I have another idea, The puzzle creator said the only thing all the private keys have in common, is that all of them were created from a HD wallet, and then masked from the left with zeros. Is it any weakness on the HD method of creating wallets? I mean, with the number of private keys already revealed, we could just try to target the searches for the the master private key that was used in the HD wallet. What do you think? Regards.

Quote It's not like the 02 or 03 were chosen arbitrarily. It's stupid to check for a collision by doing both 02 and 03. Just stick to the correct parity of the actual Y of the point. I could save some time there, calculating only what has to be calculated, C-02 or C-03, but... If it is stupid, why people sent funds to all 3, compressed-02, compressed-03 and uncompressed-04 addresses of the same private key?, by error? just for testing? who knows... I discovered this by accident, because did not understand which is the check on the private key, to decide which Compressed-02 or compressed-03 Id I must use, so I did both, and also the other U-4, C-6 and C7 and calculated everything else up to the ripemd160 hash, and searched all 5 in my list of list 53M ripemd160 hashes with balance. Just in case there is a treasure somewhere.

Thanks again for the detailed answer Alberto. I will try what you suggested.

My tool actually calculates for all the ID Bytes, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x06, and 0x07.

Code:

            printf("\r\n    " COLOR_RED);
            for(k=0;k<32;k++) printf("%02x", privkey[k]);
            printf(COLOR_RESET);				
        }

        // 1) Calculate Public Key using SECP256K1 eliptic curve
        if(single_calculation){
            printf("\r\n(1) (U)ncompressed & (C)ompressed Public Key from SECP256K1 curve (130 hex chars, 520 bits): ");
            if(single_calculation) start=omp_get_wtime();
        }
        result=secp256k1_ec_pubkey_create(ctx, &pubkey_from_secp256k1.p, privkey);       //secp256k1_ec_pubkey_create(const secp256k1_context* ctx,  secp256k1_pubkey *pubkey, const unsigned char *seckey)
        if(single_calculation){
            end=omp_get_wtime();
            printf("%.2f us",(end - start)*1000000);
        }

        }

Also talking about ID's. I realized the puzzle pieces are alternatively Compressed-02 and 03 only.

I got the list below just running my tool using the know private keys found here.

I know the puzzle creator said there is no pattern just a mask from HD wallets.

For example puzzle-1 to 5 are Compressed-02, and puzzle-6 is Compressed-03.

I will drop the uncompressed (04) and the Compressed 06-07 as the puzzle seems not using them.

Does anyone know if the uncompressed (04) and the Compressed 06-07 were used so far on any early days wallet? or for what are they used for?

I always dreamed finding something unspent on those ID's (04-06-07).

Quote from: albert0bsd on April 09, 2024, 12:41:48 AM Quote from: joseperal on April 08, 2024, 09:28:57 AM The search speed is between 15-25K keys/s per CPU thread, depending on the CPU clock. For CPU that speed is slow, the minimum acceptable speed per thread is at least 1 Million keys. Even my Core i5 laptop can do some 15 millions keys per second using only 8 threads. There is a lot of shortcuts that can be made to reach those speeds. Quote from: joseperal on April 08, 2024, 10:11:49 AM I am interested to know the nature of the bot wars. How is it possible the war? Are the Kangaroo and BSGS tools sending the private key findings to the developers? No those tools are open source and you can read the code to see what network activities they do. The bot war may start as soon an output transaction come from those address a transaction contains the public key, with it Kangaroo or BSGS can solve the private key almost instantly and with it they may be now able to make a new transactions with a different destination address Thank you very much for the responses Alberto. I know the chances to brute force puzzle 66 from private key to ripemd160 are very very small, but I would like to improve my tool, just for the sake of programming it, now you mention my tool seems slow in its performance per CPU thread. I benchmarked every step of the brute force loop, and most of the compute time goes into the ECDSA curve library secp256k1_ec_pubkey_create() function. I am using this library. Quote #include <secp256k1.h> // Bitcore eliptic curve library. https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1 // dont forget to link to /usr/local/lib/libsecp256k1.a #include <omp.h> // OpenMP CPU multithreading // 1) Calculate Public Key using SECP256K1 eliptic curve if(single_calculation){ printf("\r\n(1) (U)ncompressed & (C)ompressed Public Key from SECP256K1 curve (130 hex chars, 520 bits): "); if(single_calculation) start=omp_get_wtime(); } result=secp256k1_ec_pubkey_create(ctx, &pubkey_from_secp256k1.p, privkey); //secp256k1_ec_pubkey_create(const secp256k1_context* ctx, secp256k1_pubkey pubkey, const unsigned char seckey) if(single_calculation){ printf("%f ms",(omp_get_wtime()-start)*1000); } would you recommend any other? or any other PRO tips? Thank you very much in advance.

I discovered the tools yesterday in this other thread! thanks to someone that mentioned them https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1877935.msg63916232#msg63916232 I started my project few years ago, when puzzle-64 still had balance. I was away of this forum for a very long time. I like to fork projects I like, to keep them on the radar, not making any contribution to it. That does not mean I understand all the projects I have on my github. So I have no idea which kind of bad person you think I am. Might be your paranoia comes from a reflection of what you are. If you don't trust my binaries, Ok, just don't run them. Your awareness message was fair enough for the community. But, they can be ran safely in VM if you are still curious. It is my work, It is my choice to open the source or not. I hope you understand it. I am open to collaborate in private repo. My code is still not good to show, plenty of shit that needs to be cleaned. I am not very proud of it. The motivation creating my own tool was I didn't trust the LBC collider project (I do not understand perl), and I didn't trust the creators. I see you have done very good progress here with the GPU versions. I am still interested to know why puzzle 70, 75, 80, 85, get solved before 66. Is it any way of constraining the search space of puzzle-66 ? I made some statistic analysis as well and the bits of the known private keys are pretty randomly allocated in the space. I would like to understand the bot wars as well... I have to confess I didn't read this thread completely, my apologies if the answers are already here. Thanks. Quote from: AlanJohnson on March 26, 2024, 06:25:35 PM Quote from: cryptoperson678 on March 26, 2024, 05:52:39 PM Can anyone please be so kind and explain to me what it means that some public keys from this puzzle (like task 130 but not task 66 for example) have been found which makes kangaroo and keyhunt with bsgs mode possible? I thought we know public addresses as they hold the reward and the task is to find the suitable public key from a reduced key range. So what does it mean that the public key for task 130 is known and is 03633cbe3ec02b9401c5effa144c5b4d22f87940259634858fc7e59b1c09937852? I literally don't understand this. Thank you There are private keys , public keys and addresses. These are three different things. You can use BSGS or Kangaroo modes only on public keys but not on addresses. The known public keys in this whole challenge were intentionally released by it's creator. If you see an outgoing transactions in given address history you can easily check it's public key and try the BSGS or Kangaroo modes. When you have just address without any outgoing transactions your only method is to blindly guessing private keys in hope you will find one which corresponds to address. Currently finding 66bit privkey without knows public key can be considered as hard as finding 130bit privkey with public key known. Thank you very much for the explanation! My tool uses the hard way, private key to ripemd160 and then search on the list of ripemd160 with balance. [moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

A preventive action is to run the binary in a virtual machine without internet access.

Hi guys, Nice work! I also did develop my tool, "Colisionador" (collider in spanish), as I do not trust the founds are being sent to the cloud. When you mention the bots war, is it because the private key found is leaked to the cloud? I did program it on C, trying to make if super efficient and fast (I know it is still not as fast as your GPUs tools). I keep the source code closed at the moment, but just ask if you would like to collaborate. You can run the binaries released it if you want: https://github.com/japeral/colisionador_releases I like to run it in Debian on WSL, running on Windows 10. There is also binaries for ARMv7 and Windows X86. It collides against a sorted list of ripemd160 from public addresses with balance. On 2024-03-22 when I scrapped a fully synced BTC node database with 53994718 addresses (53.9 Million addresses). The list include the 256 pieces of the puzzle also, those with balance 0 and still not 0. You can download the full sorted list of r160's updated up to 2024-03-22 here: https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=1mAX4kdXaYSBYYGtgQf30Sw_Zkhl2GC3r&export=download&confirm=yes The tool, loads the list into RAM, and with a binary search on the sorted list, search each key ripedmd160 against the list in RAM. You can edit the list to target different public addresses with the "-list" parameter. Speed improvements are marginal if the list size is reduced, so I always load the entire list. The search speed is between 15-25K keys/s per CPU thread, depending on the CPU clock. On a AMD Ryzen 7 7730U CPU with 16th threads, the tool searches at 15K keys/s per thread, making a total of ~215K keys/s On a Raspberry pi4, @4 threads, it makes a total of ~31K keys/s. It currently supports CPU only. It spreads the load across all the threads available in the system. I use OpenMP for the parallelization. It computes the: compressed_02, compressed_03, uncompressed_04, compressed_06 and compressed_07 Id's. I am targeting the search space of puzzle 66 (that is all zeros from the left, bit 66 to 1, and the random bits down to bit 0). For that just run the tool with the parameter "-puzzle 66". The lower bits are randomized every 16777215 Keys (000000 - FFFFFF) ~ 15mins of work. Each thread is independent and jumps into a different location inside the puzzle search space. You can run as many instances of the tool, in as many machines you want. Because the random nature of the jumps, the probability of covering the entire search space is even. You could also target all the addresses with balance, just with the parameter "-puzzle 255", against the probability of finding anything. You could use it as a lottery cracker. If a finding happens, the tool saves the result in a found.txt file. It also converts the private key into WIF format for convenience to easily import it into the wallet with importprivkey command. I have a question: How the hell are you finding puzzle pieces 70, 75, 80, 85, etc before puzzle 66, if the search space of those puzzles are much bigger that the puzzle 66 search space? It is also interesting, puzzle pieces: 161-256 are also spent. Is it any other clue to delimit the search space of every puzzle piece? As far as I know: For puzzle 66, search space is: Code: from: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000 to: 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF That is: 36893488147419103231 keys to check! Thanks!

You can edit the list to target different public addresses with the "-list" parameter. Speed improvements are marginal if the list size is reduced, so I always load the entire list. The search speed is between 15-25K keys/s per CPU thread, depending on the CPU clock. On a AMD Ryzen 7 7730U CPU with 16th threads, the tool searches at 15K keys/s per thread, making a total of ~215K keys/s On a Raspberry pi4, @4 threads, it makes a total of ~31K keys/s. It currently supports CPU only. It spreads the load across all the threads available in the system. I use OpenMP for the parallelization. It computes the: compressed_02, compressed_03, uncompressed_04, compressed_06 and compressed_07 Id's. I am targeting the search space of puzzle 66 (that is all zeros from the left, bit 66 to 1, and the random bits down to bit 0). For that just run the tool with the parameter "-puzzle 66". The lower bits are randomized every 16777215 Keys (000000 - FFFFFF) ~ 15mins of work. Each thread is independent and jumps into a different location inside the puzzle search space. You can run as many instances of the tool, in as many machines you want. Because the random nature of the jumps, the probability of covering the entire search space is even. You could also target all the addresses with balance, just with the parameter "-puzzle 255", against the probability of finding anything. You could use it as a lottery cracker. If a finding happens, the tool saves the result in a found.txt file. It also converts the private key into WIF format for convenience to easily import it into the wallet with importprivkey command. I have a question: How the hell are you finding puzzle pieces 70, 75, 80, 85, etc before puzzle 66, if the search space of those puzzles are much bigger that the puzzle 66 search space? It is also interesting, puzzle pieces: 161-256 are also spent. Is it any other clue to delimit the search space of every puzzle piece? As far as I know: For puzzle 66, search space is: Code: from: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000 to: 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF That is: 36893488147419103231 keys to check!

I am having problems to sync the chain, I am stuck on block 141600, on the latest wallet version: v0.7.3.01-g and I have 13 connections to the network. I tried adding all the nodes posted here manually with no luck. I am currently stuck 48h ago and not syncing. Could someone post the list of nodes? (run 'getpeerinfo' command on wallet console and copy-paste here the response) Regards.

Ok, I am trying to sync to the peoples land mining pool chain but it does not sync. I am stuck 5 weeks ago. could you please list the nodes we need to keep to attach to the peoplesland chain?

Quote from: ADW69 on February 01, 2020, 05:57:48 AM The chain at peopleland Is the right chain again. The 190k chain is now synced to the real network, All masternodes are in sync again. Please change to the real chain again. I am going to email and chat with the known websites to fix the info, and I will get a new website asap first. If all are cool with this? Hi ADW69, Why you think the people land chain is the right chain? Why 2 mining pools are wrong? Did I wasted my time supporting the chain on block 136xxx ? I will trust the good chain as the supported by most mining pools. Sorry, but in the mean time I will keep banning manually all the nodes on block 193xxx.. I have a backup of 136xxx blockchain folder on a zip file, so if any of the other nodes manage to take me to 193xxx I will revert the blockchain folder easily to 136xxx... Whoever wants to support me, I will be giving away 1 Million tokens from 136xxx blockchain... please post your public addresses
