Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it

[optioncmdPR]

I feel that they are ,yes, "deterministic" , but due to a custom formula , and not related to any bip derivation schemes. Furthermore, I propose this custom formula has an output consistent with bitspaces and that the masking is used on integers 5 steps ahead to represent a bitspace 5 steps below it. One can easily claim  any set of addresses is a wallet. I also firmly believe that the creator carefully ommited defining the deterministic method, so that he cant be accused of being misleading should it turn out to be true.  And then there is a thrill in experimenting with maths . Taken as a hobby only , and not an obsession, I think its okay to dare conceive such a fantasy as winning a puzzle (or 4) , with mere logic. So shoot me dead, im having fun.

The creator creating this set of puzzles is both a good and a bad thing
If someone becomes addicted to it and abandons their main business, it is very scary. In the end, they may have nothing, even lose their job and house, because you may not be able to solve any of the puzzles in the end.
Everyone should still treat it with a calm mind, use extra energy and money to play and give it a try, and not take a gamble, as it can easily lead to failure.

Even now, many people are still obsessed with scanning keys, even though they know the success rate is almost zero. Along with that, the puzzle creator disclosed only some public keys for a few puzzles within large ranges, rather than for all puzzles in similar large ranges, accompanied by unconvincing reasons. This has already become an issue that few people are aware of.

That's right, I don't know anything.

0,001 is almost zero and 0,00001 is almost zero. To be precise, if You have RTX 5090 and good software and You run it all day long (24h) Your chance to solve 71st puzzle is 0,0000002. In other words, You need 5.500.000 days / 15.000 Years to be 100% sure that You solve it (or 7.500 Years to have 50% chance )

135 is even worse.

Let me repeat
For 70 bit puzzle should be 7500 years, 69 should be 4000 years, but here these puzzle found in months, not even 1 year
Think and jump to try your luck, remember if you have 1gb gpu or have ryx 5090 even hundreds gpu all have same chances to find, as reward is 1 key

[damiankopacz87]

70 was found in minutes becouse of Pubkey availability. 69 was found fast becouse Privkey was at very begining of range.

Hi
You can't solve puzzles from 71 by GPU
it can only be solve by CPU
PIZZLE 71 WELL BE SOLVED SOON

70 was not solve in minutes
People's were around 46 puzzle, when pubkey was released
And first telaurist found way of pollard kangaroo method and apply at CPU level, and takes days and month when he pick keys, till 70 bit range, later he applied gpu and slowly reach at 100 bit and stop, remember that time 1080 ti were highest gpu
Today etc 5090 found 80 bit in minutes at kangaroo method for pubkey
Those time frame were still same as today,

If 135 is "even worse" then how come it's around 6 to 7 times computationally more cheap to solve it then 71?

I'd say it will go down by this summer, if not sooner.

As soon as someone works on it 😮

[Bitcoin71]

Any new updates?

This puzzle is harder trickier than what we all thought!

Does anyone have a useful method or anyone thought or any suggestions for a useful method?

I still didn't get an answer, the question was not whether they are close or not, the question was what you guys would have done if you were suspecting some similar addresses are close to the key, scan the space between, avoid the space, etc. I don't have a 5090 and I randomly do random searches whenever I feel like it, so I'd appreciate your thoughts, and again, someone else talked about patterns, but however, based on your very own logic there's no way for any of you to believe (and so strongly) that those two are not or cannot be close, just saying.

I see alot of new people joining in, I'm gonna clear things up.

Search the whole space buddy don't skip, there's no way of knowing if the key is right next to the address or at the far end of the space. The avalanche effect takes place, one small change in the input (i.e. the private key) will result in a completely different output (i.e. the address) https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9923931. But sure there's logical exclusions you can make like it's most likely not gonna be in 400000010000000000:40000001FFFFFFFFFF but you never know truly.

Prefix search mean nothing, we had a whole discussion on this already and there's still an on going one in the development area, it's just random search with extra steps but I can see it being good for lower end computers to jump around the large keyspace. Your best bet is to generate a starting point and scan sequentially:
here's a quick way to generate a 8-char prefix

Code:

import random

# Generate 8-char prefix
prefix = random.getrandbits(30) | (1 << 30)

# Generate range
addr_range = f"{prefix:0<18x}:{prefix:F<18x}"
print(addr_range)

output:
57e913510000000000:57e91351FFFFFFFFFF

In terms of puzzle 71 and puzzle 135 - 135 time complexity is O(sqrt(N)) due to pub exposure meaning its sqrt(2¹³⁵) so the complexity of 135 is 2^67.5

Some crazy person around here would tell you to stay away from that space
The reasonable people have already made it clear: it doesn’t change anything, you don’t have any information

[GinnyBanzz]

People should treat the puzzle like the lottery, Depending on your hardware, you can calculate that a given time frame (in my case, a few hours) is the equivalent to buying a single ticket for the euro millions.

Chances are, you're not going to find it, but it's not impossible.

[damiankopacz87]

70 was not solve in minutes

Yes, I know, I was checking if you would want to distract readers from the main plot - searching the puzzle with one GPU is gambling.

If 135 is "even worse" then how come it's around 6 to 7 times computationally more cheap to solve it then 71?

I'd say it will go down by this summer, if not sooner.

It is even worse for "Kowalsky" who wants to brake it with RTX5090 - 0.0000000001 chance that he will breake it in one month. As I said above, its gambling.

Eurojackpot 1st prize win is 0.000000007 probable. Max first prize is 120.000.000 euro. Cost of running/degradation RTX5090 for one month is much higher than one eurojackpot ticket. Prize is higher. Go home folks, nothing to find here.

If I have 1 4090. What is my chance of solving puzzle 71 and solving puzzle 135 and compared chance to lottery?

[GinnyBanzz]

If I have 1 4090. What is my chance of solving puzzle 71 and solving puzzle 135 and compared chance to lottery?

Puzzle 71 is 2.36 sextillion possibilities.

Lets assume euromillion odds, that 1 in 140 million.

A 4090 should be capable of 6 billion keys/second.

That means, if you run it constantly, then approx every 47 minutes you have the equivalent chances of a single euro millions ticket.
