community that you guys would call someone's own hard-earned Bitcoin a "prize" and even bounty it. You are the reason Bitcoin has such a bad wrap.

The original poster of this thread back in 2015 should go back and change the topic of this title. Because we are getting the same questions asked over and over again and it creates alot of confusion when it says "Puzzle" in the topic while this in fact is not a puzzle.

A puzzle is something that you can solve with a pattern, kind of like solving some mystery.

However the way you solve these private keys is mostly by brute force and its no different than solving for any private key the only difference is that these are low entrophy.

So instead of this being a puzzle its more of a test of human coding skills and available CPU and GPU and FGPA hardware.

Hi guys,

In continuation to this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/brute-force-on-bitcoin-addresses-video-of-the-action-1305887

While playing around with my bot, I found out this mysterious transaction:

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

those 32.896 BTC were sent to multiple addresses, all the private keys of those addresses seem to be generated by some kind of formula.

For example:

Address 2:

1ErZWg5cFCe4Vw5BzgfzB74VNLaXEiEkhk
Biginteger PVK value: 10544
Hex PVK value: 2930

and so on...

until the addresses 50 (1MEzite4ReNuWaL5Ds17ePKt2dCxWEofwk) it was already cracked by someone.

Any ideas what's the formula behind the generation of these addresses?

Address 2, pvk decimal value: 3
Address 3, pvk decimal value: 7
Address 4, pvk decimal value: 8
Address 5, pvk decimal value: 21
Address 6, pvk decimal value: 49
Address 7, pvk decimal value: 76
Address 8, pvk decimal value: 224
Address 9, pvk decimal value: 467
Address 10, pvk decimal value: 514
Address 11, pvk decimal value: 1155
Address 12, pvk decimal value: 2683
Address 13, pvk decimal value: 5216
Address 14, pvk decimal value: 10544
Address 15 and after, pvk decimal value: ?

The prize would be ~32 BTC

The owner of these Bitcoins spent them to low entropy private keys on purpose in order to test the security of the Bitcoin system.  He wants everyone to try and take them.  He then issued a spend transaction from some of the addresses in order to test the security of low entropy private keys with spend transaction.   He did all of this on purpose in order to test the system.  For helping with this test people are being paid for their efforts.  This is not stealing it is people being paid for a service.

Learn to first read and understand a thread before you dump a steaming pile of your uninformed dumb ass opinion on it.

There are so many and it depends on what kind of equation do you have?

Folks, can anyone suggest please any good and precise big numbers equation solver? Software or online, doesn't really matter...

Your question could be answered by reading the very first post in this thread.  Do that.  Did you do that?  I am betting not.

Perhaps the title of the thread should really be "Mysterious Bitcoin Transaction" but instead it is "Bitcoin puzzle transaction".
