Solving problems requires down to Earth solutions.
Down to Earth solutions require computations.
Computations require electricity, not zero-point free energy.
Electricity costs money.

So there is nothing wrong about needing money to solve a problem, otherwise the solution will only be found while dreaming away, not on down to Earth problem solving skills.

The 2 people solved problems. You didn't, and are just throwing shit on them because of frustration and conspiracy theories. They are both much smarter than you and me. What more is to say? Nothing really. Also, are you bored, I thought you're busy finding prefixes, not rambling on a forum against someone who doesn't even care if you actually succeed or not.

And to answer your question: I'm seeking knowledge. But definitely not from someone who doesn't know how to hash a public key, but claims he broke cryptography.

The $1000 also included the local connection fee and of $2 a day and the 10 rigs had CPUs, ram, SSDs, fans, psu not 100% efficient and other house power usage so probably more like $800. But yes our power is a rip. But if you wanted to set up 256 GPUs like you say you would need all these things.

You also have the possibility that someone will beat you to Key.

And your numbers are off as you could check like 80-90% of the keys before you get the right one and in that case its like 5 years lol

6800000000(hash) * 60(secs) * 60(mins) * 24(hours) * 256(gpus) * 2000(days) = 3.0e+20

3.0e+20 with no down time, no blowen up gpus, no issues, no cleaning.

2.9e+20 all possible keys checked

After 5 years odds are half them GPUS be up in smoke too  Grin

You do not have to tell me about what goes in to mining. At the height of it, I had more than triple the amount of cards you had. I never had a rig with less than 13 GPUs on it, so mine was probably a lot cheaper to set up as far as mobo, cpu, RAM, etc.

As for you telling me my numbers are way off, I will not play shoulda coulda woulda word salads with you.

I am basing my numbers off of the average. The last 2 keys found were at 52% and 57%, the average says around 50%, but I even went with the higher of the 2 previous keys found.
Why won't I play your word games lol, because the key could be found at .5%, 1%, 10%, etc. which would make it way cheaper.
So let's stick to factual numbers based off of something or we could play forum tag all day.

If I am renting, I do not care if the GPUs go up in smoke. But if they were mine, they wouldn't, or very few might. I have cards that I've owned over 6 years that still work. You actually have to take care of them, clean them, and keep them cool. I only lost one card, an AMD, because I bricked it trying to flash the BIOS. That was it. And that is also why I went all in on Team Green and got away from Red.

Bram = Someone who is part of a team, I still have doubts about him being a team member. Because he may have requested these signing events from his team. Also, this team has made serious investments for this business.
He does not have any software that reaches more speed.

So you doubt someone, even after you threw fits because someone doubted you lol.
There are several versions out there that get more BK/s than some public version you are using.
I have one, it gets 7.1 BK/s, one of the public pool has one that is equal or better than mine (sign up and run a range, it's easy as that to verify for yourself). So I have no doubts there are faster versions out there, including Bram's.

I don't think what you are looking for is information.

1- You are here to satisfy your EGO and ease your psychology of meddling in everything.

2- You are thinking of selling a few things from those who find wallets.

You can answer the topics you want to get information about.

Now, without making yourself look small, keep your "KNOW-IT-ALL, COOL, LONG" bla bla articles to yourself. The person who wants to get information from you will write you privately. Like they wrote to me. lol

Edit:

So you doubt someone, even after you threw fits because someone doubted you lol.
There are several versions out there that get more BK/s than some public version you are using.

Did you say he had a crisis?
I'm laughing.
He apologized. He realized his mistake, he's still showing off. lol

Now the answer to your other question
Pools are not safe. Like the TTD Sales example. You can learn the details from Zielar.
I like the VanitySearch I use. I said I'm not a software developer. I couldn't find a software that you can set your own range in a better Bitcrack format.

Why don't you do it?

As for Bram, I'll say it again.

I don't think Bram is KOWALA. Maybe he's one of those who support him financially. Bram knows the truth.
Note: KOWALA is the person who does this job.

I wrote it before. The CREATOR's words: "A tool to measure the breaking power of society. LBC (Large Bitcoin Collider) is a really great project" he said these.

But no one can be trusted here. Except for the top level people.

The people messaging you privately are just noobs who got their hands on a 68-bit key and thought they were onto something—until reality hit. They quickly realized the number was too large to brute-force, got frustrated, and then stumbled upon a post mentioning some so-called prefixes in the same bit range. That gave them false hope—hope that, in reality, is nothing.

Here’s what they don’t understand (and neither do you): Generating a compressed Bitcoin address from a private key is no joke. The process involves several irreversible cryptographic transformations—first, the private key is multiplied by the secp256k1 elliptic curve generator point to derive the public key. Then, the public key undergoes SHA-256 hashing, followed by RIPEMD-160, reducing it to a 160-bit identifier. Finally, a checksum is added, and it’s encoded into Base58 to produce the final Bitcoin address.

Now, let’s talk about breaking this. Reversing even one step of this process is computationally infeasible. That’s why trying to manipulate prefixes or chase random bit patterns won’t get anyone closer to solving the riddle. The difficulty isn’t just about the 68-bit key size, it’s the entire cryptographic structure that makes it practically impossible.

So, instead of spreading baseless theories, bring some actual proof or mathematical reasoning before making claims.

We are one and the same person Smiley If me signing from 67 winning wallet is not enough proof for you idk what to tell you Smiley

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.

Read it thoroughly, read it in detail, memorize it very well. Answer like that.

No one claimed to break or reverse anything.
He did not say that it was a PATTERN.
Similarly, he did not say an increase or decrease.

Where did you read these? lol


I don't think Bram is KOWALA.

We are one and the same person Smiley If me signing from 67 winning wallet is not enough proof for you idk what to tell you Smiley

So when we told you something you shared on Twitter, why did you say it was someone from the team?

It was KOWALA who shared it. Then it was deleted.

I do not care who you trust or do not trust, or if you believe in Bram or Santa Clause. You doubt that there is faster software out there. That is my only point.

Just because there is not one publicly, or because you cannot make tweaks to the one you use, does not mean they do not exist. They do. I have one. Others have other ones. And I was not referring to TTD.

You ask why don't I do it, do what? I have my own version, it does 7.1 BK/s on a single 4090. Another pool has one that does the same or better. Heed your own words, do not doubt because you can't do something or haven't seen something.

Don't you understand?
I am not a programmer.

Did you share your work?
Did someone else share a faster software? I didn't see it.

I said that there is no software that is open to everyone.

You have it, someone else has it. Does it benefit me? Does it benefit anyone else? Answer - NO.

KOWALA has high hardware. He teamed up with a few people. He cracked the 68th wallet. (Congratulations.) Did he prove that his software is very fast? Did he show his software to anyone? Does it benefit you or anyone else? Answer - NO.

What do you think? lol
Someone says I will crack SHA256, Hash160.
Someone else says "just looking for information".
You say that my hardware is faster.

I don't care about these things.
I made a spaceship. Smiley

Would you believe it?
Or would you look at it with suspicion?

You have issues. Let me clarify a few things...

1. I'm not selling anything.
2. I never asked for donations.
3. I never received donations, even though I was offered. By a reputable member nevertheless - he might be the guy who wrote some of the software you use.
4. Did you ever see any BTC address of mine in any signatures? You are delusional.
5. I never promoted any websites in my sig or avatar, or posts.
6. I don't do any of 1..5 because I have no need for that.
7. The forum is for exchanging knowledge, not your personal prefix blog.
8. Everyone basically either ignores you already (directly / indirectly) or only watches in silence (and maybe with some popcorn) how you are continually showing off exceptional skills.
9. I am happy that you use DMs for your secret society information exchange. Can you keep it that way, please?

Thanks.

You might have misread, or I might have expressed myself poorly, idk.
That twitter thing was someone external to the BTC67 team, who I know from other stuff and was making a joke.
But anyway I don't think it matters much if you do or don't beleive Kowala is my twitter account. Just like finding a first prefix in a range, it has no consequence on the future Wink

You said your purpose was to get information. I have nothing to give you.
A forum is for exchanging information. When someone else writes something, you reply.
If you don't like the answer I give, you can ignore it.
There's been more than 20 pages of garbage.

I'd appreciate it if you don't get involved in my conversations with someone else.
You apologized, that's enough for me. lol

Thanks.

It doesn't matter if you are KOWALA or not.
67. If you broke the wallet, congratulations.
I look at everything without proof with suspicion like (KTimesG). Like the Sha256.Publickey incident.
I guess people's feelings are like this.

I respect everyone's comments and efforts.
(I just don't like people who are arrogant, cool, and have an EGO.)

I wish you continued success.
I just have a question for you.
Is the same team continuing?

You're talking nonsense. AVX2 can indeed speed up SHA256 and Hash160 implementations by processing multiple blocks in parallel or vectorizing the arithmetic operations within the rounds. However, "cracking" SHA256 and Hash160 would require breaking its cryptographic security, which is not feasible with current technology, even with AVX2 optimizations. The speedup would only make hashing faster, not weaker. even if AVX2 processes 8 SHA256 instances in parallel, cracking a 160-bit hash (Hash160) would still require ~2¹⁶⁰ operations.  Grin
