Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it

[gians82]

Hello,

How do you know that the private key for puzzle 68 starts with E0?

It could be that it starts with the letter E

The Cyclone program works well:

Is showing off your cyclone every day useful for solving problems?Let's study the GPU carefully.

Solving problem is not based these app
Solving problem required math, and proper apply inside these app

I will release an optimized version of the program during the day. After that, I will optimize sha256_avx2.cpp and ripemd160_avx2.cpp as well. Then, I will optimize SECP256K1.

This is just the beginning. It will never run as fast as a GPU, but on a 128-core CPU with AVX-512 and Clang, it will come very close.

Can you make a GPU version right away, or is it pointless? I don't have a 128-core CPU—that's science fiction to me.

Who knows how long this will take, maybe months, depending on my available time. For now, I’ve kept the scalar implementation because the ModSub operation is non-trivial to vectorize, and the primary bottleneck is likely elsewhere (probably in the hash computations). My plan is to modify the Int class to support SIMD operations and then carefully implement modular arithmetic for SECP256K1 using SIMD.

RTX 4090

Keep your fantasies for your wallet. An RTX 4090 feels like science fiction to me too. We need a budget-friendly script—something optimized for a more affordable setup. It shouldn't require a 128-core CPU, but it also shouldn't be tailored specifically for an RTX 4090 GPU.

And if possible, don’t move from your comfortable chair and have everything served on a plate. I know.

So it costs you less to compute same amount of hashes using more power (like, 6 to 7 times more)?
You're basically saying that electricity is less expensive if it powers a CPU. Or that it's more expensive if it powers a GPU. I wonder what your power provider has to say about that.

You can find the science-fiction movie on vast.ai, if you actually want more bangs for a buck, no need to empty your wallet on buying an expensive device and etc. I don't even own a desktop computer anymore. The wallet will empty anyway once your home's energy bill comes out.

pure coincidence, for me the key is in the E range

Optimized version is there. Good luck.

All of you with your massive GPU farms trying to brute-force the key! May I introduce you to your biggest competitor: the LuckyForcer — an ESP32-based "brute" forcer, crypto price ticker, and clock! It delivers a staggering 42 keys random per second and even features a web interface and Home Assistant integration!

If I’m going to have a little clock on my desk, it better be doing something useful too

Can I write you a private message? I wanted to ask something

You can find the science-fiction movie on vast.ai, if you actually want more bangs for a buck, no need to empty your wallet on buying an expensive device and etc. I don't even own a desktop computer anymore. The wallet will empty anyway once your home's energy bill comes out.

Again with your biased opinions, you always assume too much. There are many countries with abundant resources where electricity hovers around $0.05 per kWh, so generalizing and assuming that everyone here is from a country where electricity is a problem is a huge bias, considering there are people from all over the world here.

That's not what I said. The fact that a GPU computes a magnitude of order more hashes/s than an equivalent amount of CPUs, for the same power consumption on both options, is not a personal opinion, or bias as you call it. The price/kWH is irrelevant for this comparison. It's the same reason why no one mines BTC using a GPU anymore, because ASICs are tons more efficient than a GPU, just like a GPU is tons more efficient than a CPU. No one says you can't mine BTC with a CPU, GPU, or even on a napkin if you're fast enough, though good luck with all of those.
