Could somebody help me start solving puzzles using power of graphics cards? I have a lot of devices after eth mining and a lot of power.
E.g. devices 12xRadeon RX 580 8192 MB XFX
No.. Cheesy

I will give away 20% of all future finds  Cool

That's what I did, I created a lock with rbf completely disabled and it's not pocibel boot or anything superimposed I said that and everyone here laughed in my face and told me to prove it.. why prove it if I already knew.. lol

Holy cheese and grits and gravy. How many tests have to be ran before people finally get it that disabling RBF is not fool proof?!?! Public tests have been ran a few times, to show that even with RBF off/disabled, a tx can still be changed, diverted to another address.

hotmoney ate up how much forum real estate to say something totally false:

Quote
Non-RBF transactions cannot be modified or replaced.

Geesh.


It seems that the solvers do not disclose the paths they followed, especially for searching addresses without exposed public keys, thus the "Large Bitcoin Collider" does not maintain its course. Nowadays, we only see developers omitting to share their information, as the current era is all about criticizing everything, being rude, and unproductive. Each time, the end draws closer, the day when this post will be buried forever. However, I keep hope in those closed circles, where the few members have a respectful approach to sharing ideas.
The last solver did explain how it was all done.

@wondring_philosopher, did you at least get a donation for inventing the Marapool method, or are we just handing out free genius points these days?  Grin

And seriously, why are people still stuck on RBF like it’s some unsolved mystery? Enable it, disable it—makes zero difference. The last puzzle transaction went through just fine with RBF on, and the funds got swept without a hitch. So, can we please move on? No need for another AI-generated essay to ‘educate’ us—it’s already clearer than a blockchain explorer on a sunny day. Smiley

It's hard to believe that Puzzle 67 was opened by simple enthusiasts and not by the creators themselves, since the pool was often attacked by DDOS and 6,69% of the range was already passed, and since the creators of the puzzles know the private key, they can easily monitor how close the pool participants got, so they could easily take their coins themselves under the guise of someone finding them, so this is most likely a scam than some kind of honest competition. Who wants to give strangers more than half a million dollars, it's unrealistic! Let's think about it. Does anyone doubt that this is how things are or do you think everything is honest?

It was open by me, and I'm not the creator of the puzzle.
Let's put those conspiracy theories to rest.

@Bram24732  Are you truely the finder of #67 , if so may I ask how long did it take to search and what app did you use to search?

I signed several messages on this forum which proves it.

It took 67 days.

I solved 67 and 68 using custom software distributing the load across ~25k GPUs. 4090 stocks speeds : ~8.1Bkeys/sec. Don’t challenge me technically if you know shit about fuck, I’ll ignore you. Same goes if all you can do is LLM reply.

I think the same as you because no one would give away nearly 1000 btc without getting any profit

Full random yes.
I don't wan't to be disrespectful to anyone, but most of the theories I see here about patterns look crazy to me.
The ONLY way I could see a pattern between puzzles is if the creator messed up the randomess (unsecure RNG, predictable seed choice, etc...) and I really don't think he would make such a mistake.

Did you have plan to give a tip for @Wandering philosoper? He the guy research and publish how to avoid bots with maraslipstream.. I hope you did it.

Let me see if I understand this far. This puzzle is almost 10 years old and no one has solved it yet? Ah, I'm going to dedicate myself, I'm going to fry my brains out, but I'm going to solve this puzzle, I not only want, but I really need these 32 bitcoins

Several thousand

Can't see how one would have made profit out of that. Was it just for kicks, RetiredCoder style? Throw away hundreds of thousands on a problem without caring much if it all gets lost or not...

Or maybe I don't know where to look to get my hands on several thousand RTX 4090 that cost something like 5 cents an hour.

An optimized CUDA kernel that targets some specific hash can do well above 7 Gkeys/s on a 4090, I guess that means only around 1000 GPUs would have been required.

Bold of you to assume the puzzle hasn’t already solved us in the process.  Grin

I have only ~ 3Gkeys on Vanbitcracken + 4090, how 7?
Bitcrack is very old and i have only ~500-600 mkeys

Huge respect for WP, I think his tutorial is great for education purposes.
But a tip for a tutorial on how to sign a tx offline and paste it on a webpage is a little too much to ask Smiley Especially since I didn't even see it until a couple days ago.

Not only for this tutorial on how to sign a tx offline, but his effort and his willing to share his experiment to this community. I believe no one here hear about this method until @Wandering research all way until found best method to prevent reward stealth by bots.. I think he don't want tips too, but everyone who give big contribution to this communities should get appreciate for their contribution. Any way is back to you is just my opinion. cheers

Do whatever you want—it’s your money. But let’s not downplay a groundbreaking invention by calling it ‘just a tutorial.’ It has re-energized many of us. If I were in your place, I’d definitely remember him in my success, even if it was just a small token of appreciation. Anyway, best of luck with Puzzle 68! Now that you have both money and resources, the rich get richer while the poor stay poor. We’re just here as the audience, stuck in watch-only mode. Grin

I don't think anyone had heard of the MARA service if @wp hadn't discovered it. I believe you're undervaluing their valuable contribution. It's important to highlight and give credit to those who deserve it, as their contribution opened new perspectives and solutions.
