Send me PM pls. I can share 1 WVs if u share too. This of course doesn't make sense lol

Already sent you a private message ,  exchange 1  private key of  13zb1hQbWVs*********      ( 0x20000000000000000 ~ 0x40000000000000000   )

The address is  the private key of 13zb1hQbWVsSAaNvpKfmc43NsuAj33LyRM

This is for reference only, I will give up on searching from ranges around 11 char  #66

 #4822

========================================================================================
I spent over a year searching for #66 and even made a Nvidia Kernel to shuffle using nvcc and OpenSSL-Win64.
I have abandoned the search due to the withdrawal front runners and have been selling all my RTX GPUs anyway.
Let me show you something, if focus only on puzzles divisible by 6:

#Puzzle privkeys in binary
110001                           #6
101001 111011                        #12
110000 100000 001101                    #18
110111 000010 101000 000100               #24
111101 100101 001100 110101 100100             #30
100111 011110 100000 100000 101001 111100           #36
101010 001000 100001 110001 011000 110110 001111       #42
101011 011110 011011 010111 110011 100011 101110 011011     #48
100011 011011 111011 011011 010101 101011 010001 111101 000011    #54
111111 000000 011110 100001 100000 100101 001101 100111 101110 111110     #60
patrn1 patrn2 patrn3 patrn4 patrn5 patrn6 patrn7 patrn8 patrn9 patrn10 patrn11   #66
101100 111000 000000 101110 110010 000100 110110 101001 000100 010111 000111 000111 101000 010110 111111     #90

the above puzzle solutions could all be derived shuffling the below pool of patterns:
"101001", "111011", "110111", "000010", "101000", "000100", "011110", "111100", "101011", "011011", "010111",
"110011", "100011", "111111", "000000", "100001", "100000", "100101", "001101", "100111", "101110", "111110",
"110101", "110001", "111101", "001100", "100100", "101100", "111000", "110010", "110110", "000111", "010110",
"110000", "101010", "001000", "011000", "001111", "010101", "010001", "000011"

however some patterns are missing, below is the full pool of 64 patterns,
we can be confident that #66 can be solved by stringing the correct 11 patterns below together:
also understand that #72 can be solved by stringing the correct 12 patterns below together and #78 can be solved with
the correct 13 patterns etc.

"000001", "000011", "000111", "001000", "010101", "110001", "100110", "111000", "111010", "100000", "100100",
"101001", "111011", "101000", "110000", "001100", "011110", "010011", "101110", "110010", "001101", "101011",
"101101", "000000", "111101", "110111", "010010", "100101", "100111", "110011", "110101", "101010", "001001",

The actual #66 is probably something like this:

I'll share this as maybe it can help someone:

======================================================

after all you all try all way, brute force, kangaroo tables, pattern, you will find 66 key, where already  some persons, found 66 key, and their last subject now a days is how to make safe tx for coin transfer, where key founders stuck,  and only i have experience for cross this stage, its easy, dont ask me how, just do hand on practice at small TX, or come to me share coins, for cross this stage

WTF? You are showing a pattern in the ASCII values of the characters 0 to 9.

Sure there is a pattern in there, since they are consecutive values starting from '0' to '9'.

So your pattern is just the ASCII offset for character '0', which is 0x30, e.g. '0011 0000' in binary up to '0011 1001'.

Hence your "pattern".

There's simply no feasible way to withdraw the funds on lower end puzzles like #66. It will be snatched up by bots. Not maybe, but it's 100% guaranteed. There will be hundreds of withdrawal transactions with varying fees all battling each other. You will simply be left in the dust.

It's a fundamental flaw in this puzzle that was originally aimed to bring the community together and try to solve the puzzle. The puzzle creator did not think much about the puzzle, and this is proof of it.

The only way the original solver will get the funds of puzzle #66 is if they can prove to be in possession of the private keys directly to the puzzle creator. The puzzle creator then withdraws the funds at a 6BTC fee (they can afford it) to your address.

The goal of the puzzles is to demonstrate the strength of bitcoin and so far it has more than proven that.
I don't think the creator cares about the method by which the private key is obtained, whether it's years of brute force, whether it's discovering a pattern or through social engineering, the owner of the private key is the owner of the coins. If there is more than one transaction with the same private key, the protocol designed to resolve double spending will be applied.

How was the Funds from Puzzle 64 transferred. There mist been a tug of war between the bots fighting each other during that time also. So how was it managed? Does someone know the story of that time. Same must have been for the Forks coin transfer of that puzzle as well. Another Tx another bot war ?

Well that is a good question, but unless someone recorded the mempool TX related to that address at that time there is no way to know for sure because after some time all those TX that didn't win the "bid" fight are promptly discarded from most of the servers that show TX details online.

One example of that is what i write in Is FullRBF allowing double spend? where i show some TX tha are related to one of my addresses and those TX no longer exists because they were FullRBF with new TX.

It seems to me that these calculations are very abstract, we are missing several steps for ripemd160. If this were really the case, then any addresses could be taken away without problems. I know you Alberto, we corresponded several times in tg. I am grateful to you in many ways, most likely thanks to you I started this activity. I have no goal of emptying other people’s wallets, but if one is found ownerless or from a puzzle, I will definitely send you a significant reward, rly. But, over time, I realized that this is more of a study, most likely this will never happen, maybe. Once again I apologize, I'm using a translator.

these last pages read like schizoposting.

anyway
what stops someone from sending invalid / badly signed TXs to the network so the bots are bogged down cracking the #66 with bad pubkeys? how does the network react in this case? does it just drop the bad transaction? or is it just not possible?
i could not find much on the subject of crafting invalid TXs, as i assume any wallet program will just refuse to send a TX due to invalid signature.

If you are talking addresses or better yet, address prefixes (which both are a reflection of their H160), you don't really need to know all of the steps, really any of them, the H160 or the SHA256, etc. You just have to know what comprises an address, in this case base58. And from there you can get a rough idea of how many specific prefixes will be in a specific, certain sized range.

First, the leading 1, isn't part of the prefix, it is a gimme because all of these type addresses start with 1.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but couldn't we just take range size / 58^number of leading prefixes (minus the starting "1")
If everything is uniformly spread out, over the range/curve (as the experts like to say, but it's not proven, but is a good "guesstimator" of sorts), an 11-char prefix (1 + 11 characters = total of 12 characters), in a 2^65 bit range, there should be around 1.4 of them. 2^65 / 58^11
2^65 / 58^11 = 1.4
2^65 / 58^10 = 85
2^65 / 58^9 = 4,967
2^65 / 58^8 = 288,088

and I guess you could apply a similar logic to H160s as well, but use 16^number of leading H160 prefixes, instead of 58^number of leading prefixes (minus the starting "1")

Anyone?

How was the Funds from Puzzle 64 transferred. There mist been a tug of war between the bots fighting each other during that time also. So how was it managed? Does someone know the story of that time. Same must have been for the Forks coin transfer of that puzzle as well. Another Tx another bot war ?

Hello there  Cheesy

I don't remember if there was a bot war for BTC in puzzle #64, but I got the privkey like 12 minutes after the pubkey was exposed (but only with CPU, I don't have GPU  Grin )

Then I just got the fork coins (only BCH, BSV, eCash, BTG, BCD and CDY)  Wink

Yes that is correct, even if you broadcast it manually the network nodes will not accept your transaction.

Good to know that even after 12 minutes the fork coins were intact. So probably the situation is not that bad as we are anticipating

I’m seeing so many variations of software throughout this thread and the other one. If I wanted to randomly let my pc waste electricity on weekends doing a random search for #66, what would be my best bet?

I have a 3070 and can switch to my Ubuntu partition if that’s better. I know my chances are probably like 0.001%, but I just want to feel like I’m joining the big boys on the hunt.

64 was solved before the 10x so the values of the fork coins were not as tempting as they are now.

Total number of addresses that start with the same 11 characters = 2^66 / 58^(11 * log2(58))

First, calculate 58^(11 * log2(58)):

58^(11 * log2(58)) ≈ 58^42.614 ≈ 1.2107 × 10^74 (approximately)

Then, divide 2^66 by this result:

2^66 / 1.2107 × 10^74 ≈ 460708775.52

So, the approximate number of addresses that start with the same 11 characters from a key length of 2^66 bits is about 460,708,775.
