Topic: Question about the secret exponent. Fresh out of can (Read 783 times)

I had 3 computers, the thing that is gone was the farm

this is a classic example of the xy problem. where the individual's question cannot really be answered because they keep moving the goalposts because x was never specified and they ask a bunch of y questions...

you would think he would know that.

Something fishy here. You claim the police rushed into your apartment and smashed all 20 pcs? It's very hard to smash a pc in a way to destroy HDD/SSD completely. And so they smashed 20 PCs but that wallet containing 75BTC was on one of those? So they didn't break one of those PCs? If they smashed all your pcs, how in the world did they grab your coins? Even if they didn't break the computers, how did they transfer all those 3k BTC away?

And you spent 6 years in jail for mining? Perhaps someone from Bulgaria can confirm it? Doesn't seem credible to me... 

Im just learning and trying to not seem like i make you find the x y problem. Guess only vanity can help me, may take hour may be impossible.

That address is invalid. It uses the string "0E9E3B4C" for a checksum, when the checksum should actually be "8EC77C31". When the checksum is replaced with this correct string, then the address encodes as follows: 13zouJCVmMQBmTcd8K4Y5BP36gEFS41q3n. That valid address is empty and unused, however.

Again, I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here. Either crack your brain wallet or don't. Wasting time on non-sensitive and public information such as address or transaction data is going to get you nowhere.

Google text is bad, 13zouJCVmMQBmTcd8K4Y5BP36gEFNn1ZJ3,

I have no idea about the specifics of Bcash, but addresses which start with "2" are generally P2SH addresses on testnet, not mainnet, so any coins locked behind them are testnet coins which are essentially worthless.

The hex you have pasted has parts of it which look like a valid transaction hex, but it is both incomplete and contains invalid characters (such as "@" and "l"), so it cannot be fully decoded. Even so, as I've said before transaction data does not allow you to calculate the private keys.

This is the bch format, what exactly was the flaw in these adresses? If i remember correctly they revealed some parts of the key? The dev.team lazy rushed them

Everything you have copied is simply data from block 100.

The "hash" field is the hash of block 100. The "merkleroot" field and "txid" fields are the TXID of the coinbase transaction from that block. (They are the same since that block only contains a single transaction). The middle section which follows are the details of that single coinbase transaction, which is all publicly viewable by looking up that transaction (https://mempool.space/tx/2d05f0c9c3e1c226e63b5fac240137687544cf631cd616fd34fd188fc9020866) and clicking the "Details" tab. The end section regarding "nonce", "bits", etc., is again data from block 100, which is again all publicly viewable by looking up the block (https://mempool.space/block/000000007bc154e0fa7ea32218a72fe2c1bb9f86cf8c9ebf9a715ed27fdb229a) and clicking on the "Details" tab.

Nothing you have copied provides any clue or insight whatsoever in to the private key needed to spend those coins.

Dude im not trying to fool around, it was mistake revealing the adress because before that noone had problems with me trying to recover it.. I can send the picture i have hwich im sure i miss something and i know im hard to understand but what i can do, we speak different languages by any means.. And this is why i asked about the merkle root

I copy it from the pictures i have, dating from back then and it's possible the zeros the be copied as 8, if anyone wants to sent then the whole pictures tell me, my brain true is not in tact as it was, but given the things that happened i can accept that my brain is fkked up, but after surviving the hell im at least not crazy.

I'd like you to take a look at this webpage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem



agree. this person is leading us down the hallway of the xy problem... it's a trap don't fall for it. trying to help an xy problem can be a wasted effort. until the person starts asking the right question, which is X, not Y.

I agree. OP seems very confused. In his first post he said he needed to recover a brain wallet, but now he is talking about Merkle trees, nonces, and BCash, and claiming he knew about bitcoin 2 years before Satoshi announced it and that he was mining pretty much from day one.

I don't know what he is actually trying to achieve here, but if he does have coins locked behind a brain wallet, and has absolutely no back ups, then as I stated previously his only chance is to either remember the brain wallet phrase or to brute force it. Anything else to do with random deformed addresses or TXIDs which don't actually exist is irrelevant.

Beyond this, I don't think there is anything anybody else can do here to help him.

Go lose 6 years without internet, then come back 2029 you will know the answer

no one is going to follow  because you didn't make anything clear but whatever...you're the one that figured out how bitcoin mining works way back in 2009 but you don't seem to know anything about it now. strange. i would have expected a bitcoin miner to understand how bitcoin addresses work...

Just leave it man, i told u that i have gathered information from old pictures, u just dont follow, whatever,

ok then what are some of the addresses that you actively used?


so all through your bitcoin mining activities and such from 2009 to 2016, you never had an account on this forum?  surely you would have known about this forum if you knew about bitcoin a year before it got released. i know this forum had some type of "reset" where old usernames got deleted or something and had to start clean but still. everyone knew about this forum way back even before 2014. and everyone that followed bitcoin had an account here. but not you?  

who do you know that can vouch for your story?

nope.

see how you just give out incorrect statements? this doesn't help your case.

i have NO IDEA what you mean here.

nope. not true.
https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/search?search=1L1x25zS8Zg93Yo7tJzVrKxCbDBXzRyuxC

it passes checksum. but it has never been used. for receiving or sending. but you didn't explain where this address comes from precisely.

Where i said that the bch is from 2009? Just these adresess dont exist no more

Bcash didn't fork until 2017. It did not exist in 2009-10 as you are talking about.

Either a problem with your phone or with blockchain.com. There is nothing wrong with the address itself.

Again, you sound confused. In bitcoin, a Merkle tree is used to combine all the transactions in a block. It has nothing to do with individual private keys, and knowing a Merkle root does not give you any information about those private keys.

Idk about satoshi no one rlly know, and I know there is no such txid bcs this is txid from bch adress format. Maybe its my phone but when i do check this adress in blockchain.info, shows the prefix 1×.
Btw in the files i have which one exactly could lead me to the secret exponent, because the merkle root, the txid and the hash txid are the same,

Satoshi first went public with bitcoin in October 2008 with an email to the cryptography mailing list, which was only a few months before the genesis block. And you could not buy bitcoin anywhere for several years after that.

There is no transaction in the blockchain with that TXID.

Deformed in what way? That is a perfectly valid address.
