1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to value bitcoin bitmap ordinals and what do you think about them? on: July 17, 2023, 04:38:21 AM

What’s it’s usecase aside from spamming the Bitcoin network. There’s a lot of blockchain which this kind of NFT can done instead they are spamming Bitcoin network by attaching useless piece of shit on every transaction and called a BRC20.

Go to marketplace. There’s tons of them available in the market being sold on a ridiculous hype price for a piece of garbage in blockchain network.

Don't you think bitcoin Mixers have done more damage to bitcoin than all others combined?

NEVER SEND FUNDS TO UNKNOWN PEOPLE

Support only developers like Alberto or WanderingPhilosopher. These people are doing all the works development and improvement. Other people are just money beggers.


No one is begging here. OP himself asked if someone is in a position to solve the puzzle if he can upgrade the hardware. What makes you think like this. I respect all the developers, but it doesn't take someone else's right to take a chance on it. If I am not a developer, does it mean I should be dumped anyway.

Nice to see this puzzle is still on going. It’s been years and I totally forgot about this.

So the conclusion until now is that it is only possible to crack the keys with brute force and no formula was found?

Was thinking to start working on this again but when I think of the amount of brain cells that are going to be destroyed I just shake it off.

What I could eventually do is provide some funds for funding of hardware or something needed.

Anyone thinks that with the help of some funds it can help to crack the case?
I've been using Core i7 with two 1tb hard drive. If can get a change to upgrade my hardware to a decent GPU coupled with eight 1 tb hard drives, that would be enough for me to hunt this puzzle down... Please ENABLE ME to. Here is my wallet address again 1AfQHpdtZtMyf4F1H4CrVuvCwtX41rTxob

Bro, I have been working on this puzzle for almost a year and I discovered various assumptions and successfully tested, which I am unable to share with any one just because someone with improved hardware can quickly reach it. I need your funding to upgrade the hardware. I am continuously checking my address: 1AfQHpdtZtMyf4F1H4CrVuvCwtX41rTxob

Let me explain you all guy how one can reduce bit size from 2^130 to near to 2^103.
First of all you just focus on how much bits are reduced? around 26 bits right (The first one can always be subtracted from pub key). So how big is 2^26? 2**26 = 67108864
So these are the pub keys in which one of the key is under 2^103.
The moment to try to go one single bit further, things are gonna get a little bulky.
The trick is simple, you have 1 public key, add generator to it and now you have two public keys whose private keys for instance are 89 & 90 or 534354234384847 & 534354234384848.
Why we do this? because we want to divide our public key to reduce its size and we don't know whether it is odd or even so add one to it and and now you have both.
Now you divide both and you have one correct result and one incorrect.
In second step you repeat the process of adding 1 to both of them and dividing 4 of them..
So this is like dividing pubkeys, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, .... yep,, you got it!!

If you look at the messages and ECC knowledge level of batareyka, you can easily figure that he is neither proficient in maths not in programming. For those who have been hammering around EC they can easily point out that EC has countless ways to surprise you when you think you got it but the very next level discovery shuts you down. I am convinced he has just found one of those surprises and didn't tried to reconfirm it. Whatever subtraction, addition, multiplication & division you do, Modular arithmetic will shut you down and at the end you are nowhere. Finally you don't get offended with Questions, the world we see today is a result of questioning.

If the target key is not a prime number, you could find a divisor for it, it could either be an even number or an odd number, I guess nobody has ever tried it yet.😉

I'd imagine finding the correct divisor is as difficult as solving the DLP, maybe solving DLP  is exactly finding the correct divisor, I wouldn't know, because I never finished high school.🤣

Finally you reached the root problem or in other words security behind secp256k1. Figuring out Odd vs Even is literally the DLP itself. By far, any form of calculation on the curve won't work due to clock math nature of rounding around the resulting points.

Hello.
Could you share your algorithm?
I wonder how you managed this: "Puzzle 115 pubkey and reduced it to 2**28 bits in 2 seconds".

Sincerely,
be healthy.

Don't believe in that, it is fake.

fake

Agree.

Why from 115 to 28 bits? in that case why not up to 1 bit?

Guys please don't believe in that, in any case we only need to know one bit on the right side to break ECDSA

Subtracting -70 from +50 is resulting in +120.
I am still not getting trangular thing, can you explain with a simple example pl

I guess you are way off the map! 2 trillion keys? The actual number is 5 to 6 public keys in order to form 2 triangles and solve the key, more than that will confuse you, as it has confused me with a few million keys, I see hexadecimal characters wherever I look, after working on them for hours. Lol.

LOL, these hexadecimals do often come into my dreams and dancing around as well.
I sure didn't got your point of TRIANGLES. What I was referring to trillion thing is this.. Suppose we are searching the private key which is within bit range of 16:32. I made a list of initial 6 public keys like I have a file in which 1-6 public keys are stored. Now I subtract 16 from the puzzle public key. Suppose the hidden private key is 21. So when I subtract 16 from it the resulting key at the same position but in lower bit size. Now 21-16=5 and now I check whether this public key is in my file in which I saved initial public keys. So this is simple thing I am referring as 2 trillions... Can you explain your TRIANGLE THING?Huh??
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it on: May 31, 2023, 06:09:54 AM

Can you tell me why is this happening? Ok, if I subtract this

Code:
02A1940074961CDF60CB2A0E7BC7157A7970B05469C58EEB5AD1C0462CE0C17811
from #125 puzzle, the result is :

Code:
02ed01ff219ed5c1afc12d991a82e3063ddcee1fd53b46f7cad52a0d87a7112aed

And if I subtract this
Code:
0290ad85b389d6b936463f9d0512678de208cc330b11307fffab7ac63e3fb04ed4
which is actually 2^124 public key, if I subtract it from #125 puzzle the result is :
Code:
03ed01ff219ed5c1afc12d991a82e3063ddcee1fd53b46f7cad52a0d87a7112aed

I know why this is happening though, because the first subtraction is actually inverse addition, the distance between the first public key and the second one is exactly the private key of #125.

This is why I'm stuck and can't solve this puzzle, and this is one of the easiest of puzzles since we know exactly it starts with a 1.
But I am close God willing, it should be solved soon.


Ohh boy you are 100% correct. The real problem is one can only do first subtraction and after all, it doesn't reduces its size. Why? let me explain.
The private key which we are looking for is between 2^124 : 2^125.
Now you need to understand that amount of numbers or p.keys from 1 to 2^124 is equal to the amount between 2^124 : 2^125.
So when we subtract 2^124 from the pubkey which is between 2^124 : 2^125, then we are actually making it fall between the range of 1 to 2^124.
Let me take you to a step further. If the puzzle private key is above the half in range 2^124 : 2^125, then you can do one more subtraction. You can further subtract 2^123 from previous subtraction result. That's it.
So far, I figured that to actually work with this subtraction thing, one need a data base of public key from 2 to 2 Trillion for that matter or more, and perform various models of subtraction from puzzle pub key and check if resulting pubkey is falling within that 2 to 2 trillion result. That's the best shot I've reached so far.

Check this https://github.com/iceland2k14/kangaroo
