Why doesn't the script stay open? also if you do find the K would it be negative to Bitcoin?
if you find k you can access any btc address and transfer the funds to any address you want!

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.

If someone manages to find an efficient way to pick the right "k" would become rich in any way.
I wish we could make such discovery public for scientific purpose. The 500,000 US$ would be just a small "tip" compared to what would be coming afterwards
I know it is not much compared what the discoverer could actually make from it, but i hope it motives some people to at least think about it.
And just as a hint: It is definitely worth making such discovery public ... you do not need to utilize this knowledge to use the powers of the dark side of the Force. If we publish this in a paper you will be flooded with job requests anyway, offering you salaries that you would never be able to spend in your entire life. Even if you tried hard
What if I got three autistic dudes together, locked up in a room and feeding them nothing but Ramen Noodles, promising them licorice if they solve K? Would I get all the reward moneys, or do I have to split with the three dudes who actually solved it, unbeknown to them that a reward was in place?

Stop thinking about solving the problem, and start becoming the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWDo3aGz3is
Remember, k is a constant. It isn't going to change, hence you're not chasing a moving object.

If someone finds k then they have the key to unlock any wallet they want. Forget the bounty...
[BOUNTY] 100,000 BTC for fully functional time travel machine.
Waiting for people like BurtW to ask for proof of funds before they start working on the project...
He already did. Read the topic.Waiting for people like BurtW to ask for proof of funds before they start working on the project...
I have been telling that people all day. How hard can it be?

I think we shloud not take that bounty too serious.
Because a price seems to be just a legend.

Well I really hope this is impossible to crack before the sun explodes.
But lets say someone got that 100k lottery wins in a row luck and did brute force it. Surely that doesn't really matter, because it is technically possible and given enough time (lol might be all the time ever but possible) to brute force it but its not practical. Aren't you looking for some sort of flaw that's repeatable to increase the likely hood of finding it? So unless this is for a wallet with a ton of BTC in & someone becomes the luckiest person in the world and brute forces it. Surely people just brute forcing it is a total waste of time & doesn't actually yield any information?

how about this address?
Do you own it?

If yes just unlock your wallet!

No way you can just guess it.
There are two ways you can get it, reverse engineer it(which you can't) and brute force it, which you can't because it would take too much time. If you had something like this you could sell it for more then 1000 BTC, that is for sure.

Op does not have 1000 BTC
I want my 7 mins back
I want my 7 mins back
I have it in fiat.
And if you want a collateral (or better say a bonus) I will give you my car on top.
You can see it here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--341956
I have paid close to 100,000 US$ for it. So give me the right k and it is yours plus the 1,000 BTC.
If you still do not believe, then just stay away.
Dude I trust you but if I find the right k how do I know you will get back your BTC from me (in fact this is my least concern) the real concern is that you can take BTC from anybody
Wouldn't it be better to just send it over with PM and then close the thread?
P.S. I will try to guess it without any script just pure luck!
The private key is simply a 256 bit random number
The public key is calculated from the private key by the formula Keypublic = Keyprivate * G and is actually a point on an eliptical curve represented by a pair of two 256 bit numbers (the X and Y coordinates of the point). However there are only 2256 points on the curve so the same number of private keys as public keys = 2256 possible key pairs.
The Bitcoin address is a special triple hashing of the public key and it is 160 bits so there are only 2160 possible Bitcoin addresses
On average there are 296 possible valid key pairs for each Bitcoin address.

Maybe these guys are the NSA? 1000 BTC is a lot even to a big company.
1000 btc is really nothing if you find the k. Think you own all bitcoins in existence.

My script is running. I may never find the right code but it's like playing the lottery all you need is a $1 and a dream lol
Your chances is same with winning the lottery 1000 times in a row.
