Dude: "Your k is 54...34''
You: "Here is your 500 BTC, how did you do it?"
Dude: "Random guess!"
You: "OK, here is another 500 BTC"
Really?
I am still waiting for you to prove you have the BTC before I solve this for you.

Before I work on this project I need to see the 1,000 BTC in an address that is controlled by you.
Simply sign a message with the private key of an address containing at least 1,000 BTC to prove you have it.
As soon as you do that I will get right on it.

oooh yes that would be a big bit motivation
I still dont understnd why it is worth so much money ...
just image to be so lucky and just quess correct k
half of that price is enought, I dont have to say how I did it

Interesting 
We should add project to WorldCommunityGrid (BOINC)
It's 42

tell me. Would effects of finding right 'k' will be good or bad for Bitcoin?
Because I am not pretty sure.

Puzzle solved.

I have just decided to increase the Bounty to 1,000 BTC.
I hope some clever brains will have fun elaborating this!!

What exactly is this for? Why are you paying so much??

So you are basically asking for someone to tell you the k so you would be able to guess random numbers in encryption? Am I right?
Good luck to anybody trying to solve this.
Evil Could you do a escrow?

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I wanted to see even if someone brute-forces it, would you pay out. Although, that is insanely unlikely.
But two points.
1. If it is/was possible, the NSA or another US agency would already have this in their possession.
2. This would be worth a lot more than $500K, if anyone actually figures out a more efficient algorithm or a hack or attack, everything from ASIC firms to intelligence agencies would be throwing money to buy it. I wonder if it could even be patented.
We'll have quantum computers before this happens though lol.

brute-force for finding a private key? Where is this $500k bounty in bitcoins located? Is it in a wallet or?
Wow, I had to count those zeroes twice
