Well if your setup uses a lot of electricity or if it's overheating, then it's best to stop searching.

Bsgs is now holding 18 exa keys/s stable.

Running a program to searches 18 exa keys/s is impressive!

I have 16 GB and Core i7, and get only 70 Peta key/s  

Just uped my ram to 512 gig

51 Exa keys/s

My rig will hold up to 2 terrabtes of ram. Just $$$

18 ExKeys/s this is a drop in the ocean, the range is huge, brute force is currently not the best choice for solving the puzzle. Even if random is not a very good idea, you need to look for another approach

P.s.


Still a chance, and this is what this puzzle is about.

Are you suggesting I stop searching?

Btw I will also be donating to Alberto if I find any.

I figured it out. But not sure what was going on. I reinstalled ubuntu from usb, started fresh. Bsgs is now holding 18 exa keys/s stable. All 80 cpu threads loaded around 50-60 percent. Appears my ram can now not keep up. But the speed drop out is gone.

Uhmm, I think that 40 is the limit  Cry



If you see the processor specifications on https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/120489/intel-xeon-gold-6148-processor-27-5m-cache-2-40-ghz.html

It is 20 cores so it it's only 40 threads max.

I am not hardware expert so if you believe that your processor can be overclocked or something like that I think that you should search about it on a Hardware forum or something like that.

2 cpus at 40 threads, 80 total. CPU info shows 80 possible. Ubuntu shows 80 threads. But you may be correct. Strange as bios reports 40 however its not clear if its reporting for 1 cpu or 2.

Again thank you for all the hard work!

Maybe it is something related to the Operating system thread administration. Can you try some 78 or 79 threads instead?

Maybe the CPU gets heater and it reduce the frequency. Check first running it with less than 80 thread try some 70, 75... Just to discard some cases.

Ubuntu 23.04

I have tried 78, 50, 55 all the same results. Anything over 40 decreases the speed by half with twice the threads. Maybe a Kernel issue?

BSGS Dual CPU support? Running 2x intel gold 6148 40 threads each 256gig ram.

At 40 threads I get 15 Exa keys/s

At 80 threads I get 6-12 Exa keys/s

All threads are fully loaded when 80 is requested. Bottle neck somewhere?

I am still fine with 40, but 80 would be nice.

Thank you for all the great work Alberto!

creator of the puzzle moved at 11th July 2017 all funds[/url] from the initially created puzzles 161-256 to the puzzles 1-160. Before transferring those amounts he informed and posted here on bitcointalk forum.


That is correct, that he moved the funds from 161-256 to 1-160, but I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you are still wrong.

The guy meant that he is solving a key from 256 bits, meaning its the old dead key..

Rmd-160 hash security is 80 bits AFAIK.

Firstly, yes, there is some truth to the idea that address collisions can happen, but it's not quite as straightforward as it may seem. Let's through the lens of the Birthday Paradox.

According to Birthday paradox is possible to find a collision aproximatly near the first squared_root of (2^160),  Now, that might sound like a lot, and it is! But here's the twist – this collision could involve any address with or without any cryptocurrency balance. To really make this work, you'd need a substantial log or database of the previous 2^80 addresses.

Now, you might be wondering about the likelihood of this collision involving some famous wallet addresses like '1Feex...' or '11111...'. Well, it's incredibly unlikely.

Rmd-160 hash security is 80 bits AFAIK. IDK though, I might be wrong.  Isn't keyhunt the same as any other brute force application when it comes to addresses/rmd160 hashes?  I just can't understand the speed rates posted on this thread, peta keys/s , exa keys /s? I mean with exa keys/s per 1 PC, one could use 500 PCs with some extra EC math tricks to grind several puzzles in a month.  Either nobody is able to properly use these tricks, or those capable are not aware of such tricks.

puzzles are within 1-160bit. There is no puzzle to look for in 160-256bit range so you can reduce your search to 160bit range.


Wrong.

Puzzles are within 1-256bits, don't forget that he is mentioning the word Lottery, so he should be probably trying to randomly bruteforce some old shit dead 256bit key, probably a key from Satoshis keys with BSGS, and it should obviously be in the 256 bits range, thats why he called it as "puzzle256".

Ofc the chances are unbelieveably low, but it still counts as a Lottery as he said.

Alberto, What are your thougts?

@GR Sasa: you should go ahead and read the nature of Bitcoin addresses. Bitcoin addresses have the security of 2^160 and that is due to the RIPE-MD 160 hash algorithm being involved. Therefore the creator of the puzzle moved at 11th July 2017 all funds from the initially created puzzles 161-256 to the puzzles 1-160. Before transferring those amounts he informed and posted here on bitcointalk forum.

There are no puzzles 161-256 to solve. Your reward is 0.00

Hello Alberto thanks for the reply.
>>what are you looking in the 256 bit range?

Puzzle 256. I will try -r 256. I use the PC as a heater in my office as a lottery function when it is cold.  Grin

using -r 256 indeed the range is much more random, 0x10 seen. so my observation would only seem to be with the default range.

Thanks for the reply

Just been watching the threads go by in random mode.
I notice that the first byte never seems to go below 0x7f. usually OxB -0xF range. is it just me? or perhaps the way the display is set.

Hi thank to point this, it is not exactly an issue, Keyhunt just needs a little guidance from you if you want to target a specific range. Let me explain how you can do this effectively.

Keyhunt by default, it searches exclusively on bit 256, to avoid this limitation, you can specify the range you're interested in using the '-r' option.

Code:
-r 1:fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141

In the code above, '-r' allows you to set a range, and the numbers following it define the range. By specifying the range you want to target, you can make Keyhunt work exactly as you need it to.

Just a personal question, what are you looking in the 256 bit range? Usually keyhunters only target the lastest avaiable puzzle in this case puzzle 130 with -b 130 you can specify the exact range of that puzzle.

Publickey:

Code:
03633CBE3EC02B9401C5EFFA144C5B4D22F87940259634858FC7E59B1C09937852

Code:
./keyhunt -m bsgs -f file.txt  -R -k 128 -S -t 8 -M -b 130

If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.

Happy hunting!

my command :
./keyhunt -m bsgs -f file.txt  -R -k 128 -S -t 30

some samples,
I realize it is random but I have been watching for 1/2 hour or so and this is typical.
