it may be some kind of idiot test
These local "idiots", including amaclin, have already claimed 50 of the 256 rewards.  |
Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated! |

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Anyway I just wanted to say that this is an interesting thread and I think is likely to be a test of some sort of key generation method that has been used for cold storage (so I think the creator of the puzzle would like you to keep at it). |

This tx is weekly faucet payment to poor captcha solvers. Nothing interesting. |

I have the formula:
y = 2n-1 + [rand() MOD (2n-1)]
[edit] or rather:
y = 2n-1 + [rand() MOD 2n-1]

Thanks,

Looks like all the transactions through 50 bits have been claimed and the 51 bit key has still not been claimed: https://blockchain.info/tx/08389f34c98c606322740c0be6a7125d9860bb8d5cb182c02f98461e5fa6cd15It is impossible to get all the rewards. It is possible to get the next reward (0.051 BTC) in the sequence. There are only 1,125,899,906,842,620 possible keys for the next unclaimed reward of 0.051 BTC. At your rate of 5,000,000,000,000 trial per second it would only take a bit over 225 seconds to try all of them. There is no hope of getting all the remaining rewards but it should be totally possible to get a few more small rewards from the sequence. |

LBC just found 38-42 of the puzzle transaction: http://lbc.cryptoguru.org:5000/trophiesI am keeping record of all of them in hopes to find a pattern. I don't think there is a pattern or that this is even a puzzle. I think it's just a demonstration of security based on bit length of the PK. Thanks, Jude |

Oh nice. I didn't know there was a thread about this. LBC just found 38-42 of the puzzle transaction: http://lbc.cryptoguru.org:5000/trophiesI am keeping record of all of them in hopes to find a pattern. I don't think there is a pattern or that this is even a puzzle. I think it's just a demonstration of security based on bit length of the PK. If I understand his posting correctly Ryan has the keys for 1-37, LBC found 38-46 so far. (and some guys up to 50, although they evidently didn't search the whole search space as LBC does) I also think there is no pattern, it's just random keys of given length. Some early warning system or security demonstration as you say. Rico |

I wish I could win this huge amount so I can be the richest bitcoin millionaire or so. Lets see who could solve this puzzle and then we could call the person a genius. But, instead of struggling with it and ending up in disappointment, I will just focus on my regular job to have some peace of mind at least. |

Let's be precise here. The pool found a private key to 8661cb56d9df0a61f01328b55af7e56a3fe7a2b2 (1DFYhaB2J9q1LLZJWKTnscPWos9VBqDHzv) as 0xade6d7ce3b9b. At the time of the find, there were 0 BTC on that address. This is #48 of the puzzle transaction. Rico |
