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

EDIT: If you find the solution feel free to leave a tip 1DPUhjHvd2K4ZkycVHEJiN6wba79j5V1u3

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?

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".

okay, if there's no secrets on private keys for bitcoin puzzle wallets,(if choosed randomly)

how it's puzzle wallet then? it's not puzzle, it's just searching for luck for the one random of keys between trillions of keys.
we can't solve , because there;s no secret in it, but we can keep searching and try our luck, is not?

= 102.66 BTC

I have no idea what the phrase means, and no I won't. It's not your money nor do you deserve it.

From where you have this calculations?

Tap on the matte canteen. Read the topic from the beginning, then come back here, remove your miserable post and beg forgiveness.

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.

It is still called "the 32 BTC prize"  but the prize is really more than 100 BTC ...
