Wow, ChatGPT has a crystal ball for identifying puzzle creators.

But seriously, we're not sure who the creator is. There was just one post from the user "satoshi_rising" in the puzzle thread mentioning increasing rewards, and true to his word, the rewards were increased.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18765941

But that's about it. He's like the Batman of Bitcoin puzzles: he shows up, does something cool, and then vanishes into the night. 🦇

Maybe it's time to recruit Sherlock Holmes!  Grin

You are all m*r*ns. Creator of puzzle is well known by ChatGPT.

It is a Polish guy.

Look at this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/chatgpt-wie-wicej-ni-wikszo-tutejszych-forumowiczow-5502994

Translate it automatically or just ask ChatGPT who is creator of bitcoin puzzles.

UPDATE


Guys, here's a new puzzle challenge from the channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkejrZuQadg, this challenge consists of locating the private key of the address 19L9vivFCPJnAVDsjZ76mF2ZiTLKFUXEpV which is in the same range as puzzle 66, but with a dot , according to the creator, next Friday, he will request a transfer, the objective would be to export the public key on the blockchain and test whether it would be possible for someone to intercept the transfer before it is completed through the RBF, thus removing doubts whether The same thing could happen with puzzle 66, so whoever has the BOTs being heated could do this test with this key. hahahaha.

Anyway, you already know the day, you just need to be more agile than the process on the blockchain, according to the creator, he will place the transaction at the lowest possible rate, precisely to understand if it would be possible for someone to intercept this transaction and withdraw before him, good luck.

Creator:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkejrZuQadg

Address: 19L9vivFCPJnAVDsjZ76mF2ZiTLKFUXEpV
Range: 20000000000000000:3ffffffffffffffff



complement of the challenge, According to the creator in his new video, the transaction will take place between 1-2am, Brasilia time (UTC-03:00), he said he will try to delay some blocks, to give people time to try to make the transfers using RBF according to the last video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe1w-AfL6qQ

Can you make this same app with gmpy2, I don't trust that  Iceland  ?

You mean in Python?

Code:

It's not a game of who is smarter, or how many smart posts someone has; it's about who can guess the puzzle, simple as that, or rather, who has more luck or resources. Embarrassed

Hello everyone! I found the key to puzzle 66, but now I have another problem: how to withdraw the funds so that no one can intercept them with a bot? Please repost this message so the creator sees it! Maybe someone can tweet this so that the owners of large pools can respond, whether they can add the transaction to the next block when it is found, without broadcasting it to the network?
Pls, HELP ME!!!!!

i can help you for a reward 15 %, contact me on dm

why PM and not publicly posted here into the thread where it belongs to? I am pretty sure everyone is interested you (or other wizards) can help such key finders

Judging by the questions, the person who found the key is a newbie. It will be easy to deceive him in private messages.
And here we gathered mainly those who are in one way or another familiar first-hand with the work of the blockchain, what public keys and private keys are.
And if there is an attempt to deceive, the locals will tell you if something is wrong.

Maybe he didn't find it, he may be lying, we don't know. If he had found it, he would have done hours of research without wasting time, found a safe way to withdraw it and vacated the address. I think he is lying.

He found 66 bit key   but he don't know what to do next ...  yeah, right ... Just another attention seeker.

better for whom? for bot owners? they will become more wary

You already announced it to the whole world, buddy.

let the creator pay attention to the problem of funds being stolen by bots from under the noses of those who actually found the key!

Why should he even care about this?  Roll Eyes

just help me contact the miners!

Honest question; is this really feasible?
Publishing the SHA-256 hash is the best way to prove you've solved Puzzle 66, and it's safe

Find a major miner here who is willing to purchase the private key from you. Conduct this transaction in a public setting to guarantee transparency and prevent possible fraud.Good luck...


I need some advice on how to publicly conduct a transaction. How can I safely hand over the key and ensure I get paid at the right moment? Any ideas on this?

You should first mix the private key and a secret message together, then post the SHA-256 hash of that combination here. For example, if your private key in hex format is '36b0f7381163cd38c' and your secret message is 'helloitsme123xyz', you should post the SHA-256 hash of the concatenated string here immediately.


This sounds very unsafety...

What kind of insecurity are you feeling? Do you really think that someone can crack the SHA-256 hash created from the combination of your 17-character hex private key and an extended message with no character limit, which can include numbers, symbols, and alphabets ranging from 10, 15, 50, or even 100 characters? If so, that's quite laughable. Let me tell you that it won't just be a hash; it will be proof that after the creator, you were the only person who knew the private key. Many have come and gone, claiming to have solved Puzzle 66, and maybe you're one of them. The sooner you post some proof, the better it will be. There is no method more secure and easier than this, You asked, so I told you. The rest is your own wish..

better for whom? for bot owners? they will become more wary, especially since I don’t have much knowledge of cryptography to encrypt my private key and post it here! no need to prove, just help me contact the miners! or let the creator pay attention to the problem of funds being stolen by bots from under the noses of those who actually found the key!

Yeah, I was trying to create a python script to extract all the info. Finally got back around to my to-do list lol.

https://github.com/albertobsd/ecctools?tab=readme-ov-file#verifymsgaa
I know it has been in your ecctools, but I could never get that part to compile on Windows, so I sat out to write it in Python; which I finally got around to finishing it today.
