happy birthday,

Thanks Mostly, I work on puzzle 66, but today, being a special day, I was trying some of my old scripts, among which was a batch (.bat) file that I occasionally run. Today, When I executed it, I saw something like

Start:2C15823997A13A9000000000000000000
Stop :2C15823997A13A9FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Keys :1

Done: Total time 02:37

Which made me quite happy. However, this joy was short-lived because the batch file was originally created to check some sample public keys during an experiment, Following this realization I felt quite disheartened in that sorrow, I typed the above message.

Hello and happy birthday!!
Are you using kangaroo in puzzle 66 that does not have the public key available?

You have 0.1 btc Cheer up!, that amount changes the lives of many.

I am the creator.

You are quite right, 161-256 are silly.  I honestly just did not think of this.  What is especially embarrassing, is this did not occur to me once, in two years.  By way of excuse, I was not really thinking much about the puzzle at all.

I will make up for two years of stupidity.  I will spend from 161-256 to the unsolved parts, as you suggest.  In addition, I intend to add further funds.  My aim is to boost the density by a factor of 10, from 0.001*length(key) to 0.01*length(key).  Probably in the next few weeks.  At any rate, when I next have an extended period of quiet and calm, to construct the new transaction carefully.

A few words about the puzzle.  There is no pattern.  It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty).  It is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community.

Finally, I wish to express appreciation of the efforts of all developers of new cracking tools and technology.  The "large bitcoin collider" is especially innovative and interesting!

I need some fund to continue for my discoveries and projects, or else I'll have to abandon these endeavors entirely. It's quite distressing for me, but I've been left with no choice. The creator's support would mean the world to me as I strive to keep my work alive. As you mentioned, "it is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community." However, if all members of the community continue to leave their tasks incomplete due to constraints, your measuring instrument will repeatedly break. Please understand that in this community, 99% of members may have limited strength, but they put in a tremendous amount of effort. Anyways... Today is my birthday

My man! Hope you had a great birthday, day!

Keep on grinding!

It is not possible for everyone to be called the grandfather of Bitcoin, because it is for very talented people that is why not everyone can give the grandfather of Bitcoin.  So ~32 BTC will be rewarded if this Bitcoin Dada can be solved.

If you think about it, these puzzles are very simple, Satoshi hides a needle in a haystack and the only thing we do here is see what is the best way to find that needle.
Nothing prevents the least talented of mortals from, by chance, ending up with the needle stuck in their butt.

Hello everyone.

I need a Python script that would check two text files, and if the text in the lines matches, then the script would write “Match found” and write the matching text to a new file. If there is no match, then it would write “No matches found.”

Can anyone help?

I write it in my native language...

def encontrar_coincidencias(archivo1, archivo2, archivo_salida):

        lineas2 = f2.readlines()
       
        coincidencias = False
       
        for linea1, linea2 in zip(lineas1, lineas2):
            if linea1.strip() == linea2.strip():
                coincidencias = True
                output_file.write(linea1)
       
        if coincidencias:
            print("Coincidencia encontrada")
        else:
            print("No se encontraron coincidencias")

# Llamada a la función con los archivos de entrada y salida

Code:

comm -12 <(sort "$1") <(sort "$2")

or

Code:

# command line parameters:
# $1 input: file with patterns to search for
# $2 input: file in which you search for patterns
# $3 output: file to which put found matches

grep -a -Ff "$1" "$2" > "$3"

Hello everyone!
I have a simple question about the power of gpu cards and the time to crack the puzzle 66

What is the actual cracking speed of Rtx 4090(Doesn't matter if bitcrack kangaroo or vanity) the faster one will be the better.

I want to calculate if i get 30x Rtx4090 How many days or months do i need to crack p66?

Hundreds of years.
Once you crack it you'll want to spend it, so you'll have to disclose the public key over the network.
Once everyone sees the public key and knows it has a 66-bit private key, they will crack the private key in
a few seconds at most and double spend, making your efforts completely futile.
So I guess the reward for ruining a lots of hardware and paying for the power goes straight to zero, since everyone will fight to double spend, making the fee higher and higher and the net profit going to zero.

One RTX 4090 on Linux gets 3 GH/s, that is ~3000 MH/s. I am talking here about BitCrack. If you have 12x RTX 4090 (as some machines on vast.ai) you can make linear multiply by 12. That is ~36 GH/s.

Time taken to whole its space is months or years. If you want to go through all possible private keys in the puzzle 66 range.

Even miners which have several 4090 will not switch from mining to cracking puzzle 66. It is higher cost.

So all the bitcoins that are from 66 bits to 160 bits have no financial value?

[citb0in]

that's not what he said. But the lower bits puzzles like #66 is cracked within seconds as soon as the public key is revealed. If you succeed in cracking #130 you're safe and can payout your reward without fearing that anyone else double-spend your effort

Maybe disabling RBF would be a start, and using a high fee.

[pbies]

Yep, that's the solution. It is one-time try only.

[albert0bsd]

Maybe disabling RBF would be a start, and using a high fee.

That is currenly useless, even disabling that flag in your transactions, it still can be replaced due Nodes configurations.

[mcdouglasx]

That is currenly useless, even disabling that flag in your transactions, it still can be replaced due Nodes configurations.

So we are in a big problem, there should be standard rules for all nodes so that rbf makes sense and is optional and not permanent.
but I don't think the rules will be changed for the puzzles.

[aminsolhi]

I still don't understand, by whom it will be broken, I also wrote software and I am searching randomly.



What should we do to transfer, add the private key in online wallets and go to the transfer form, use phone apps, which wallet software should we use to withdraw the balance, or write a program for the Bitcoin transfer form or  Should we add its in Bitcoin core???
