My RTX-3070's are doing over 2,000M/sec for cracking btc private keys and matching known valuable addresses using bloom filters. Same algo's on Gtx-1060 is about 200MB/sec

On a rack of 4 RTx-3070's, I'm seeing 10,000M/sec, using 32gb bloom filter with from 300M addresses (H160), my false positive is 10^-30

I only use linux

The main thing is to put the bloom-filter inside of bitcrack, so your not just looking for one public-key, and/or address, but your testing all 300M in parallel on every cycle ( here 10,000M/sec ), so the probablity of a hit in the secp256k1 space 2^256, or 10^76 is reasonable

Keep the bloom filter on its own M.2 drive on MOBO, have 4tb sata for hex-files, and private key database ( you need to be able to map your found hex160 )

I have two racks one using gtx-1060's the other Rtx-3070's, which I picked up last summer for $500/each, now they're +$1,000 if you can find them. CPU needs 64GB, I'm running amd threadripper with 32 core, this is not a game for windows.

Real problem here is setting up the bloom-filter, orginal model in brainflayer was 512MB, which only allows about 15M addresses, before false-positive goes astro. Solution is to cascade 4gb junks in series, as most shared memory models only allow 4gb chunks, 3 years ago using open-gl I had the bloom filters on the GPU ( gtx-1070 ), but you can only have 2gb chunks, and its actually faster to do blocks of 2048 private-keys, and then have each gpu core pass them back to threads all running cpu cores on the shared bloom-filter. With 300M valid btc  addresses, you really need a 32gb bloom filter. None of this stuff is online, you must roll your own.

---

You can't search for a h160 address in a 300gb file, you must map the file to binary. Then the file will be 10gb, and it just takes a second to yes/no whether that h160 is in the list of 300M addresses.

Early brainflay github had a tool called 'binchk' using xed ( linux ) you convert the 300gb file to uniq-hex, and get the .bin file, use binchk

Brainflayer needed to use this because the 512mb bloom-filter they use, only allowed about 10M addresses before false-positive went astro, with the binchk you can take the false positives and very if any of them are real postive.

The bloom-filter is super fast, can work on GPU, but the false-positive is high.

No point in using binary search on text, just use the model described.

Today when I scrape the blockchain, I get about 300M addresses, but after you do the "sort -u", it will be slightly less, but you also need to run a client on the memory pool, to constantly add the new addresses to the bloom-filter.

If you comparing lists with 300M lines of hex, and/or search its much better to use bloom-filters and binary search combined, drops the 2+ hour search to seconds.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Is it true that people can get private keys from public keys?

That people can randomly generate privates keys and match the generated addresses to valuable addresses? Is any of this true?

That's why say virgin blocks mined in China, have more value than btc that's been tumbled online, virgin addresses never used private-keys are more valuable.

BTC != BTC

Some animals are more equal than others.

Almost all of BTC is a myth, big lies, private, cheap, fast,safe, un-hackable ... blah-blah all lies

The problem here is the exchanges, so all 'mixed' coins are now tainted and un-usable; The solution here is to use lots of different exchanges worldwide, and find one that will except your tainted btc's, but I'm assuming most likely that if your btc comes from exchange 'russia', that coinbase will also call that tainted.

People like to deny problems, but the problem is the exchanges, and they're all being policed.

Who gets to buy the virgin blocks mined in China? The mafia that's who, then the little people get stuck with the tainted change

The founders of this scam love this cuz the more of BTC that goes out of circulation the more the price rises.

Another problem is depositing, I noticed the other day that transferwise will not send your money to bitstamp, I mean hell, its your money. So not only do the exchanges not accept your btc, but 'banks' will not let you buy clean btc from exchanges, so what's a mother to do?

Then you end up on 'localbitcoins', send cash by transfer and/or cash to 'someone', and you don't have clue whether the btc you just bought is clean or dirty.

It's just like fiat, said that 99% of all USD bills have cocaine traces, most money is dirty, most btc in time will be dirty. Lot's of people use coinjoin ( modern replacement for banned mixing ), to combine change, but if the exchanges flag an address that's every been mixed then your btc is rejected, so then you go back to localbitcoins, and find a guy who pay's you 50% on the BTC, the new may or not be clean.

So there becomes three levels of BTC

1.) virgin mined, never touch, 60% owned by chinese billionaires and sold to their mob friends
2.) common btc, that's never been mixed
3.) dirty btc, that is refused by KYC exchanges

So 1 gets you 200% , 2 get you declared price, and 3 gets you 50% haircut if your lucky, hell even FIAT (USD) is better than this

Note that you get all this info, you pick what you want, 'bitcoin address' is there, then use awk/sed to strip which line/data u want, write a batch file to convert all your private keys to addresses, if you want fast, then study 'ku' source, and write your own python script

Most people use the h160 format as it requires the least storage, and is easy to map to any address format.

If you have say 100M private keys, then you want to use h160, and you'll need 4TB disk-storage on your desktop.

Study the output of KU, learn what all this stuff is, the source can show you which call's in python do the transformation of format

USA is not even in the game.

Hong-Kong & Thailand ( 2019 ) have already signed off CBDC, cross border digital currency; China has already released theirs. China has already essentially removed 'cash' from day to day transactions one by the public.  Even Africa some 10+ years ago, most transactions were done using mobile-phone 'credit'. Everybody from Asia-2-Africa now has a smart-phone, as they cost about $3.

USA is a one trick pony, and they're tied to the FIAT aka US-Dollar, and will go down defending it.

Will the USA ban, or criminalize BTC to USA citizens living in the former penal colony called USA?? Hell yes, or make it so hard to use that its painful? Yes, but so what look at USA today SF has feces in the streets, Portland is a sewer as well, none of these problems exist in ASIA, even India now looks cleaner than most USA citys.

So all of Asia will start doing all trade in CBDC's, and fairly soon the USD will not even be in the equation. Russia, China, & Iran are pushing the hardest to de-dollarize the world.

BTC if it survives can&will be a store of value, but with 21M btc clones all saying their the one, this show is not unlike the matrix.

All the USA has to do is tell the banks to quit funding the exchanges, and overnight the exchanges have no fiat. But the USA solution is to always have a crisis, and then a solution, so most likely say China pulls the plug on the BTC-miners ( +60% ) of world 'mining', BTC transactions come to a halt, and fee's go to $100 to transfer $1. Even in the USA they could pull the plug on mining, utilities know who the users are, all meters are now tracked from home office. They could just set a tariff schedule say 100X for miners cost of electricity, to fund green. Lot's of things could bring BTC to its knees.

In all of Asia, most of the people are in sync, if the GOV says "Do this", everybody does that for the good of the collective; If the Asian Gov's say use CBDC's, the people will use them, just like they now do in China, where alipay has been essentially transferred from Jack Ma to the CCP. This is the model for 90% of the earth, what difference does it make for the USA? Deagle Report says that by 2025 the USA population to be reduced by +80%, most of the people in the USA playing BTC will not even be in the USA by 2025, unless they flee prior.

Crypto BITCOIN is 100% owned by the GOV, so they ask does GOV own Crypto? Perhaps they should ask who owns the GOV?

Let's see NSA created sha256 and secp256k1 which is 90% of bitcoin, the blockchain ( linked-list ) had been around 50+ years.

Coinbase is the arm of the IRS

You can't open an exchange without KYC GOV approval, the exchange is ingress/egress of all crypto, the only way to have privacy is to solo-mine, and HODL with no intention of ever selling or perhaps going back to the old-school of selling btc at the public parks for cash.

Everything about BTC is GOV

All the story's about BTC I should say promises have turned out to be lies, cheap, fast, anonymous

The only thing certain about btc is that it has becomes a fools lotto where the same people who would normally bet pocket money are now trading cryptos online, where the fee's and transaction costs eat up any profit, even if you correctly predict a 50% gain, the house takes a 50% cut when you add in fiat conversion, and fee's on all sides of the transactions, the only people making real money are those who own the exchanges, which goes back to #1 coinbase, a front for the IRS.

LOTTO is a tax on stupid people, cryptos are a tax on fools. Sure if you were an early miner, and held you made some easy money, but how many well sell before the ponzi flushes out? I suspect that most will lose,

Most likely like today loss blamed on GOV fraud investigation, one day all the exchanges will say "Sorry, all your profits have evaporated", what difference would it make to HODL, what's the real price at a public park for cash? Once all the infrastructure is pulled because its no longer profitable, what will price-discovery be? Just fools trying to hookup with greater fools.

We even know why the IMF released the original white paper in 1997, way before Satoshi's paper, the IMF was clear about diverting excess money away from Gold, and 2021 shows they have succeeded.

The only wild-card about bitcoin, is that the Chinese came to be the owners of 'mining' and ergo given that they control 67%, which is way over 51% consensus then China ended up controlling bitcoin, even though the US gov created it, IMHO I think this was the plan, sort of a trojan horse, China adopts NSA-CIA funny money, USA holds the back-door keys.

So now we move towards a one world-gov post COVID, and everything that Rockefeller hoped  for in the early 1990's has came true.

GOV controls Crypto? Does anybody really think that the geek game-boyz in mom's basement controls crypto?

A bear market is a sustained 20% decline. Fact.

Lot's of big players got involved in the last few months BTC went parabolic, bound to be that same big players would take their profits, as this is what big players do. Only fools HODL

Personally I agree that if you mine, then HODL, keep it forever; but if your paying real cash for btc, then by all means take your profit while you can.

I have never sold crypto, for the simple fact that I don't want the 'record', and the same goes for buying. But there are clearly tons of people trading crypto on trading-exchanges, and of course we are well aware that some +80% lose their money 100% in a few months, on average, so for those people sure by all means HODL

Long term for BTC is clearly zero in terms of value, as certainly in the coming years btc will be 100% hacked; The 'ownership' never really goes away, just trades hands; losers & winners, and people who staked with real cash will be losers, those that switch from mining to 'searching for lost coin' will be the new HODL'ers until somebody else 'finds' their coin; Certainly only a child would continue this game, or repeat in the case definition of insanity.

When the majority get burned, and find their btc gone, e.g. zero on their account, eventually the word will get out, that yes you might know some 'magic numbers', but it can never be converted into FIAT, or gold for that matter. So what would be the point of continuing to play with magic numbers?

Somebody will come out with a alt ( feces-coin ) that is a bit-coin killer, I would suspect 2^1024 bit strength EC, and sha1024 hashing, whether they can map the old-school btc to the new super-secure btc is anyones guess, I think that btc-core will die of its current death, one of the clones will continue to improve; Eventually the coin that doesn't get hacked is the real winner.

Probably the only real advice today is "take your profit", and if you believe in crypto, then diversify, nobody knows which will be top in the future, and it certainly will not be  btc, it was first, but like Lotus-123 first, doesn't mean anything 10+ years in the future.

BTC has lots of problems, speed, transaction rate, fee-rates, easy to hack; Some clever group will get it together, and market it correctly, and create btc 2.0 who that be is anybodys guess, but wealth makes people soft, my personal bias is that neither BTC or ETH will be at the in 5+ years.

The founding fathers of Core&Ether are simply going to get fat&lazy, some young hungry people will address the short-comings of btc, and one morning the elders will wake up and btc will be worth nothing, which is another reason clever people take their profits while they can.

Sheesh it was only three years ago that BTC dropped from $20k to $6k in a few days, I remember well this site was in denial the first 1/2, to $10k, then to $5k

Now today we see an 8% decline and people are panicking

This is all normal, I'm rather sure we'll see a reversion to $20k in the coming days, and why not? You all know that Musk bought billions, ... you really think all those billionaires are going to see their paper profits evaporate, the little guys the HODL'rs are the bag holders.

The Musk people bought BTC on the rise, the profits cover their losses just like DeLorean bought cocaine years ago to cover his car biz. All these corporations now must sell before their paper-btc profit becomes a loss.

Hodl on, because we would all hate to see Musk go bankrupt.

Then we all know that the price will find bottom and climb again.

Look lots of alt's are down -25% today, so BTC looks really good.

USA stimmy checks are rather not coming anymore, so where is all this new money going to come from??

I find this arg funny, lots of people are saying that FXhedge has an excellent track record, and for that matter all GOV has to deny the leak. The announcement is a great cover for insiders. Having gone public, it covers gov insiders so they can sell prior to the 'confirmed'. As to the story, there is always at any given time GOV investigations into BTC, so this tweet was true yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

The fall just shows how perishable that BTC really is, its really a house of cards, that can be blown down by the slightest worry by the chattering classes.

BTC has gone parabolic in the last six months, so profits had to be taken, nothing that goes parabolic ever stays in the clouds very long. Nothing.

Other than stimmy checks there is no reason for DOGE to be up 300%, the entire crypto space has gone insane, not just BTC.

But this is all just like 3 years ago, the first response to a BTC collapse is always denial

Model T, Model A are long gone, now you have Tesla.

BTC is the Model A of crypto.

In the next few years secp256k1 will be cracked, and BTC either move from sha256 to sha1024, or it becomes a training wheel tool for kindergarten crypto

In the next few years, many crypto's will step forward to replace BTC, with larger ECDLP fields, quantum-computers are way off, but 2^256 will be cracked soon with off the shelf hw.

IMHO forever given sha256 and secp256k1 are both NSA, they just wanted to know how long before they're were cracked, of course NSA could crack this stuff all along.

Most corporations and NSA look out 15+ years past what the public see's, always been this way. I remember when the FFT was top secret in big-oil, and was in use in 1950's, but not published until 1960's.

BTC is training wheels for people to learn crypto, when the CIA-NSA is ready to deploy USA-Crypto, you can be sure it will be rock hard, unless they want to back door you.

Quantum Computing is still largely BS, sure kangaroo also seems to be the best to date, its still essentially too slow, a better approach is endomorphisms and there are 1,000's for the secp256k1 field

China owns +95% of all crypto's on earth, so they don't care which one wins, they own them all, this is called a fully covered bet, they cannot lose.

bitcoin will fall below ripple in cap in 2019, the writing is on the wall, just like lotus-123, being first doesn't make you a winner forever, just once at the beginning

Long term store of value,

Yesterday $20k (fiat), tomorrow $100 USD (Fiat), so I lose say 99% of my wealth by holding BTC for 1-2 years, and with a straight face you call that a 'long term store of value' Seriously are you bat shit crazy? Or do you think its "coming back"? NOT

BTC can never 'beat' the dollar unless they beat the system that backs the US Dollar "Murder, Inc".

US Dollar is back by Death

If BTC wants to be adopted and seriously used, then drugs, oil, slaves, all black market stuff must be traded in BTC, just like the CIA enforces US Dollar hegemony.

If your not willing to "DIE for Bitcoin", then you are not worth of the crypto cause.

SHA256 is NSA, ECDSA-secp256k1 is NSA , the odds of 'satoshi' putting in 100% NSA tools in his baby is zERO. Even most experts in crypto ( scientists ), are unaware that NSA created secp256k1 the prime-factor used by btc.

Mainly this was done, because NSA doens't do anything w/o a backdoor, but lucky for all of us, there are alt's that don't use NSA algo's, so the future is NOT btc.

BITCOIN came of the NSA, but BITMAIN(JACK-MA)/Alibaba richest guy in China saw to it to ADOPT, and today Ma is not only Chinese Communist Party bigwig, and richest man in China, but he also OWNS the entire crypto universe, BTC & all alts that matter.

It doesn't matter if NSA has the backdoor to btc or not at this stage, china has all the crypto keys in their pocket.

Long before NSA created BTC, the BIS wrote the spec (1997), BIS works with china, most likely how this played out is that China&BIS are working that china be the next reserve-currency, but they want an option of fiat or crypto, just like INTEL, its best to own it all, not knowing which will win, but if you own all the fighters in a fight, all the cars in a race, then its always win-win.

GOLD, GLORY, or GIRLS this is what men have fought for +10k years of human civilization


What is BITCOIN backed by ? Bullshit

WHat is GOLD backed by? If you don't hold it, you don't own it

What is USD backed by? Murder, Murder-Inc is the US-GOV since 1776, imperial mercenary army orchestrated by city-of-london, to colonize the world by MURDER.

How can BTC dislodge the USD? Murder, live by the gun, die by the gun.

Don't wish for things unless you understand the ramifications.

The USA has defaults 3 times since 1776, and the currency has been reset 1/2 a dozen times, but the USA stands for +200 years because of their willingness to murder everybody on earth.

The USA is a corporation, fully owned by bankers in the city-of-london.

When you see London taking over BTC, then you might see BTC be declared a winner, for now BTC is largely a CHINESE play-thing, a toy. That let's chinese rob hairlips, like taking candy from a baby.

We're looking for a few GOOD HODL'ers,

I suggest 'btc-brown shirts' on USA streets door2door, kicking in doors and demanding people to show their BTC transactions as proof of adoption.

FIAT USD is backed by murder, if columbia doesn't sell its cocaine in USD, then the CIA goes in and changes cartel heads,

If Aghan poppy growers don't sell raw opium to european herion dealers in USDollars then USA stages a coup in Afghanistan, and replaces Taleban with CIA growers, who sell in US Dollars.

If Gadaffi plans to have a gold-based currency and threatens to sell Libyan oil in other than USD currency, you destroy the country.

If Iraq talks about selling its oil in Euro's, you bomb the country back to the stone age, and replace its government with a loyal USA lap-dogs

If saudi doesn't sell its oil to the world in USD, then CIA goes into Saudi and finds a new family to run the concession

At this point in time, BTC has no mercenary army to threaten death upon the world for failure to adopt.

Do the people  here really want BTC to be back by murder, like the US Dollar?

What you say HODL'ers are you willing to fight for bitcoin, are you willing to make BTC great again?

Do you want to be the first HODL'er on your street to come home in a box from a foriegn war for BTC?

It's up to you, if BTC wants to dislodge the almighty dollar, then it must be by brute force.

FIAT USD is backed by murder, if columbia doesn't sell its cocaine in USD, then the CIA goes in and changes cartel heads,

If saudi doesn't sell its oil to the world in USD, then CIA goes into Saudi and finds a new family to run the concession

At this point in time, BTC has no mercenary army to threaten death upon the world for failure to adopt.

Jack Ma is now high-tech admin of china communist party, jack ma owns +90% of all crypto mining, & pools on earth, richest man in China, and now head of tech for CCP.

So what's the point of this OP? To distract? To suggest that they don't already own 100% of the crypto-universe?

The CCP already owns BTC, and has owned it 5+ years past. The CCP owns all alt-crypto mining hw & pools as well, the chinese cannot lose this game.

It's clear that BIS has designated China as NWO post USD collapse.

All crypto is owned by CHINA, not just BTC bitmain also produces mining asic boxes for all the top 50 cap crypto's, including zcash, you name it, and bitmain can make a asic box to mine it,

Jack Ma owns all the major mining pools, all the hardware, richest man in China, and now leader of Chinese Communist Party.

Jack Ma indirectly owns this board/forum, thus he directs the crypto mania

Funny thing is that all the profits from Bitmain were plowed into ML, and now MA makes his real money from facial recognition boxes that are installed by the millions in CHINA.

Jack Ma owns Alibaba, that bigger than AMAZON, and MA can pay his people &  pay suppliers in 'cryto' that costs him nothing, and he owns it all, not a bad racket.

Where is the USA in all this no-where.

NSA may have created BTC, but CHINA leads the horse.

...

What's the point here? Don't fool yourself with the 51% bullshit, cuz since 2013 CHINA has owned crypto, all of it, even the shit.

Mining, REAL MINING, looks at mining for gold, selling that gold to pay the payroll and equipment costs, and gov taxes, nobody who mines keeps the gold, its quickly sold. If the current price of gold doesn't cover cost you don't mine.

This is why calling BTC hamster running 'mining' is just plain dumb, because here miners are told to HODL, and in real world, miners sell the shit as quick as they can, so they can keep the lights on in the tunnels so they can keep mining.

In BTC world everybody is RICH moron, and electricity & hw are free, ... and you HODL, this is virtual bullshit, but idiots refuse to deal with reality.
