What happens if the number of dead kangaroos exceed the total kangaroo count?
And why do I see average as a few minutes sometimes and as million years other times? Is it a good sign if the average time is low?
Usually means you are in a very small range.

Would need to see your commands/flags you are passing to the program as well as input to understand more.

waouuhhh yes exactly I just saw that indeed OP raised the bonus of all #Puzzles by X10 it makes you want even more especially for the lowest ones it becomes very very interesting  Shocked Shocked Grin

Sure. Understood. That's why I warned about this user, this is a new user registration and he's posting always URL and writing non-sens stuff to attract users clicking on his phishing links.

Hello there, where is the private key for #120?

it is
Code:
02CEB6CBBCDBDF5EF7150682150F4CE2C6F4807B349827DCDBDD1F2EFA885A2630

and the coins were pulled on 2023/02/27
Cool story, but I asked about the Private key not public key,  he claimed to know stuff, So I tested him. 😉

Hi Puzzle hunter,

The puzzle 120 was found using this method:
https://github.com/demining/CryptoDeepTools/tree/main/06KangarooJeanLucPons


No, it wasn't. It was found using Kangaroo from JeanLucPons and the original software and source is
https://github.com/JeanLucPons/Kangaroo

Warning at this point: if you don't trust this user and the repository he links to, don't run any code from him if you don't know what the code does. If in doubt, use the original software from JLP and not any forks that you are not sure contain malicious code.

Hi Puzzle hunter,

The puzzle 120 was found using this method:
https://github.com/demining/CryptoDeepTools/tree/main/06KangarooJeanLucPons

#120, 119bits private key [2119,2120-1], 17s2b9ksz5y7abUm92cHwG8jEPCzK3dLnT 1.20BTC

800000000000000000000000000000
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Expected time: ~2 months on 256 Tesla V100.

256 GPU card x 60 days x 24h x 300watts = 110 592 kwh x 0.03$ = 3317$ electricity bills but 256k$ of gpu card ;-)

#125 will be this year too i think  Cool

Hello Kangsolvers, have you ever thought about using chat GPT to try to reduce search space based on patterns, using Fermat or regression methods for sequences? Does anyone know if there is any intuitive material about the code? I couldn't find any cool videos on YouTube, only one where the guy runs it on a cloud using processing power from multiple GPUs. I would like to produce some content in this direction and bring more Kangsolvers to the team, and maybe focus more on demystifying how difficult it is to find a key. Sometimes I show sites like privatekeys.pw to a friend, and they actually believe they can just click from page to page and become millionaires by chance. Grin

Anyway, jokes aside, I've been thinking about a possible withdrawal scenario. Let's say I find a key, hooray! Now what? What are the concerns about sending it to Binance, swapping it for dollars, and cashing out? This is obviously different in the case of puzzles.

I'm exploring some ideas and running with limited hardware here, more for studying purposes. But who knows, right? I mean, we do know, it's like a grain of sand on Jupiter lol.

Anyway, I plan to share my results and ideas here, hopefully it will be useful for newcomers, from one noob to another, lost in the secp256.

Hi guys, any news about who solve p64 and p120 ?

I just want to know the hardware that they use, this only to make calculations about how much will cost solve the p66 and p125.


"I just want to know the hardware that they use,"

Answer: you wil never know ... Sorry

"how much will cost solve the p66 and p125"

Answer: Cost is much MUCH more than the prize of 0.66 or 1.25 BTC .... Sorry

pretty much means free money if you can crack one. Its really just there to test/prove how secure bitcoin is

Forgive me to be the intruder guys, can someone explain briefly what's this puzzle solving thing about and what does it mean for the network for a completely unaware but curious bitcoin user? :')

Someone made a bunch of transactions using successively larger keys to see if people would be able to crack them. Each transaction has a private key of successively higher bitlength (increases by one). The range of the keyspaces was also made known to see how quickly people would brute force and find the key.

Guys please give the man/ woman some time, they need to cash out every single bitcoin fork/ altcoin before revealing the private key. I'd like to add that there is no known method other than log problem to solve in order to find the key in high bit ranges. Way to go who ever you are.🥳🥳🥳🤑🤑🤑
