Alberto has nothing to hide. His work and contributions are fully open-source, and anyone can freely inspect the code, methods, and results. This transparency is a fundamental part of his approach, allowing anyone interested to understand, critique, and even improve upon his work.

His dedication to transparency, even in the face of frequent criticism, speaks volumes about his integrity. It’s not about hiding something but about pushing forward with reasonable ideas that anyone can engage with, test, and verify.

Not all ideas can be considered, especially if they lack a solid mathematical or technical basis. In complex fields like this one, rigorous testing and validation are key.

BSGS relies on extensive precomputation and memory, while Kangaroo relies on random hops without storing sets of points, they can't be combined directly. Mixing them would mean losing the efficiency of both methods, as each relies on distinct principles that don't translate into a hybrid approach.

When responding to a post, please read and understand.

"Alberto, I know and follow your work. You have great ideas and work."

and

Why are you defending the creator so much? Maybe you have something to hide too.

I saw you saying ideas, sources etc. etc. bla bla like Alberto's lawyer.

Please read and understand. There is no mention of a subject related to you, Alberto is the person who should explain or write about it.

What you do is,

"Alberto has nothing to hide."

How do you know? Are you Alberto? How close are you? Can I get your proof on this?

This is my opinion too. Smiley

First of all congratulations . I agree with you that with math everything is possible. I am curious about puzzle 130 because I was trying to solve it with math , just answer yes/no/too far/close enough. The private key start with 0x3A8 and it was even number at the end ?

I think 03a8 is too far. My guess is in the range 0x32 to 0x36  Grin

The idea has always cost money. No one will reveal anything for nothing. Any craftsman can make a thing.
But not everyone can come up with something new.

OK, so basically the same old shit: "I don't have anything palpable, just some idea that everyone says it doesn't apply, but what do they know? I'll just throw some lateral blah blah instead of some actual statements with proofs, because hyped up emotions are better than logical thinking". Too tired of that non-sense.

Does math cost money? Does logic, theorems, proofs, cost money? All of those were always made free to everyone, for nothing in exchange except dying poor and oh, remaining in history books for all eternity. just look at the last 5000 years of human progress.

You know what costs money? Absolutely everything that you can't do by your own hands. That's almost literally why money exists in this world. Also, I changed my mind. Since you can't code, but I can, I would charge you around 500 million $ if you want your idea put in practice. Also, I can not guarantee your idea would actually work, since it's your idea, not mine. I am just charging for the wasted time on my side, you will also pay for all the equipment and resources and electricity needed to implement whatever you have in mind.

Not the other way around, because I don't care about your idea, but you seem to care about your idea being coded and "automated", if I am not mistaken.

Well). you know, what you can't do with your own hands costs money!.)

You all forget
Sensible math too only under simple math
Here is Q
You have 17 apple and 3 man
Divide them into 3 man as per share
1/9
1/3
1/2
Make sure no floating point in result
Correct Answer will guide you what sensible math could do inside your kangaroo programing
My Q were above, unfortunately no one take notice
Fyi
You need to add 1 into 17 to make 3 share as per asked above, where no floating points appear in result

Same your searched pubkey in kangaroo method is not enough for finding fast, because it's working in sqrt and cuderoot
So you need adjust with add or subtract with some steps for make it proper and quicker finding in big ranges, definitely for adjust pubkey , math will help you

It's very interesting. As the price of BTC increases, the number of crazy suggestions in this topic also rises. There will be more and more pressure, and my ignore list will continue to grow.  Undecided

What?? What kind of idea is that? Seems that you don't have idea how it works, yes you mention it as an example but it sounds like lets take an apple and a pineapple, combine them to get an pear.



Alberto, I know and follow your work. You have great ideas and work.

But for now, I can only say this. Mathematics is a very important point, it applies to everything. After a few results, I will share the situation with a few people here privately. I don't want to present the Vanity Kangaroo system in full right now. But Pear is also important Smiley Shouldn't we find it?

Hmm, there is something else that comes to mind. Why are you defending the creator so much? Maybe you have something to hide too.

Example;
An idea like the combination of VanitySearch and Kangaroo software!
Scan a certain range, then when you catch a clue (hidden by me), perform a jump and continue scanning, when you catch another clue (hidden by me), continue scanning again.

@bibilgin I understand to @kTimesG he looks tired of the same shit over and over and I am also tired of that, Every time them and now some random dude ask for my help to develop their ideas, but those ideas usually has little or not background at all they are just based on biased knowledge or incomplete data usually like (I believe this, i think that this works like this.)

That is called the Dunning-Kruger effect

Quote
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive distortion whereby individuals with little expertise in a field tend to overestimate their skills by mistakenly self-assessing themselves as experts in that field, while, on the other hand, truly competent people tend to belittle or underestimate their skills and their own real competence. Furthermore, incompetent people are often extremely opinionated.

I wonder about something? Why are you so prejudiced?

Have you been alone all your life? Was there no one around you?

You have to respect everyone's ideas and thoughts. You said the cost of your time is 500 million dollars.

But sometimes an idea or thought is worth more than 5 billion dollars.

Example;
An idea like the combination of VanitySearch and Kangaroo software!
Scan a certain range, then when you catch a clue (hidden by me), perform a jump and continue scanning, when you catch another clue (hidden by me), continue scanning again.

One day you may learn to respect the opinion of a 5-year-old child. It is possible.

Good work everyone..

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.


Hi! I am ready to give you a method that will help you greatly reduce the time spent searching for puzzles 135, 140, 145, 150, 155, 160, and put an end to all this. Since I don't have programming skills, I can't automate it. You can write to me in person.

We are all very excited that you finally decided to be ready to share with us these exciting breakthroughs.

It was already more than 24 hours since the last range splitter / range reducer / point divider post was brought upon our limited attention. We need to never let those ideas die off! No matter how often it is explained why it does not work and why it can not work, and why it will never work, and how it actually makes things much slower, instead of much faster, it is a true inspiration to see the same question and the same idiotic idea repeated over and over and over again by new and old users.

Let's not break the cycle! Who cares that solving any problem is more or less just a matter of having enough money to spend, to actually be able to afford computing the solution? Give me a few million $ and I can solve all of those puzzles for you in less than a few months, if not faster - how about that as an actual end to all of this?

Yeah, there are some geniuses here that can crack EC and even 135-160bit is not a problem for them!

There are several methods were proposed already:
1. Magic patterns.
2. Magic divisions.
3. Magic circles (my favourite!)
4. Magic range reducing.
5. Magic BSGS variants.
...and some even more interesting and promising methods!

The only issues usually are:
1. They don't have coding skills.
2. They don't have a good computer (quantum?)
3. They don't have any friends with coding skills or a good computer.
4. They don't have proper settings for JLP app.
But they know 100% working methods how to break EC and always ready to help.
I hope one day someone will help them to take all the money and finally close these puzzles!
But please don't ask me about it, I'm too old for this sh*t magic.

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

First of all congratulations . I agree with you that with math everything is possible. I am curious about puzzle 130 because I was trying to solve it with math , just answer yes/no/too far/close enough. The private key start with 0x3A8 and it was even number at the end ?

I have some interesting findings.
The priv. key shared by @RetiredCoder ( b10f22572c497a836ea187f2e1fc23) which is unlock the puzzle 120.

and this also used by ethereum wallet of the same priv key , that wallet was used 888 days ago it was June 8, 2022.
Maybe puzzle 120 is unlocked before 2022.

Imagine that Sam Bankman-Fried is the creator of the puzzle. They will arrest you tomorrow as soon as you take the prize somewhere.

Haha, imagine if Sam Bankman-Fried really was the mastermind behind the Bitcoin puzzles

Well it is an interesting finding but just remember that you don't need the Private key to generate the address, just the public key. we can send some dust to puzzle 160 in the ETH network or any other alt-chain.

For example public key #160

Code:
compress: 02E0A8B039282FAF6FE0FD769CFBC4B6B4CF8758BA68220EAC420E32B91DDFA673
uncompress: 04e0a8b039282faf6fe0fd769cfbc4b6b4cf8758ba68220eac420e32b91ddfa673c2d9690945dd98f6e0e45d4a1f760c9e85ed5ae5ffeeda74e121ee0d836a7c86

ETH address: 0x23668cEA3E64d65745617dAff67F115eCb28f0Aa

https://etherscan.io/address/0x23668CEA3E64D65745617DAFF67F115ECB28F0AA

Do a I have the 160 private key?
NO!!
