Rope.....

   

[AlanJohnson]

Yes. Theoretically, you need at least 1TB. I've never tried more than 60. Anything around 300GB is considered a baby table. I don't have time to wait for a bigger one to be generated.  

Why are you publishing all the scripts from before now?

Because it's a dead end. Game over. There's no point in hiding any more scripts for the puzzles  - whether they're useful or not. For Puzzle 69, you're over 2,500 GPUs. For Puzzle 71, over 3,000.

What are you guys planning to do now ?  Is something similar to bitcoin puzzle out there to hunt ?

Is something similar to bitcoin puzzle out there to hunt ?  

Yes. A few unsolvable puzzles.

[POD5]

Yes, all the Dormants and Satoshi coins...

HOW TO SIGN A TRANSACTION

How to claim your low range BTC reward?

1- Download Electrum and import the key of the 67. (Maybe old version for RBF off)

2- Sign a transaction (dont send/broadcast)

3- Copy tx id (starts with 02 or 01 and too long)

4- Go to https://slipstream.mara.com and paste tx id. Then press “activate” (make sure fee is good)

Done. Your tx doesnt show in mempool and will be included next mined block by mara)

Yes, all the Dormants and Satoshi coins...  

You do realize that this is still guessing 256bit private keys , right ?

Or do you perhaps plan to run a quantum computer emulator written in python ?

Try to see deeper, even if you was eaten by somebody, you have at least two ways:)
First decision - Increase speed of brooteforcing twice from present speed. And amount of GPU will be less than you think.
Second decision - Invest more for GPU rent or just buy dozens of rtx5090. After success or fail you will sell this stuff.
My opinion, that this is only fun game with money prize, not more. This is a brain massage, not more, for me:)

Do you realize how many GPU's you need right now to solve anything here ?  You will sell then in case of fail ?  Where you can sell like 1000 used GPU's ?  And how much you will lose at that transaction ??

I need a "brain massage" after such a clever advice.

Come on guys, get over yourselves.

Bram has GPU power over 2200+, that's true.

But right now they need to make a correct calculation by agreeing with their partners.

Reasons;
For Wallet 69,
- Calculating how long it will take in its own system - (Rand + seq + warehouse)
- It will take maybe 2 months, which will cost it around 350-450 thousand dollars. (The part that depends on luck.)

The real question is, what if it can't solve it in 2 months?

He will spend the money he received from Wallets 67 and 68. Then he will be on bad terms with the people who invested.

Now, Bram (KOWALA) and his partners;

Would they take this risk? - I know you don't like gambling.

It's not important if he (or his "partners") will continue on this.  The problem is that an average person here don't have even 100 GPU's. 

Currently we are in a point where you can use massive power and be sure it's a matter of short time to solve anything  or ...   you can run it as a lottery on rasppery pi or  1-core celeron  cause it dosen't make any difference if you have 32 core cpu or 1 core cpu (in the second case you will for sure not find anything but at least you will not waste any money and electricity).

I’m running the numbers today.
Also, I give the money back to investors after each puzzle. They decide if they want to come back each time.
We go only if we have a nice safety margin.

"I'm running the numbers today." I don't get it?
69. Wallet? 140. Wallet?

If you're paying back investors. Are you doing this to prove it?

Have you done the math for 69. Wallet? Is it worth the risk?

Are we back in time?
Did I just enter 2025?

The events you mentioned were already done a long time ago and years have passed.

It may make sense to buy a lottery ticket. The numerical combination, for example, is like 1 chance in 1 quadrillion.

But what is your goal with the processor or free lottery system you made?
After the puzzles are finished, is it to target Satoshi's wallets?
I have been hearing a lot about the event you mentioned lately and people are full of people who want to sell it for $20. I hope your programs are free.

Hi, I’ve seen a lot of discussion in this thread about address and hash160 prefixes. However, it seems that none of the prefixes related to puzzle 68 come even close to 'bebb...'. Do you think this idea has been debunked?

My point is :  To solve any remaining puzzle you need MASSIVE amount of hashing power (and i mean MASSIVE like thousands of GPUS).

Trying to search can be done on almost anything but the chances are almost ZERO if you are weaker than certain point of computational power... so there is no point to struggle  if you are below that point.

Why burn watts when you can harness Mother Nature? I’ve got a windmill powering a Raspberry Pi strapped to a seagull. Every time it flaps, that’s a hash. And if the seagull dives into the sea, I use a fishing rod, toss it into the ocean, and let the wind and fish solve the puzzle. Every time a fish bites, it's a new private key attempt. If nothing bites, at least you might catch dinner. Sustainable computing, baby! Solving Bitcoin puzzles with renewable energy and sushi. That’s a full brute-force sweep! Fish swim in binary, right? We just need to decode their wiggles. Solving Bitcoin puzzles, one gust and guppy at a time.

Today, I’m checking if 69 is profitable enough to start working on it.
I will announce the decision publicly.

Of course I’m paying investors, I just keep an organisation fee.

I’m not going for 135 (already RC on it) or 140 (out of reach for profitability)

That's an awful lot of wasted energy. Just one hash? An RTX 4090 can do smth like 16 million hashes per a single joule.

Since I am, like everyone else around here, an expert in arctic wild life, let's clear things up.

Estimating the Energy Needed for a Penguin’s Single Wing Flap

Introduction:
To roughly estimate the energy required for a penguin to flap one wing once, we can use a simplified physical model. In this model, we treat one wing as a rigid rod rotating about an axis at the shoulder. The energy needed to accelerate this wing is given by the rotational kinetic energy formula:

Code:

E_rot = (1/2) * I * ω²

where:

I is the moment of inertia of the wing,

ω is the final angular velocity.

1. Estimating the Parameters

For a medium-sized penguin, we can assume:

• Mass of the wing: Approximately 0.2 kilograms.
  
• Length of the wing: About 0.3 meters.
  
• Moment of Inertia: Approximating the wing as a rod rotating about one end, the moment of inertia is estimated as:
  
  

Code:

I ≈ (1/3) * m * L² ≈ (1/3) * 0.2 * (0.3)² ≈ 0.006 kg·m²

• Angular Displacement and Time: Suppose the wing moves through an angle of 90° (approximately 1.57 radians) in about 0.2 seconds. The average angular velocity is then:
  
  
  Code:

  ω ≈ 1.57 / 0.2 ≈ 7.85 rad/s

  
  2. Calculating the Rotational Energy
  
  Plugging the estimated values into the formula:
  
  
  Code:

  E_rot ≈ (1/2) * 0.006 * (7.85)²

  
  Carrying out the calculation:
  *² ≈ 61.6
  • Thus, E_rot ≈ 0.5 * 0.006 * 61.6 ≈ 0.1848 Joules (approximately 0.2 Joules)
  This value represents the mechanical energy needed to accelerate the wing, without considering energy losses such as friction, air resistance, or the biological inefficiencies in converting metabolic energy to mechanical work.
  
  3. Accounting for Muscle Efficiency
  
  Since muscle efficiency in converting metabolic energy to mechanical work is typically around 20–25%, the actual metabolic energy required could be significantly higher. Assuming an efficiency of about 25%:
  
  
  Code:

  Metabolic Energy ≈ 0.2 J / 0.25 ≈ 0.8 J

  
  4. Conclusion
  
  In this simplified model, a medium-sized penguin might require roughly between 0.2 Joules (the calculated mechanical energy) and 1 Joule (when accounting for inefficiencies) for one wing flap. Note that these calculations are based on several approximations. The actual energy could vary with the wing’s mass, flap speed, angular range, and muscle efficiency. Also, while penguins use their wings in a “flying” motion underwater, the dynamics in water differ from those in air.
  
  LE: oh shit, my bad. I confused seagulls with penguins. Guess we need experts from that area to redo all the calculations. Or you might be right. Still, I'd wire up the windmill to an RTX card rather than to a Pi. Free energy + high tech

4. Conclusion

New day, new puzzle, same approach

Max out on dumb luck and go eccentric!

I bind the hex chars to an old keyboard, grabbed some cat treats, and didn’t feed my cat this morning Let’s see what happens!

The last ~4 puzzles weren’t solved by the community, they were cracked by individuals with capital.
This one? It’ll be different!

Do you know why?
Just because this puzzle’s # has a ring to it 69

@everyone  - Do your magic, spend those joules, statistics, probabilities, random bit flipping, pattern madness... good luck!
