Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it

[Menowa*]

I wish puzzle creators would have prefix hints for puzzles instead of having to find it by luck or invest in hardware

Its not a puzzle to win money, its a puzzle to test bitcoin's security, maybe because the owner has a huge fortune and want to make sure his money will be safe. He doesnt care to giveaway 1000 bitcoin if hes capable of buying 100.000 of it.

Here a tutorial to use Mara Slipstream and avoid bots stealing your prize

1. Choose the wallet you want to transfer to.

2. Hit Max button to transfer all the amount available.

3. Hit Pay button.

4. See the minimum fee Mara needs to mine your transaction (it’s not the same all the time).

5. Choose a fee slightly above the minimum fee of Mara (If minimum at current time is 20, choose 50 so you have your transaction included and prioritized at the next block).

6. Hit Preview button (DONT EVER PRESS “OK” BUTTON).

7. Sign your transaction with sign button (BE CAREFUL TO NOT HIT "BROADCAST” BUTTON BY MISTAKE).

8. Go to share button and export your transaction with Save to file and save the file wherever you want.

9. Close the preview window to avoid making a mistake you'll regret forever.

10. Open your file in notes and copy the Hex transaction.

11. Paste it in slipstream Mara and activate your transaction.

If this tutorial has helped you, fell free to throw me a coin and i wish Good Luck for you guys!

Is this for electrum?
If ever found, i would disconnect before this

Yes, it is for electrum and make it offline can help if u broadcast the transaction by mistake, in this case u would need to copy the hex and activate through another device till it get mined before turning on ur connection

Whats to stop these bots from just stealing from bitcoin in every wallet thats been dormant for a few months/years in the same way they do with these puzzles?

everything above 120 bits +- is safe to transfer and bots won't be able to steal it

Every extra bit doubles the effort for a bot. The entropy of like 69-bits is pretty low and can be solved within a few seconds.
70-bits doubles that, 71-bits double the 70-bit's effort and so on. The effort grows exponentially.
So if the entropy is 256-bit, that's way too much effort for a bot to solve within timely manner.

Welp, I learned something today. Thank you.

That’s not totally accurate, every bit does not double the complexity but multiplies it by sqrt(2). This is due to how the algorithm operates.
Edit : if you know the public key of the wallet

Some say the prefix is a myth, others swear it’s in the coffee stains of their screens. Maybe the real hint was the friends we brute-forced along the way. If wallets could laugh, they’d giggle at ‘luck’ and try staring at the wall until HEX speaks. Remember: the puzzle loves you, but not enough to make it easy.

Forget exact divisors—division alone won’t reveal the key. You must work in parallel: scalars and points, two scripts running side by side. But that’s not enough. Beyond division, introduce subtraction—the interplay between these operations opens doors. This is how discoveries are made. I’ve followed this path and found my own truth, like a lone tree standing firm in the ocean’s expanse. The structure emerges when you stop forcing a single approach and let the operations guide you. Division fragments, subtraction shifts, and together they map the hidden lattice. The answer isn’t in one script or one method, but in their convergence. I’ve seen it. Now it’s your turn to trace the contours of the problem—not with brute force, but with layered reasoning. The tree is there. You just need to adjust your coordinates.

Careful you might be high

I have a theory regarding the remaining puzzles. I hope that those who find the key to the next puzzle will be able to delight me with bitcoins. Would you like to hear it?

[Akito S. M. Hosana]

Would you like to hear it?

No. 

[Akito S. M. Hosana]

No one cares about solving anything here anymore.

'I brute-forced 0.01% of the keyspace (pls retweet).'

'Here’s my C++ solver (it doesn’t work, but it’s blazingly fast at failing).'

'Join my Discord/GitHub/Telegram to collab (read: inflate my follower count).'

The 'apps' are either:

Backdoored (creator packed a Trojan or malware in it).

Vague claims ('I feel close'—spoiler: you’re not).

Straight-up lies (GitHub repos titled 'Fastest Puzzle Solver'… but with no actual solution).

I will give away 13% of all future finds  

My theory is called Three Numbers. They are 4, 7, and 9. It is applicable in this puzzle.
 Those who don't believe can apply the two previous puzzles using these numbers, and everything will fall into place!
 For the script creators, I would also ask you to send me the working script in a private message if you create it.
 If you want, I can write examples for you and post them here.

Backdoored (creator packed a Trojan or malware in it).

This might be worth it if no one checked EXE files for viruses. The best option would be if the puzzle creator themselves came across such a program and tested it—though that’s unlikely.

So, you also think that the programmers are ambushing the creator?

What do you want us to do with 4,7,9

I don’t think anything, certainly not enough to elaborate on conspiracy theories. But we all do know what the purpose of malicious programs is, and it’s certainly not to rob the poor.  

[Akito S. M. Hosana]

Maybe it's not about testing Bitcoin's security at all. Maybe the puzzle creator is testing his own security and knowledge—and still having fun in the process.

Maybe. But... it’s just not fun anymore. It’s become monotonous and boring. There are lots of trolls who test my nerves here...
