Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it

[kuramuqnko]

Sorry, guys, but unfortunately I have to ask my question for the third time, as Im still curious. SimonNeedsBitcoin steered the conversation in a completely different direction that’s already been discussed multiple times here and whether that path is right or wrong doesn’t concern me. What SimonNeedsBitcoin decided to explain was an answer to a question I never asked. So… once again, I had like to ask my question, and if anyone can answer, I will really appreciate it. I don’t understand what difference the puzzle number makes - whether it’s #61, #71, #82, etc. And specifically, what makes the puzzles that are multiples of 5 special — like #85, #100, #105? Or in the end, since no one is giving an answer, does that just mean this thing has no significance at all?

The public keys of multiple 5 puzzles were intentionally revealed, which opens the way to the possibility of using kangaroo, which allows for a faster solution of the problem, something that is not possible with puzzles 71, 72... that do not end in 5 or 0, which makes them difficult to solve because only conventional (slow) brute force can be applied. However, if for example you solve puzzle 71 and do not use the Mara service, when sending the transaction, you are exposing its public key to the world, which will cause bots to use kangaroo and replace your transaction, taking away your prize, since the difficulty of puzzle 71 lies in the fact that the public key is hidden, but once an attempt is made to spend it and it is included in the mempool, the public key is leaked.

For this reason you should use mara Slipstream for these puzzles, because mara does not broadcast the transaction publicly, which means it does not reveal the public key until the transaction is confirmed (included in a block) and at this point, this is not reversible, so you will have collected the reward without problems.

Thank you for the answer! The explanation was simple, but I just didn't pay attention. I thought there were several puzzles with known public keys, but I hadn’t noticed that it's specifically the ones that are multiples of 5.

I personally have no trust in intermediary sites like Slipstream Mara. These are all delusional thoughts that are expressed. Anyone who can solve Puzzle 71 can create a transaction with a gift of 1 million Satoshi and broadcast it on the network. Rest assured, with this reward, miners will not hesitate for a moment to accept it. Your transaction will be confirmed and there is no need to worry until the robots try to reach the public key from the private key.

Bullshit.

Even if you accept a 6 BTC fee, a pool still has to find a block in the end. And as we’ve seen before, many vultures are active and would use the replace-by-fee method to overwrite the transaction. Just admit it—you want to steal the money and nothing else. So far, slipstream has always worked; why wouldn’t it work now? Especially with Marapool behind it. For Marapool, 7 BTC is like $1,000. No one there would try to steal—it’s at least extremely unlikely.

I’ve seen a lot of bullshit here about how this whole thing works lately. These people looks the same of those who believes Karl Marx’s theories would work without understanding nothing about how our reality works. Every block is supossed to be mined in 10 minutes by default, except some cases that it is mined in one minute or in one hour. Setting a higher fee doesn’t change anything since RBF let you set a higher fee than what you set before. So why do you think setting a million of satoshis would get your transaction mined safely? Just because it’s a high fee? You’re right when you said miners will not hesitate to accept your transaction with one million in fee, but how about a bot double it with a 2 million satoshis as fee? Will the miners accept it or your transaction is so special that it cannot be RBF? What will you do between the time you broadcast your transaction and the time it is confirme? Oh let me guess: loose your funds to a bot cause you were ignorant about how this whole thing works. The problem with low entropy like 71 is it can be cracked easily once you broadcast a transaction and the public key is exposed. Since it’s security is low, bots will crack and replace your transaction with a higher fee and you lose your funds. The problem people here seems to not understand is: it’s not the security of bitcoin, it’s the entropy. By default the wallets today has 256 bits os security which is impossible with modern hardware to crack it, but with 71 bits of entropy its security is nothing. But remember: only brute forcing is still almost impossible without public key, but once you have the public key you can get the private key in seconds.

Anyone here can explain the ripmed160 section ?
And the most logical way to observe it based on this image


So it dissected into 5 part ?
8 digit each ? 🤔
Or not ?

Brother, I agree with your point. There are so many scammers out there. They even ask people to send their transaction data to a private mining pool. This is practically like giving them your private key, allowing them to decrypt it and steal your funds in a matter of minutes. They claim they can decrypt your private key in seconds, so are they so noble as to be completely free of greed? That's completely against human nature.

Bitcoin's advantage lies in its decentralization. You need to use traditional transfer methods to ensure adequate security. As long as you pay the highest transaction fee, your transaction will be confirmed by miners around the world, and you can receive your bonus in a minute or even tens of seconds.

Do you prefer having miners around the world confirm your transaction, or just having it confirmed by a private mining pool? They can't even grasp such a simple principle.

I was once a victim of having my ETH in Metamask wiped out, although the amount was small. I'm just fed up with so many scammers online, so I'm speaking out. How you transfer your money is your own decision. Don't regret it later.

For the remaining unsolved lower bitlength puzzles the solver has to use non-public mempool with so far the only easy public service at slipstream.mara.com OR the solver is a complete idiot as was the case with puzzle #69.

Any solver of puzzles #71, #72, ... which are not multiples of 5 have to be mined from non-public mempools. Period!

Solvers of remaining puzzles which are multiples of 5, i.e. #135, #140, ... #160, don't necessarily need non-public mempools and should be fine to broadcast their puzzle withdrawal transaction publicly. Though it doesn't really hurt to do it via slipstream.mara.com, too. I'd consider it safer that way.

It's funny how some dudes here don't seem to understand how RBF works and that basically all mining pools have an economic incentive to have FullRBF enabled by default. Therefore you can't prevent that your transaction gets replaced as long as the replacer follows RBF rules. You can't opt-out RBF successfully anymore. Period!

Anybody who doesn't understand this, shouldn't play with solving #71+, just don't come later and cry you've been robbed by bots. DYOR!

I don't understand. What is the difference between any puzzle and these that are multiples of 5?

 In case you solve any of the puzzles from 71 to 134, you must consider several precautions to avoid being robbed by automated bots.

I understand well how the public mempool works and how transactions function. I've read through the entire thread and I understand the risk of being front-run by bots when transfering funds.
This is the first time I’m seeing someone mention that “solvers of remaining puzzles which are multiples of 5 don’t necessarily need non-public mempools and should be fine to broadcast publicly.” I don’t understand what difference the puzzle number makes - whether it's #61, #71, #82, etc. And specifically, what makes special the puzzles that are multiples of 5 - like #85, #100, #105?

Don't trust online claims, especially in the digital currency space, where scammers are everywhere.

Puzzle 71 has been the subject of three or four months of global effort since the solution of Puzzle 69, but the private key hasn't been cracked. Can you believe your funds could be stolen by a so-called bot within a minute of your transfer? Bitcoin's most important principle is decentralization. Even if you're transferring funds publicly, as long as you use the highest transaction fee, miners around the world will rush to confirm your transaction. This is the essence of Bitcoin's decentralization and security. What's there to worry about? You can claim your winnings in under a minute. If Bitcoin were so easily hackable, it would have collapsed long ago.

Remember, anyone who asks you to submit your transactions to a private mining pool is likely a scammer. Even if the private mining pool is a large company, what about their employees? Anyone who handles your transaction information could try to steal your winnings. Think for yourself.

You keep repeating the same thing, either you're the bot owner waiting in ambush, or SimonNeedsBrain
Nice try Diddy LOL, can you share your bot with us?

This is hilarious! If I knew how to use a bot like this, I'd have already cracked dozens of Bitcoin addresses. I'd probably be on vacation in Hawaii.

Don't you think that asking you to give them your transaction data is essentially like saying, "Hey, give me your private key."?

You guys are so technically proficient, do you think private mining pools are any worse than you?

Wooow
You claim you crack Bitcoin wallets and have lot of money, and enjoying time n money
Here is simple example and test
You should create 71 bit range address
Put their 1 btc
Post address here, and announce your destination address where you will transfer your 1 btc full or partial btc after 3 hours, using ur secure mempool tx, remember no one have ur pvkey,
After play this test you will learn lot of things, when bots will pickup before go to your destination address
If you successfully transfer your fund to your des address , whole forum will learn from you
Come and play And proof your simple tx by mempool
After 12 hours

Wooow
Let me guess what you're going to ask me to do next? Are you going to ask me to transfer my Bitcoin to your address? Are you going to ask me to give you my private key? Are you going to use some incomprehensible scheme to defraud me of my money?

I've seen scammers like you before, and I don't have that much Bitcoin. How about you transfer me 1 BTC first, and then I'll follow your instructions and join your game?

[mcdouglasx]

To dispel the idea that private miners shouldn't be trusted, let's focus on Mara Splitstream. Mara is a publicly traded, regulated, multi-million dollar company that won't damage its reputation or make its shares fall over a few BTC that they probably don't even care about.

And even if Mara went crazy and replaced the TX, it's still the number one option, since the traditional way is to win the lottery and put the winning ticket on a park bench with a message that says "redeem me"

Don't say this nonsense in this thread. What I said has nothing to do with standard transaction sending methods. Everyone has been using this method since the beginning of Bitcoin. Your nonsense is a misleading way of breaking the standard and normal principles of sending transactions. So stop telling your lies. Are you getting paid by Slipstream for these ads?

It's entirely possible that this was just advertising.

I'm not targeting any private mining pool. I'm saying that all private, third-party sources shouldn't be trusted. We can only trust ourselves, not anyone else. The claim that private keys can be cracked in seconds is, in my opinion, a form of intimidation. The claim that puzzle #69 was stolen by a bot is also a form of intimidation. If they were truly that powerful, why is puzzle #71 still sitting there? Everyone knows that cracking private keys is a difficult task, requiring immense computing power and even luck. If bots were truly that powerful, I believe all the puzzles would have already been cracked.

If you cracked the private key for #71, I'm sure everyone would say you were lucky because everyone was working hard to crack it, but no one else had your luck. When you try to transfer your winnings to your address, they'll say, "Hey, wait, don't do it normally. A bot will steal it! You should give me your transaction information and I'll do the transfer for you. That way it's safe." Haha, they're too embarrassed to ask you to give them your private key because it's too obvious. They only need your transaction information and claim they won't steal your winnings. Don't you think this is the biggest joke of the 21st century?

Only normal, traditional transfers can be guaranteed to be secure, comply with Bitcoin's rules and decentralized principles, and truly receive your winnings. Of course, if you're afraid and want speed, just use the highest fee.

[Mafioso246]

LMAO I wasn’t expecting to laugh this but I had a blast. Maybe it’s time to stop trying to solve puzzles and just build a bot instead I used to feel bad for the person who found #66 and #69 but lost them to bots but honestly, I don’t anymore. Chances are, they were someone like Mahmood or Simon. Whoever snatched those BTCs probably deserves them more than either of those two.

I used to think those two might be bot owners, but it’s clear from what they’ve written that they don’t even have enough knowledge to set one up. Mahmood’s argument: “Public key for #135 is out there, why hasn’t it been found in seconds?” Simon’s argument: “If the bots are so powerful, why haven’t they solved #71?” It’s painfully obvious they have no clue what’s actually going on.

[kuramuqnko]

I'll try to put this as clear as possible for the people reading here who don’t want to be misled. Who don’t want to get confused and, potentially, if they somehow manage to solve Puzzle 71, don’t want all their efforts, resources, or luck to go completely to waste.

There are two ways to take the funds from one of the puzzles: One is to find the private key of the  address and transfer the funds to another (your own) address. Finding the key is done through different forms of brute-forcing. The second way is to find the private key through reverse engineering from the public key. But in order to use the second method, someone must have already brute-forced the key and made a public transaction so that the public key becomes known. Different strategies. Personally, I find the second one much dirtier. In the first method, you're beating the game. In the second, you're screwing over a person.

Regarding the transactions. In the end, there are two ways to transfer the funds: via the public mempool and via the private mempool (MARA Slipstream). There have been many arguments about these two methods. Which one is the "right" one. Honestly, I think very few of those arguments have been sincere on either side. I believe that the people who claim that a transaction should go through the public mempool - only a very small portion of them genuinely believe that, and to me, they OBVIOUSLY don’t understand what would actually happen. The other part of people claiming that the public mempool should be used are simply those who also want to take the funds from Puzzle 71, but by using the second method. And if we say that even in MARA Slipstream the funds can be stolen is true, then in the worst case scenario the chances are 50/50. Let’s reduce this to the simplest math: with the public mempool, the chance of the funds being taken is 100 percent. With the private one  50.

Menowa* and Mafioso246 - I completely agree with both of you. And people like SimonNeedsBitcoin and mahmood1356 either have no idea how things actually work, or they’ve simply have a bot and choose to play dirty with the second method.

And if we say that even in MARA Slipstream the funds can be stolen is true, then in the worst case scenario the chances are 50/50. Let’s reduce this to the simplest math: with the public mempool, the chance of the funds being taken is 100 percent. With the private one  50.

Menowa* and Mafioso246 - I completely agree with both of you. And people like SimonNeedsBitcoin and mahmood1356 either have no idea how things actually work, or they’ve simply have a bot and choose to play dirty with the second method.

Simon was probably scammed in the past, which explains his attitude. But facts are facts. Mahmood, on the other hand, comes across as completely clueless. He clearly doesn’t understand, and he has this habit of forming opinions without having any real knowledge at least that’s what his posts suggest Their biggest issue is that there’s a 15-year-old thread full of context, and neither of them has read it. They fall into the trap of thinking their ideas are original, when in reality, they’re just rediscovering things that have been discussed for years.

I'll try to put this as clear as possible for the people reading here who don’t want to be misled. Who don’t want to get confused and, potentially, if they somehow manage to solve Puzzle 71, don’t want all their efforts, resources, or luck to go completely to waste.

There are two ways to take the funds from one of the puzzles: One is to find the private key of the  address and transfer the funds to another (your own) address. Finding the key is done through different forms of brute-forcing. The second way is to find the private key through reverse engineering from the public key. But in order to use the second method, someone must have already brute-forced the key and made a public transaction so that the public key becomes known. Different strategies. Personally, I find the second one much dirtier. In the first method, you're beating the game. In the second, you're screwing over a person.

Regarding the transactions. In the end, there are two ways to transfer the funds: via the public mempool and via the private mempool (MARA Slipstream). There have been many arguments about these two methods. Which one is the "right" one. Honestly, I think very few of those arguments have been sincere on either side.

Why do you think that a history of posting and threads over many years can make your opinions correct or that other users should accept your words? In order for everyone to clearly see which one is correct,
 I would like to ask you and the rest of my friends if you or anyone else can tell us the private key to this address?

Certainly neither you nor any other 15-year-old user can do this in a few seconds. So stop your nonsense and don't be complacent about your perennial stalk, and I say that in these few years you have only wasted your time and if you had gone to another job instead of talking nonsense, it would have been more beneficial for you.

Don't say this nonsense in this thread. What I said has nothing to do with standard transaction sending methods. Everyone has been using this method since the beginning of Bitcoin. Your nonsense is a misleading way of breaking the standard and normal principles of sending transactions. So stop telling your lies. Are you getting paid by Slipstream for these ads?

We all know what happened to the people who sent the transaction the normal way, and we know what happened to those who used Slipstream.

We’ve already played this game once; in the end, I won that round. There are already tests:

Mempool bot competition #2:

Address: 12B2uyEpoRsLDmJDLHJK5n4LeG946XtqM2
Puzzle 75 address space.
30 usd price.
Public key will be exposed tomorrow 27 June 2025 between 13.00 and 14.00 UTC.
Every participant BTC address which will be visible at least once in mempool RBF timeline will get 10 usd in BTC.

Thanks.

He doesn’t see it because he hasn’t read it and even if he does, he won’t understand what he’s reading. Maybe it’s a language barrier, but I doubt it. Right now, he’s probably trying to figure out what “kangaroo” or “bsgs” even means. If he’s testing RetiredCoder’s kangaroo implementation or WP’s fork, I’m almost certain he’ll see the results and think: “Omg, I found it so quickly! I should definitely try this on 135 too.” Then he’ll start brute-forcing that.

When he realizes it doesn’t work the same way, he’ll be disappointed. And of course, he’ll vanish into silence and return 3–5 months later with a new account and start posting again. Sadly, that’s the cycle this thread seems to follow for some users.

What I’ve come to understand is that being literate doesn’t mean you actually comprehend what you read. For the first time, I felt like I was talking to a wall. It’s sad, but true.

From now on, I’ll just ignore you. Trying to understand a 48 year old teenager who seeks attention by saying 'I found these with just simple Python code" but using someone else’s list' is pointless. I wish you success, I truly hope you’re the one who finds 71, transfers it the in your groundbreaking way, and that others are genuinely happy about it.
