well, you seem very confident and optimistic about what are you saying, and that is good actually we need people with good optimistic.

If you dependent of the reply of some website then what avoid to the website to found a puzzle?

What I am tryting to tell you is that this kind of programs need to generate the keys on the fly without depend of anything else. I recomend to you to read the informacion about how keys are generated.

https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/mastering-bitcoin/9781491902639/ch04.html

Also wha are you saing to store that data? that is complety unnecesary, the keys need to be generated and checked on the fly without store anything.

Best regards!

Do you read about the Dunning-Kruger effect ?

The difference is that with publickey you can apply Bsgs algorithm (you can do arithmetic operations with the publickey that are directly linked with the privatekey)

And the problem with hashes is that you can't do those operations ( well you can add them or Subtract them but the result is not linked to anything not publickey or privatekey).

About windows version i recommend to use it on the WSL environment.

Hi, there is no need to write in Spanish i can read English without need to translate it, so if you want to speak in Spanish you can do it in PM or telegram.

I would not use that "shit load" to refering to 870 bitcoin.


Interesing reaction, why is that? i am refering to the emoji.. seems like you were hoping for that increment some months ago.

By the way there is something odd this transaction:

12f34b58b04dfb0233ce889f674781c0e0c7ba95482cca469125af41a78d13b3

I understand the motivation behind the increment in the unsolved puzles but why saatoshi_rising send 0.09 BTC to 1 Privatekey? address: 1BgGZ9tcN4rm9KBzDn7KprQz87SZ26SAMH

Maybe some kind of announcement but i not think that it was necessary.

That is amazing.

Let's keep the hunt.

Regards!

In my case (keyhunt) and I think that it is a general case, hexadecimal is only used as output only for "friendly" representation. Internally the program works with decimal numbers a.k.a. "Big number" variable like mpz_t (from libgmp) or Int for (libsecp256k1 library).

So it should be the same performance.

Thank you for the clarification, i want to have the same experience like you for GPU topics, it will be soon I hope.

Regards

I don't understand anything, the start string of the address don't have any relationship with the range

No you aren't any closer

Yes my version of BSGS is a little more faster because the bloom filter use less memory than the hash table.

This debate between GPU and CPU power need to be clarified.

Obviously GPU Power is better than CPU.

So to compare apples with apples, we need the exactly same program or algorithm to see how fast is one or another.

The main advantage of CPU programs that use RAM as "booster" is that RAM for CPU can reach some 128 GB or some terabyte if you are testing it in some custom server.

The GPU max Memory available is some 32 GB in some high end devices.

That is why there aren't many programs like BSGS for GPU.

So we can't compare an algorithm like kangaroo for GPU against some Custom BSGS with stride in CPU because in that case we are comparing apples and pineapples. (There is not point of comparation)

Regards

That is what the stride do.... Even the 125 can be found in seconds with the correct stride..

Not forget to mention that he also increase the prize of the unsolved puzzles in a Factor of 10 just like he said.

But deterministic wallet can mean anything that can be reproduced with some algorithm, It can be an existing algorithm or a completely custom one.

I bet and believe that the creator used a custom algorithm or something that he create from scratch

there is no way to narrow it down with 100% certainty, In the best case the complexibility is the same, in the worst case the complexibility is sometimes worse. I've trying so many methods and none of then give you some certainty.

Ooh, I need to verify that address to understand your post, yes someone sent this last February enough balance to complete 1 BTC in tat address 1JWnE6p6UN7ZJBN7TtcbNDoRcjFtuDWoNL

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/1JWnE6p6UN7ZJBN7TtcbNDoRcjFtuDWoNL

But why? If that was the creator of the puzzles, he need to ajust all the unsolved puzzles.

He knows more or less what he is talking about.

I think that method will be some inefficient, if you already have the publickeys i think that is better homologate the search to an only one Kind of search, all by Xpoint or rmd160 or addresses

Current search for address is this:

What he proposes is something like:

But if you already have the publickets of your target then is more easy:

Transform your publickeys to rmd160 search

sadly yes, but are you going to do a list of more of 2 billion address?

I learn to develop C, twenty years ago,. But some of those years I didn't develop or practice anything. I just learn some others computer languages.

So I only have some 5-6 years of experience in that language.

About tips, learn to do algorithms and flowchars for computer programming.
Search for the regional and mundial ICPC problem set and solve it in less than a 24 hrs (Those algorithm problems are made to be solve in 3-4 hrs).

I am just an average programmer, well that is what I think, i have some problems finding a good job, maybe I am part of those who knows something well enough to know all things that I don't know, aka dunning kruger effect

Hi @zielar, nice to see you here


As we know the puzzle 125 is 32 times bigger than puzzle 120 but prize is only a 4% bigger, i doubt about that such "magic" tool exists. But we don't have way to know.

If that exists it should be a mathematical approach.


We already know that puzzles a random and there is not math relationship between them
