Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it

I have a question
It is for people who know the Kangaroo program well.

Kangaroo program has a multiple pubkey search feature, but it searches sequentially. that is, key1 key2 key3. It does not search for key2 before key1 is found. Likewise, it does not search for key3 unless key2 is found. I AM GIVING AN EXAMPLE. We have created 500 pubkeys. Is it possible to search all of them at the same time? Is there anyone working on this? can you share?

Only Keyhunt has that option and the speed will halve for each extra key.

I'd like to point out that JLP's kangaroo has a bug regarding multi pubkey.

After saving and reloading the program only the first public key from the input file will be present.

There's a patch to fix that which can be found here:

https://github.com/JeanLucPons/Kangaroo/pull/79/commits/9f92bad8390932e5cd3827608a609b822671ec3a

Once this patch is installed, can multiple Pubkey scans be performed at the same time in the Kangaroo program?
There are algorithm differences, but multiple scanning is possible with Keyhunt bsgs. I think it can happen with Kangaroo, but it needs to be worked on technically

No.

This topic has been discussed a lot in the past.

Like I said, Keyhunt has that option but the speed gets halved for each extra target.

The same would happen with a Kangaroo implementation that can search for multiple targets simultaneously.

If it can search for one key at 4 Gk/s, two keys would be searched in parallel at 2 Gk/s each. And so on.

Does anyone know if keyhunt has a version that supports custom range searches? (bsgs mode, without -b parameter, use -range instead)

Any version, but preferably the last of them. You use instead of -b value, for example -r 349B84B64310000000:349B84B6431A6FFFFF

[casinotester0001]

JLP's kangaroo for example is definitely not fully optimized when it comes to this...

Hi @all.

Testing JLP's kangaroo with an RTX 4090 and getting a speed of 2230 MK/s.

What speeds are you getting? eg. for RTX 3080, RTX 3080Ti, RTX 4080

Thanks for your answers.

It can be done in 1 millisecond if you hit the random seed, believe it or not.

You need to crack random.seed for each Puzzle. Here is example:

puzzle = 30
target = "d39c4704664e1deb76c9331e637564c257d68a08"
lower_range_limit = 2 ** (puzzle - 1)
upper_range_limit = (2 ** puzzle) - 1

start_time = time.time()

for x in range(10000000):
    #Random seed Config
    #constant_prefix = b''  #back to no constant
    constant_prefix = b'yx\xcb\x08\xb70l'
    prefix_length = len(constant_prefix)
    length = 8
    ending_length = length - prefix_length
    ending_bytes = os.urandom(ending_length)
    random_bytes = constant_prefix + ending_bytes
    random.seed(random_bytes)
    dec = random.randint(lower_range_limit, upper_range_limit)
    h160 = ice.privatekey_to_h160(0, True, dec).hex()
    if h160 == target:
        HEX = "%064x" % dec
        caddr = ice.privatekey_to_address(0, True, dec)
        wifc = ice.btc_pvk_to_wif(HEX)
        print(f"Puzzle: {puzzle}")
        print("Bitcoin address Compressed: " + caddr)
        print("Private Key (decimal): " + str(dec))
        print("Private key (wif) Compressed : " + wifc)
        print(f"Random seed: {random_bytes}")
        break

end_time = time.time()
execution_time_ms = (end_time - start_time) * 1000

print("Execution Time (ms):", execution_time_ms)

Random seed search? are you doing? What exactly is this and how does it work? Can you share whether it works for puzzle 66?

[nomachine]

Random seed search? are you doing? What exactly is this and how does it work? Can you share whether it works for puzzle 66?

Every time you request a random number using functions like random.randint(), random.random(), or others from the random module, it generates the next number in the sequence based on the seed value.

ON the smaller puzzles it is easy to guess what the seed is. You need to restart and restart app and you will find out which is the fastest seed by repetition.


I've tried all possible puzzles from 1 to 50 and iterate over possible seed values, set the seed, generate a random number, and check if it matches target number(WIF in decimal). Solved up to 50.

I tried the same method with #65 and I'm getting an approximate number for now.

Start position is constant_prefix = b''  and  if str(dec).startswith('30568')
with which I came to constant_prefix = b'r\xbd\x83\r\xec}'

the script itself generates the additional number of bytes to the required length

The closest I've come up with 9 to 2 ** 65

Code:

import random
import os

lower_range_limit = 18446744073709551615
upper_range_limit = 36893488147419103231

for x in range(10000000000000):
    # Random seed Config
    # constant_prefix = b''  # back to no constant
    constant_prefix = b'r\xbd\x83\r\xec}'
    prefix_length = len(constant_prefix)
    length = 9
    ending_length = length - prefix_length
    ending_bytes = os.urandom(ending_length)
    random_bytes = constant_prefix + ending_bytes
    random.seed(random_bytes)
    dec = random.randint(lower_range_limit, upper_range_limit)
    if str(dec).startswith('3056837731'):
        print(f"{dec} : {random_bytes}")

30568377314984161259 : b'r\xbd\x83\r\xec}\xfc\xbf\xde'


And need to be:

Code:

while True:
    seed = random.getrandbits(161)
    random.seed(seed)
       

What do you guys think, why am I using a 2^161 bit number as a seed here? After a detailed study of all random processes, if the privatekeys are generated through truly random behavior, so the random.seed process to be the best, where we use an integer value as the seed. In this process, I came across a very important point. Suppose we are searching for a 2^66 bit key, then we will need to use atleast 2^67 bit integer as the seed where there are minimum 5 to a maximum of 20 such seeds that will generate the same private key, and if we use a smaller integer than a 2^67 bit number as the seed, then the possibility here will be less than 1%, whereas with a 2^67 bit number the possibility will 5% to 20% more..
Ex below:

Possibilities between 10 digit integer (1000000000,9999999999) as a seed

you can check here with copy paste any integer from above

Code:

import random
while True:
    x = input('seed integer : ')
    seed_value = int(x)
    random.seed(seed_value)
    seed = str(seed_value)
    a = random.randrange(2**29, 2**30)
    random_start = "%00x" % a
    print('Seed : ' + str(x) + ' KHex : ' + str(random_start) + '\n')

Anyone have seen or experience with Bitcrack / fork for load starting points by file ?

Not sure what you are exactly wanting, but the easiest way is to create a Python script to feed the program starting ranges, and to keep track of said starting ranges. Not sure if starting ranges = starting points, but that is what I would do.

How to implement starting points..

Code:

while True:
    seed = random.getrandbits(161)
    random.seed(seed)
       

What do you guys think, why am I using a 2^161 bit number as a seed here? After a detailed study of all random processes, if the privatekeys are generated through truly random behavior, so the random.seed process to be the best, where we use an integer value as the seed. In this process, I came across a very important point. Suppose we are searching for a 2^66 bit key, then we will need to use atleast 2^67 bit integer as the seed where there are minimum 5 to a maximum of 20 such seeds that will generate the same private key, and if we use a smaller integer than a 2^67 bit number as the seed, then the possibility here will be less than 1%, whereas with a 2^67 bit number the possibility will 5% to 20% more..
Ex below:

Possibilities between 10 digit integer (1000000000,9999999999) as a seed

you can check here with copy paste any integer from above

Code:

import random
while True:
    x = input('seed integer : ')
    seed_value = int(x)
    random.seed(seed_value)
    seed = str(seed_value)
    a = random.randrange(2**29, 2**30)
    random_start = "%00x" % a
    print('Seed : ' + str(x) + ' KHex : ' + str(random_start) + '\n')

Anyone have seen or experience with Bitcrack / fork for load starting points by file ?

Not sure what you are exactly wanting, but the easiest way is to create a Python script to feed the program starting ranges, and to keep track of said starting ranges. Not sure if starting ranges = starting points, but that is what I would do.

How to implement starting points..

something like this for his "lucky" python method

    A0 = random.randrange(2 ** (puzzle - 1), (2 ** puzzle) - 1)
    H160 = ice.privatekey_to_h160(0, True, A0)
    if H160 == target_binary:
        HEX = "%064x" % A0;wifc = ice.btc_pvk_to_wif(HEX)

NGL, I do not get the same values when I copy and paste them in your python script.

BUT, your post got me tinkering with seeds. I'm running a test on a 24 bit key (DC2A04). Just letting it run to see how many matches I can get. From 0 up until I get bored lol. A few hundred so far. Highest one is 1477709519, so far.

Code:

import random
exp=30
while True:
    x = input('seed integer : ')
    seed_value = int(x)
    random.seed(seed_value)
    seed = str(seed_value)

    random_start = "%00x" % a
    print('Seed : ' + str(x) + ' KHex : ' + str(random_start) + '\n')

I put "exp" as a variable. If it is 30 for his 70-bit list, then it matches.

I did not use decimal numbers as seeds. I had faster results with a sequence of bytes represented in Python's byte literal format using the function os.urandom(length).

Let's start from the the fact that all puzzles are created from 32 zeros in bytes
b'\x00' * 23 (twenty-three zeroes) + 9 bytes (for Puzzle 66)
or

Code:

b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'

Puzzle 1 have 1 bytes on end that is not zero
Puzzle 10 have 2 bytes on end that is not zero
Puzzle 20 have 3 bytes on end that is not zero
Puzzle 40 have 5 bytes on end that is not zero
Puzzle 50 have 7 bytes on end that is not zero

Code:

Puzzle 66 have 9 bytes on end that is not zero. *(66 bits is equal to 8.25 bytes.)

So, seed for puzzle 66 need to be 9 or 10 lenght in bytes

seed = os.urandom(10)

NGL, I do not get the same values when I copy and paste them in your python script.

I don't know why this script isn't working for you all; it's working fine for me. Anyway, the seed will be a 10-digit number, and there are around 20 or more seeds capable of generating the same 30-bit starting point. I've tried many random and sequential 10-digit numbers as seeds and stored all the data that I've tested. There will be no repeats. Not sure when luck will be on my side

Here's way to do a byte-based search

Code:

import os, secp256k1 as ice
#Puzzle 66 config
start_bytes = bytearray(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff')
end_bytes = bytearray(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff')
target_binary = b'\x20\xd4Zjv%5p\x0c\xe9\xe0\xb2\x16\xe3\x19\x9435\xb8\xa5'
while True:
    random_bytes = os.urandom(9)
    initial_bytes = b'\x00' * 23
    full_bytes = initial_bytes + random_bytes
    if start_bytes <= full_bytes <= end_bytes:
        A0 = int.from_bytes(full_bytes, byteorder='big')
        H160 = ice.privatekey_to_h160(0, True, A0)
        if H160 == target_binary:
            HEX = "%064x" % A0
            wifc = ice.btc_pvk_to_wif(HEX)
            with open("KEYFOUNDKEYFOUND.txt", "a") as f:
                f.write(f'Private key (wif) Compressed : {wifc}\n')
            break

 I have a collection of about 100 useless scripts. Because the problem is speed in Python.
Many cryptographic libraries, including Python secp256k1, expect numerical inputs (integers) for private keys, rather than raw byte sequences. Cryptographic libraries might be faster if they operated directly on bytes rather than converting between bytes and integers.

Relying solely on Python for 66-bit counting is a waste of time. However, if Python is used only to generate the starting or ending points and the rest of the counting is done through GPUs, it could be a more efficient approach. This is what I am trying to achieve.

The price of the private key for Puzzle 66 will be 5 BTC. Any interested miner will soon be able to purchase the private key from me. The dealing will take place in the public domain to eliminate any possibility of fraud. During this period, the creator reserves the right to sweep funds from Puzzle 66.

Good idea.

Yeah, maybe I am doing something wrong lol:

Script copied/used:

Code:

import random
exp=30
while True:
    x = input('seed integer : ')
    seed_value = int(x)
    random.seed(seed_value)
    seed = str(seed_value)
    a = random.randrange(2**(exp-1), 2**exp)
    random_start = "%00x" % a
    print('Seed : ' + str(x) + ' KHex : ' + str(random_start) + '\n')

70 result and 30 result:

Code:

seed integer : 1806955914
Seed : 1806955914 KHex : 2a4dc25a

seed integer : 2052639366
Seed : 2052639366 KHex : 3e6b05ff

Top one is from 70 and second one is from 30. Neither match.

UPDATE: I figured it out. When I was running it in Python 2 IDLE, it did not match. But when I ran it in Python 3 IDLE, it did match. Interesting...

Why search for puzzle 66? Don't you think it's a waste of time?
