RTX 4070 Ti compute capability 8.9
1. Update/Install CUDA toolkit 12.3
2. Add this code in GPUEngine.cu:

Code:

       {0x75,  64},
      {0x80,  64},
      {0x86, 128},
      {0x87, 128},
      {0x89, 128},
      //{0x90, 128},
      {-1, -1} };

In file VanitySearch.vcxproj replace CUDA 10.2.props and CUDA 10.2.targets to CUDA 12.3.props and CUDA 12.3.targets
3. In project properties -> CUDA C/C++ -> DEVICE -> CODE GENERATION -> add:

Code:

compute_80,sm_80
compute_86,sm_86
compute_87,sm_87
compute_89,sm_89

Apply -> OK
4. Choose Build Solution from the Build menu Visual Studio.
Or linux build: make gpu=1 ccap=89 all
It seems so

Thanks for the code. I've compiled working binaries for CCAP89 already. I'll play around with the multi arch. stuff when I get some time!!

OK. Genius. I left this thread. If you wanted it, you succeeded. Enjoy your intelligence alone.

Don't do that, never back down from a challenge, especially this one which is a world stage class challenge. If you are discouraged, find the courage to keep going forward.

Remember I talked about this?

Code:

Imagine this is #130
00000000000000000000000000000002c56510da49e97b94ca065bbdfb67309c
And this is -n of 130
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffbf549cc0c655f24a6f5cc02ced4cf10a5
What happens if you drop all the leading Fs from -n of 130?
bf549cc0c655f24a6f5cc02ced4cf10a5

Now if #130 starts with 2, the inverse of #130 would be a value subtracted from n, and n has an e as it's 33rd character from right to left, so it should look like the above key, now if you drop b from it's beginning you will have this

Code:

f549cc0c655f24a6f5cc02ced4cf10a5

All you have to do is to calculate their percentage differences, then from there you could potentially reduce the bit range by guess work, and even if you have to guess 100 million keys, which is not the case, because with this method you can pretty much reach a very low range result after 1000 guesses, but lets multiply that by 100, you will have 100k offsets with one of them being a low as 65 bit low key. Then you can unleash savage kangaroos to catch the correct key.😉
I see other than *A holes, we also have artists here, is that Nicholas cage?

I made new code:
https://github.com/alek76-2/VanitySearch/tree/main/mod/009
This modification does not use OpenSSL.
Word list BIP-39 is connected. Added inclusion of the BrainWallet algorithm.
Number of words 1-16. Seed can be in HEX format with a length of 128 bits.
You can set an arbitrary seed with the -s option.
Repeat the seed from the one saved earlier in the Result.txt file.
Run cmd: VanitySearch.exe -stop -t 1 -bip39 12 -bits 66 -r 1 13zb1hQbWVsc2S7ZTZnP2G4undNNpdh5so

Puzzle 66: #??
What do we observe here? All colors are unknown. If a color is known, skip these 3 bytes, if a color is unknown, take these 3 bytes and process them on the GPU for an additional 6 bytes within the range of 200000:3fffff.

I'm speechless, truly amazing how some people are capable of turning ideas in to reality.
Can you explain a bit more about the logic you are using in the quote above?
I'm interested to know more about skipping bytes, additional 6 bytes etc. Is there any pattern or any reproducible results if one had to follow your instructions?

[ymgve2]

They are here. You don't have to believe me. it's just that they won't write in their papers that they are directly dealing with solving the Puzzles from this topic. .   

I meant the actual BIG GUNS, not some wannabes, I mean someone like "MinghuaQu" who apparently worked for NSA
And evidence suggest he might be the one generating secp256k1 curve, and I would like to ask him about his selection of N the group order, why this specific value? Why so many leading Fs?
Especially to ask him if he knows that the following keys posses  any unique properties such as some kind of backdoor etc.?

Code:

14551231950b75fc4402da1732fc9bebf
ebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141

Not sure why you think those keys have a backdoor. 14551231950b75fc4402da1732fc9bebf is what you get if you pick (2**256-1) as a private key, which is above the group order, so mod 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141 it becomes 14551231950b75fc4402da1732fc9bebf. Likewise, ebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141 is just the group order with the upper 0xfffffff... removed.

[WanderingPhilospher]

I finally have 2^30.75+ (1,806,000,000) wild kangaroo points stored (offsets of #130s public key). Now it's time to release the tame kangaroos. Hopefully within 2-3 months, I'll have a tame land on a wild trap.
I imagine I am behind the group that found #120 & #125, but maybe luck will be on my side.
Long journey ahead, let's go.

I don't think N was chosen intentionally having such backdoors, but I do think those keys I mentioned could help in solving low range keys only if we know the exact starting/ending range.

Though my fascination about this one  14551231950b75fc4402da1732fc9bebf  is different, because some people might think every key will result in some specific value when divided, but the key above is the evidence of how wrong we could be sometimes. Just like when you divide that by 2^255 mod n, you'd get "2" as the result, of course once you know that, it's not anything interesting, that's why I'm eager to learn more about other similar keys with similar properties.

What makes them different than any other "low" range keys, like for example 0x123456789123456789123456789? How would they help in solving?

[digaran]

What makes them different than any other "low" range keys, like for example 0x123456789123456789123456789? How would they help in solving?

Guess that's the million dollar question, we want to know what sets them apart, what mathematical properties they have when being divided specifically compared to other keys. And if you are asking me about their differences with other keys, means you are also clueless like me and the rest of the world, until of course we find a clue.
It's a bit difficult for me to work behind a desk with a PC, I'm on a bed doing things slowly with a phone.😉

I mean, why do you think these keys are special? Why are you fixated on these keys in particular?

[digaran]

;DLet me see, friends, is there a program that receives a photo file and then analyzes it, i.e. separates objects, people or animals, letters, numbers and colors and then makes a wallet from this information?

Yes, but you will have to wait a few years for it to be coded, since it's a new idea and also very insecure way, but if you already know what each color should represent, either they should represent 1 digit, decimal or hex, in which order? From which side/angle? Top to bottom-Left to right? What kind of algorithm is similar to convert people, animals to numbers and  what should be the factors, who decides  whether a man or woman should  convert to what exactly?
That requires an artificial intelligence with advanced algos, it's not an easy or even useful one to bother.

I mean, why do you think these keys are special? Why are you fixated on these keys in particular?

Ok, when I think about it, I might have mentioned them 10-12 times in total, so I'm not that much fixated, another thing is that when I find things interesting, I share them to see if others can find more things about them or not.

Just a simple example, when you multiply a point by lambda 2 times, you get 3 identical y coordinates, and if you divide or multiply those 3 points by the same scalar, the results will also have identical y coordinates, not to mention beta a1,a2, b1, b2 etc.
So when I share and talk about them, I hope someone who knows more and better to add to the discussion by providing more interesting facts.

Its not vast.ai best optimized for GPU programs? what keyhunt are you talking about?
