For the love of Almighty God, for the love of everything, Please guys help me; someone help this newbie compile the ecctools made by Alberto for windows,

https://github.com/albertobsd/ecctools

I tried compiling myself but it fails. I don't know, I'm not programmer.

Many thanks,

Do I not have a compiled version on GitHub?

If this is the one that also contains, BSGS, that’s the only program that doesn’t work on my compiled version.

You are right, I didn't even think about it. On the other hand, I understand his point. I can make another pub key and see if he's willing to test his method with me or not.

Just sign a message with the privatekey to proof that you own the privatekey for the pubkey without exposing it.
Post the signature with the used message. Without knowledge of the message the signature can be forged.

Excellent idea!, thank you; now I just need to know if mcdouglasx is willing to play along.

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!!

Thank you so much @WanderingPhilospher for compiling. You indeed compiled them last year, but you only compiled 2 tools out of 8 tools that Alberto developed. Now after checking github, they re now completed. Thanks friend again!

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?

OP! Bulista, Welcome back! Nice to meet you again mate, Glad to see you alive! Are you doing okay?

There are currently no known formula and will probably not be one to be found for the puzzle private keys which did not reveal its public key. The only way to search and find 66 is the bruteforcing.

HOWEVER: every 5 bits have their public key revealed which makes it easier to solve with a LOT of known and NOT known formulas for example Kangaroo made by Jan or BSGS (Baby Step).
Nevertheless recently puzzle 120 and 125 got solved by the same persons or group of people which make us doubt that there are indeed a hidden formula that is being used to solve the puzzles that have their pub keys revealed by those unknown group of people. We believe the same solvers are currently trying to solve 130 now too. Which has over 13 BTC now. We are trying to fight them and take the coins before they take 3 prizes in a row.
Keep in mined, the possible hidden formula applies only for the puzzles addresses, that haves their pub keys revealed. For 66, there is almost 100% certainty that it will not be possible to solve exepct by bruteforcing. Because its public key is not revelaed and the hash cannot be undone, so there is no way to escape.

I can crack it with few funds, please enable me to do that,,, 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

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

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.

There is no hidden formula here. BSGS

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.

Thank you for your interest in the ongoing puzzle and your willingness to contribute to the efforts to crack the keys. You are correct in noting that the current conclusion is that brute force remains the only viable method for cracking the keys. However, this does not mean that progress has not been made or that there is no hope of success.

Advancements in hardware technology have made it possible to perform brute force attacks much more quickly and efficiently than in the past. By using specialized hardware and parallel processing techniques, it is now possible to greatly reduce the time required to crack a key.

Personally speaking, your contribution could help me fund the acquisition of such a hardware, thereby accelerating the pace of progress and increasing the likelihood of success. With your support, I could potentially make significant strides in cracking the keys and solving this puzzle.

Furthermore, the potential benefits of cracking the keys could be significant. It could pave the way for the development of new encryption methods and security protocols, which could have far-reaching implications for the security of sensitive data across industries.

I deeply admire and appreciate your consideration and hope that you will choose me to support my effort at 15Y5kMbf8Niu6ALFMUhgP9x9RVcVoeBknm to crack the keys and solve this intriguing puzzle.

If you are serious about this offer, I might be able to work on something and then give you a range and a public key so that you could spend the funds on finding the key, but first I need to be certain about the range.😉

This is puzzle created by someone from first BTC development. Maybe Satoshi, Maybe Finn,
it is created for people to check that is possible to crack secp256k1 so it is not theft.

But the problem is someone has knowledge - not power as milion GPU's.


it has been cracked by math not by pollard , not by BSGS, not by GPUS.

and it is the problem .

And BSGS is not a math ? it's all math here bro. 

[ripemdhash]

BSGS? sorry but not for 125 and more bit.

the memory will be huge.

No, for those we have Pollard Kangaroo, and they are math too

[ripemdhash]

you are not understand.

the math which is in BSGS or pollard rho or lambda, we all know -> all people know what and why.

but as always are smarts scientist which know a lot of more and not publish their papers.

I mean math which can solve a lot of things but it maybe is hidden for us.

Puzzle 129, 134, 139, 144, 149, 154, 160 are already solved, this means that this puzzle is rigged, but anyway, is it harder to solve puzzle 66 than mining a block?

Why on earth you said that above puzzles are already solved, however they aren't? We've been trying to solve a single puzzle 124 for past 8 months are so and now you suddenly claimed that all puzzles with pubkeys are solved. Are you checking their balances on Ethereum or some other cheap drug Blockchain?
