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.🥳🥳🥳🤑🤑🤑

So cool to see that there is still success in the Bitcoin puzzle. Would be interesting to know how much time and effort was put into solving, and compare it to the reward. Maybe the solver will explain it some day

Wonderful performance congratulations
It will have taken more than 2 years to find it.
I'm curious to know the privateKey and whether it's bruteforcing (kangaroo solver/bsgs/bitcrack etc...) or some other way to find it?
Congratulations

Hi there to all

Congratulations to the person who solve the Puzzle #120 Cheesy

I wonder which is the private key.

If you are using a batch file, it's easy to stop and see what the error is.

Add a pause on the second line of your batch file, like this:

Kangaroo.exe -t 0 -d 12 -gpu -g 20,256... etc.
pause

I don't know how to set a proper command in the batch file, what do use yourself, could you give me the whole correct command? I will change my specifics to meet my system config, thank you. Also isn't this kangaroo used to find addresses with known public keys? If that's the case and there are no more public keys left in the puzzle challenge, I don't want to use it, not interested in cracking keys which are not mine.

A Beginner's Guide to the Windows Command Prompt. IMO current documentation is targeted towards geek, power user and developer.

Wow thank you my man, now which version of ubuntu should I install, good thing I frequent cracking projects😀, do I need ubuntu to run kangaroo? Because running in windows, setting all the arguments, the bat file opens and closes very fast, it seems like nothing works, maybe I should run it using cmd? isn't bat file doing the same thing though? When I dowmload kangaroo, I should place it in a folder and create a bat file or just run cmd and insert the option inftont of the kangaroo.exe? And which commands should I use, I currently have Geforce nvidia 920MX intel inegrated gpu.

Should I install 18 or 20 or 22 version from windows store?

It's likely @Tesorex refer to @Jean_Luc (OP of this thread).

However, this does not make sense to me. Because the thread creator JLP explicitly refers to his Github repository where you'll find a documentation and explanation of how to use the tool.

Concur; JLP did an above and beyond explanation of how to run the program and about the theory behind Pollard's Kangaroo method.

Why do you publish open source programs doing all the hard work but never publish any step by step tutorials on how to run it?

who are you referring to? that is not entirely clear from your question, at least not to me.

I am not able to find the PrivateKey Undecided

it just says done, is it a bug or am i doing something wrong?

this is the range
---snip---
...

What is the command-line which you execute ?

Your key is on the edge of provided range. This is the hardest option. It will still be found, but it will take more time and more luck.

Code:

[96.67 MK/s][GPU 0.00 MK/s][Count 2^33.51][Dead 2][02:26 (Avg 01:35)][47.6/81.5MB]
Key# 0 [1S]Pub:  0x029E162328C08BF1B3C9BA030ACBDBE111D1191D07A157AB285A403A739E5F0139
       Priv: 0xE9C742148F3F0C84463F29FE66E2CA

Or alternatively, you can shift the range to the left or right by half of the interval, provided that you know that the key is going to be closer to one of those intervals. You don't need to expend more time waiting in such cases.

So what does dead kangaroos mean?

Quote from: Jean_Luc on May 01, 2020, 10:45:30 AM

Yes From time to time it fails and go out the range. The number of dead kangaroo (collision in same herd) increase.
