Topic: RushWallet 2 Bitcoin Puzzle - page 12. (Read 33008 times)

My bad, I've done something wrong on http://www.wolframalpha.com/ and it reported it as a prime.

2784623964023 is not a prime number. It has two factors 11 and 253147633093.

It's interesting to notice that 2784623964023 is a prime number, which very likely is not a coincidence, it's moderately large prime. However, as someone said it's probably to small (0x1098FFBC) to be a direct private key in the ECDSA sense of the word, or "secret exponent" as Brainwallet.org calls it. Such "small" numbers are almost certainly in hash tables of people who brute force private keys and would be collected until now. It may be a part of the custom ECDSA implementation as order of ECDSA curve or something, but writing such a custom implementation would require bigger award then 1 BTC so this may be a blind alley.

I downloaded this video a few days ago, I think they have updated it. Thanks for telling!

I don't follow what you say about reversal.

You gave idea to try playing with the numbers again.  Repeat the number 6 times to get a big number:
578462396402357846239640235784623964023578462396402357846239640235784623964023
But it does not work since it is too big
>>> 2**256
115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007913129639936

Without repeating the numbers 6 times, all the numbers come out very small, and I don't think the private key will be a small number.

But above is too simple.  It does not use enough of the other clues, like the whitepaper and the long code that started with 9...

Ok. Do you know what Clue #13 was?

Did you guys see that at ~1:39 in the video, "brainwallet" is a link/annotation that says "Clue #13". I can't click it. Was it there before?

Its over nobody open 1btc,maybe kryptokit giveaway for anyone trying open or join this event

All integers greater than one can be written as a product of primes. Look up the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.

Nope. I saw like that when I looked. But I looked so many times after that and I found it is 5 but as it is very small, we will see it as 2. Check again and again!

So is this over? Just got a headache and no Bitcoins.... Anyone received any more clues?

That's how I feel. Maybe security issues pop up and they promise to fix them by XXX like the contest clues and then nothing. You don't do a contest if you don't do it properly. This would've beeb good marketing if they kept the communication going.

I tweeted them. No reply. So I'm not using rushwallet. Never had anything to do with the prize either. Contests are great to show how your company operates.

Just too much going on here. It couldn't possibly be so involved IMO.

I think something went wrong when they set their passphrase. The simpleness of some of the other clues, you'd think this one also would the rather straight forward.

Yep. It started off so well. And has fizzled over the last week or two.

Pity

yup. the contest was supposed to be a marketing  campaign for their product, but if the campaign is mismanaged, one can infer their product might be as well.

57846239640235784623964023 Can be factorised as primes which is what is done with the sepc256k1 curve where F = 2^256-2^32 etc (can't remember exactly)
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=57846239640235784623964023

Because there is a reverse R I thought these coin numbers were used to find a point on the curve since doubling a point (ie x2) requires a reflection of R ie 2P = Я because it's the only time R is used in math and its reversed.
Basically I think this is how you find the private key for the ฿1

Other things to think about:
Famous Russian princess? Anastasia
"I like da Bitcoin" I like yes Bitcoin?
A lot of this video is similar to the original Bitcoin video from weusecoins.com (the OLD and new video)

I've kinda given up, because why run a contest if you don't keep up with it.

Anybody have an idea? I think the number on the coin is 5784623964023x2 or 5784623864023x2 or 5784623064023x2. These numbers are on each first coin of all 6 sets. I tried to multiply etc... but couldn't decipher it. If anybody could, send me a portion(No amount is too small!).

What I mean is that we don't know which prize number on the following list goes with a correctly guessed string: https://rushwallet.com/contest

If there was no further clue given that was associated with a particular prize number, then it's somewhat arbitrary, I guess, and, if you guess one of them correctly that had an additional clue, then you'll probably know which clue went with it.

However, we just can't fill out the following completely unless we know for sure that that was the answer to #28, or #26:

1. (UNCLAIMED)
