Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it

Happy New Year everyone. I only read here but didn’t write anything.

What did I find? I found a number that, if subtracted or added to the public key. Returns the same public key, regardless of whether the private key is large or small. A number was also found that, if subtracted or added to the public key, produces a key that is not on the curve.

I don't know to be honest. Has anyone found this already or not? But I’m still deciding what to do with it next. Because, in my opinion, this is the vulnerability of the curve. I've been working on the puzzle for 2 weeks. So far I've only found this. Sorry for broken English. I wrote through a translator.

Somehow aggressive in your topic here. Or many people simply don’t want someone else to try to hack it. Or, they're just people like that. In general, I understand that the puzzle was created not to try brute force, but to test the elliptic curve itself. In order for you to try to hack it, the public keys were revealed to you.
One could calmly answer that there are a lot of numbers on the curve that it accepts as 0. That there are also numbers that it does not accept at all. I’m not good at it myself, but now I’m reading the documentation and studying it. And one thing I see is that there cannot be a number that she will not accept. But such numbers exist precisely in 256k1; in others I checked there are no such numbers. This means that this error was inherent from the very beginning.
Well, I won’t post the numbers themselves just yet, since there will be a smarter person than me who will just quickly hack everything himself. And if this really poses a threat to the curve, then the disclosure of this information will collapse the entire crypt to 0. But I don’t want to just invest effort, I want to save a little money before that.

New Year's dreams of a rich life.

Just Happy New Year to every one !!!)))

Agreed. Ignore list count increased. Just in time to increase the year count...Happy New Year

Puzzle 130 will not be solved soon, around February 1, 2025

I am running custom BSGS with 128 GB RAM on AMD EPYC

bpfile size ~704 GB
bloom size ~110.47 GB

According to my calculation, it should end sometime in the middle of 2028. And all this if the server does not blink and there is no power outage.

As we kick off another trip around the sun, I wanted to drop also a note to wish you all a fantastic New Year! 🌟 Here's to leaving the craziness of the past year behind and diving headfirst into 2024 with a fresh perspective. May this year bring you tons of laughter, epic moments, and all the good stuff. Whether you're chasing dreams, crushing goals, or just taking it one day at a time – I hope it's a blast! Cheers to new opportunities, new friendships, and all the little victories along the way. Let's make this year one to remember. Happy New Year, everyone! 🥳🎆🎉

How do you know if PubKey prefix = 02?

I think it's a waste of time to guess whether it's 02 or 03 prefix. Whatever the script is, it must pass all the private keys. It is impossible to accelerate this way. It can be filtered, but filtering is not acceleration.

Sorry mate but you don't seem to understand what I asked, read again my post.

HI

I wanted to ask you a question by sending a message but i can't due to i am "newbie", please contact me so we can discuss.
Thanks

Hey Guys i have a question.. well lets say we subtract a target public key puzzle (130) using key subtractor with 1000000000000000000000000000 continuously at some point it movies from the additive inverse to the negative inverse right? are there any ways we could possible know at what point the reset point happened ?

No there is no way to know that, that break ECDSA, any method  to get single bit leak information of the privatekey break the ECDSA.

You can reduce each range 16 times, and then reduce all the results obtained by 16. And so you can go all the way to 0. But the lower you decrease, the more your number of public keys will grow. But 100% them will have 1 working key.
There is another option, a little simpler. Make the G point the 130 range key. Then generate new keys in the 130 range. And then simply subtract 1 from all these keys. If successful, you will get a key in the lower range, and then it’s a matter of little things.

Here are the numbers I found out of boredom.
This is the minimum number
16492674416640
And this is the Maximum
115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584006813618012160
With these numbers, nothing is possible on the curve. Subtraction, multiplication, addition does not work with them. Perhaps they are simply 0 on the curve. If you change the number at the end to +, you get one.

The curve does not accept these numbers at all.

I couldn’t find this information about these numbers at all on the forum. Maybe someone will find this information useful. I have already done everything that came into my head with these numbers.

Subtraction, multiplication, addition.....

This is like the movie Groundhog Day.
About a man reliving the same day over and over and over.
In this case trying to break the ECDSA.

For an unspecified time.

This is another one that remembers the steps and saves it to a file; re-running does not generate new start keys. It extracts them from the file. Save and unload functions were once available in the repository. Kangaroos are not currently available.
No, I will not distribute this version of the program for now. It seems like a lot of work has been done. Thanks also to the farm owners who offer paid access to GPU computing resources. This is starting to annoy me

There is also a division function, installed with the -div command...
In 2020, the beginning of my Kangaroo GPU code was laid, before the start of version 1.0 from Jean Luc.
Where the functions of adding points in the GPU were used in the same way as in the VanitySearch program.
A couple of people said thank you and that’s it. It looks funny.

I have ~90 Ekeys/s in BSGS/keyhunt

I've been tweaking linux for months to get every atom out of Dual CPU configuration.

#RT kernel

Code:

wget -qO - https://dl.xanmod.org/archive.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/xanmod-archive-keyring.gpg
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/xanmod-archive-keyring.gpg] http://deb.xanmod.org releases main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xanmod-release.list
sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt install linux-xanmod-rt-x64v3

Code:

sudo apt install -y tuned tuned-utils tuned-utils-systemtap
sudo tuned-adm profile latency-performance

Code:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

should be performance for all cores

/etc/default/grub

Code:

quiet msr.allow_writes=on nosoftlockup mce=ignore_ce skew_tick=1 clocksource=hpet iommu=soft noresume mitigations=off nmi_watchdog=0

Nvme config (It must be a good Heatsink on Nvme, otherwise it goes over 50 C/I have had white smoke from them more than once.)
/etc/fstab

Code:

ext4 noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro,inode_readahead_blks=0 0 1

AMD EPYC config

Code:

wrmsr -a 0xc0011020 0x4400000000000
wrmsr -a 0xc0011021 0x4000000000040
wrmsr -a 0xc0011022 0x8680000401570000
wrmsr -a 0xc001102b 0x2040cc10

And so on and on....This is only part of it.

I even modify BIOS on Intel boards and even GPU bios.  Until the components burn *from efficiency.
