I use -k 3250 on my main rig but your results may vary

How much RAM do you have?

DOES ANY ONE HAVE KEY FOR ANY OF THESE SOLVED ADDRESSES
~

Why would you want the empty private keys unless you wanted to analyze their distribution in the range (since the private keys are random numbers that are generated in a range)?

[NotATether]

I can send you a tip if you have a private key for any of these

These are the addresses for #161-256.

If you look carefully at https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/5d45587cfd1d5b0fb826805541da7d94c61fe432259e68ee26f4a04544384164 you will see that the owner has moved the balances in these addresses to #53-#160 respectively.

Some of these private keys have already been found, namely: 53 to 63, 65, 70, 75 ... up to 115 and zielar has listed them in his thread.

Hi guys,

In continuation to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1305887.0

While playing around with my bot, I found out this mysterious transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/08389f34c98c606322740c0be6a7125d9860bb8d5cb182c02f98461e5fa6cd15

those 32.896 BTC were sent to multiple addresses, all the private keys of those addresses seem to be generated by some kind of formula.

For example:

Address 2:

KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M7rFU74sHUHy8S
1CUNEBjYrCn2y1SdiUMohaKUi4wpP326Lb

1ErZWg5cFCe4Vw5BzgfzB74VNLaXEiEkhk
Biginteger PVK value: 10544
Hex PVK value: 2930

and so on...

until the addresses 50 (1MEzite4ReNuWaL5Ds17ePKt2dCxWEofwk) it was already cracked by someone.

Any ideas what's the formula behind the generation of these addresses?

Address 2, pvk decimal value: 3
Address 3, pvk decimal value: 7
Address 4, pvk decimal value: 8
Address 5, pvk decimal value: 21
Address 6, pvk decimal value: 49
Address 7, pvk decimal value: 76
Address 8, pvk decimal value: 224
Address 9, pvk decimal value: 467
Address 10, pvk decimal value: 514
Address 11, pvk decimal value: 1155
Address 12, pvk decimal value: 2683
Address 13, pvk decimal value: 5216
Address 14, pvk decimal value: 10544
Address 15 and after, pvk decimal value: ?

The prize would be ~32 BTC

I do not believe, this is a scam nothing is easy, a huge amount of money can hit our greed to carry out their scam, you need to think transparently because I it's definitely one of the scams or this is one of a number of unusual transactions possibly money laundering or some kind of insider trading. I recommend staying away from scammers and chances are when you join they will make you pay part of the fee and then evaporate with the money you joined.

And who reports these keys? do all hackers share private keys?
 I mean, is it really possible that all those who hacked the keys will necessarily put them in the public access?



I just don't understand really all hacked private keys were necessarily posted in public access? for example, if I hacked a private key, it's not a fact that I would have posted it. It feels like the creator of the puzzle is "hacking" his own keys

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

There is simply no such address in the puzzle from which the funds were withdrawn, but the private key would not be known. Because if someone finds an algorithm for finding the next bit, then in a very fast time this algorithm is used by others and the private key becomes generally known. For this, this puzzle was created, in order to identify the current possibility, both technical and algorithmic, for the possibility of opening a wallet with a certain bin of the private key.

Why not publish the private key from the address you have opened from this puzzle? We are not talking about other addresses, but about the addresses from the puzzle. What is the point of keeping it a secret if you have already withdrawn all funds from it?

You want to say that, for example, if I have my own successful algorithm for finding a private key, then after some time someone else will also come up with my algorithm, and will also pick up a private key to an already empty address from which I will withdraw money (because I am the first). Right?
And I also don't understand the moment: why in the puzzle the last addresses are hacked with gaps in 4 unsolved:

Maybe I don't want to burn my ip on the forum, and for everyone to know that I hacked it?

If you do not understand why every 5th is open. Then you need to learn this topic from scratch.
But in a nutshell, then when we hit the ceiling of 60-64 bits. The creator of the puzzle specially made a small transaction from every fifth address, thereby opening public keys for these addresses for public access. A public key search is a completely different search than an address.

You will not show the found private key, someone else will. And if you find a private key from the address, which are still with balances of up to 115 bits. And you withdraw funds from there, then let's say the address will be available to addresses 64,66,67,68,69 bits within 5-10 minutes, because it is supported by low capacities. The 64th generally breaks through in a second if the public key is known from it!

And in general, in a puzzle, not so much chasing a prize, as more "measured by pussy". Who has more power, or who came up with the best algorithm. Some connect 800 processor cores with a terabyte of RAM per system.

OK, thank you very much! I will start studying from the first page of this topic. but it's not easy...

if you see carefully there are some 547 satoshi incoming transactions to these addresses and after a while the funds from these addresses are moved (same to assume someone cracked the privatekey). it could be just a coincidence but if you dig down deeper these 547 satoshi are sent to lots of addresses even to some high value addresses and some of them are getting cracked, funds are moving out briefly after they receive these 547 satoshis. these are the wallets i know of, maybe there could be many. i dont know how but someone is sending these small amounts and somehow how cracking these addresses. this is my assumption. i hope experts here could uncover the mystery.
