sad we cannot see the diff to JLP's original kangaroo tool. Anyone dived into mikorists' code and can share some thoughts about the changes and implementation routines ?

BTC hashing is a bottleneck.

How to speedup sha or ripemd ?

Any other Kangaroo version known that is known to be usable for >128bit ranges ?

non-functional abandoned tool. Any other Kangaroo version known that is known to be usable for >128bit ranges ?

BTW How is vanity search "better" than normal brute force ?  Isn't it like you still just randomly generate private keys and check if they match given address ? 


I have almost the same speed in Rust or using vanity search SECP256K1 in random mode. Even with the fastest random SmallRng, BTC hashing is a bottleneck.

Seems that 125 puzzle and 130 puzzle BTC are sit on 3Emiwzxme7Mrj4d89uqohXNncnRM15YESs.

120 is also solved by 3Emi.

This 3Emi guy is definitely hiding something, or the creator himself..

Key 130 was found by the same person as the previous two.
I think he used Kangaro, and this person is a miner. The timing is roughly consistent.
I also don't think he will share the keys he found and how exactly he found them.

yeah I agree. I am using vanity for the small ones. For example there are around 10 Billion addresses starts with "1BY8G" between 2^66 and 2^67. I run 10 vanity search instances and daily around 300 unique addresses found. It is kind of a lottery for me. 300/10B is very good probability.

As for using Kangaroo method for 130bit ... as far as i know none of the publicly available software was able to do it cause they were limited to 125 or 128 bit (i don't remember).

BTW How is vanity search "better" than normal brute force ?  Isn't it like you still just randomly generate private keys and check if they match given address ?  If so ... then all you do is saving addresses that starts with the same characters but it doesn't increase your chances. Correct me please if i'm wrong.

Something else is happening here.

I think we are slowly sinking into conspiracy theories.  Grin

That would be cool... at least some fun here cause it's obvious we're not gonna find anything. Grin

Do you still have doubts that it wasn't this person who decided https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51803085

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62181304

With  8x Tesla A100 ? I have 6 in my lab. I haven't found anything so far. It's not just about the GPUs here.
Something else is happening here.

Maybe he/she is just a brilliant mind...and that person knows a way to reuse the DPs from 120,125 to find 130 and the rest.

I would like to know how he/she did it !

it's simple, he uses https://github.com/JeanLucPons/Kangaroo

hi i think this is user zielar https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/zielar-1020539 taking 120 125 130 he works in a company where there are many gpus i think the company doesn't know that he is using their equipment

Companies that use a large number of GPUs, especially at the scale of 20,000 or more

1.Google
2.Amazon (AWS)
3.NVIDIA
4.Meta (Facebook)
5.Tesla: Tesla Dojo
6.Cryptocurrency Mining Farms

In which company do you think it is possible to solve puzzle 130 unnoticed from the list above?  Grin

Unless he forgot many zeros in the suffix ... 37.200 MKeys/sec is nothing. Everyone can rent some 4090's and achieve this speed without much effort.

Hi Guys, Lets say I have the key for puzzle 68 already , How can I spend it safely as I have seen what happned with puzzle 65 , Please can someone help will tip

what happened with puzzle 65?

the guy sent the bitcoins out that found the privatekey, someone used the public adddress to quickly crack the privatekey and re-sent the btc to himself using a higher fee and his was taken



from bitcoinlib.wallets import Wallet
from bitcoinlib.transactions import Transaction

# Connect to Bitcoin mainnet
network = 'bitcoin'

# Create a wallet from a private key
private_key = 'your_private_key_here'
wallet = Wallet.create("YourWalletName", keys=private_key, network=network)

# Define the recipient address and the amount to send (in satoshis)
recipient_address = 'your_recipient_address_here'
amount = 100000  # Amount in satoshis (1 BTC = 100,000,000 satoshis)

# Create and sign the transaction
tx = Transaction.create(wallet.get_key().address, recipient_address, amount, network=network)
tx.sign()

# Broadcast the transaction to the network
tx.send()

# Print transaction details
print(f'Transaction ID: {tx.txid}')
print(f'Transaction Hex: {tx.as_hex()}')


by this kind of python script you can immediately transfer, make sure you are transferring whole amount at once otherwise it will take 4-5 minutes to find private key from the exposed public key for 68, try script on other accounts before use it for 68. (I wrote and already tested this script but it was last year, better to test it again by small amount account)
