This will be my final goodbye, and I want to make my intentions clear to everyone. To those who still don’t see what’s happening, I urge you not to waste your time. Wise individuals learn from the mistakes of others, but if you choose not to, you may end up living with regret for the rest of your life. Take this as a reminder to think carefully about the path you’re on—don’t let time slip away chasing something that leads nowhere.

I also want to take a moment to respect the developers like albert0bsd, JLP and zielar for their contributions to this community.

I could make you a huge list of geniuses that were belittled and by then they discovered the "impossible", an example, the inventor of the blue LED.
Science does not know the impossible word, and that you feel in a dead end does not mean that others cannot achieve what you did not do.
Conspiracy theories may seem easier to accept for some people because science can sometimes be complex and difficult to understand.

Can someone tell me how much computing power would be needed for someone to hit the  28-characters "AndCausingCLimateChange6666" in address ?

With Tools like Vanitygen or VanitySearch.

That is an enormous number of possible combinations, roughly equal to 7.5 × 10^48.

To generate a 28-characters in address, it could take trillions of years on a single consumer-grade GPU.  

I fired up my rig and found a vanity address for you. Here you go dude

1.1 high fee over 100

Current Slipstream minumun fee is 10 Sat/vB to be accepted, 100 sat/vB is ten times that amount it is excessive, right?

3. transfer the long TX ID to mara use a high fee 1000

Did you know how signatures Works? Once that you signed one, you can't change the fee amount, Now 1000 sat/vb That is ten times excessive from your previous suggest of 100 sat/vB

4. then it should be very secure!

I never said that, i said that it was the only commercial option available, and its trustfulness need to be tested...

Awasome!! Hope your Rigs are still OK.

To be honest with all of you I am also taking some break from answering post messages, emails and telegrams, since the last two puzzles were solved I start to receive an incredible amount of new emails and messages of all kind all of them asking the same again and again... (I am tired of this repetitive shit)

I am going to keep reading the relevant messages in silent.

I am learning GPU CUDA development at deep level. I am also working in some cool ideas and trying to optimize some things.
Currently i have two jobs to cover my daily spends so i have less time to lose with noob messages. But I am still open to new ideas/messages as long those have some of background research and not just assumptions based on "I think that", "I believe that..."

Can I get a WIF for that address of mine?

That is an enormous number of possible combinations, roughly equal to 7.5 × 10^48.

To generate a 28-characters in address, it could take trillions of years on a single consumer-grade GPU.  

To make a transfer you need to specify the address where you want to transfer. To enter an address, all you have to do is press the keys on your keyboard or whatever you're typing the characters with.

I'm going fishing again.

Seriously?

[nomachine]

I'm going fishing again.

Seriously?

Fishing offers a peaceful connection with nature, allowing the mind to relax and reset, while solving unsolvable BTC puzzles can lead to frustration and mental fatigue. Reduce stress, unlike the endless search for solutions in puzzles that may never yield results. Spending hours in front of a screen on futile tasks drains mental energy.

Hello friends,

I have thoughts that the creator of 120 - 125 - and 130 wallets has moved to 3Emiwzxme7Mrj4d89uqohXNncnRM15YESs wallet.

all of these are being transferred to 3Emiwzxme7Mrj4d89uqohXNncnRM15YESs. But for some reason, as of 27/02/2023, not even $1 can be withdrawn or processed? Another person who doesn't need it?

What I do not understand is they are not even converting it to USDT or trading with some other coins etc.
So it is not about anonymity. Most probably does not need it..

HODL!!!

There are so many conspiracy theories driven by the frustrations of those users.

Somebody said that there is no enough power to solve those challenges. I have some word for them, cloud-computing even if that was used without the permission of the owner of those servers, the computing capacity is there and exist without any doubt.

Some other claim about not wasting or move that balance, Maybe they are waiting to bitcoin new highs to recover its investments.
Maybe there are private sponsors paying for that computing power we don't know.
Maybe is some one with a lot of GPUs in a country where electricity is cheap, stolen or free. (I've been reached by people working in gas and oil industries that are trying to pivot to crypto using their excess of energy available from burning gas)

There is a endless of possibilities about the reason of not moving that balance.

I reached out to the creator personally over PM on September 16, initially to defend him from some unfair criticism. I asked questions and made suggestions about the project, such as revealing more information to reduce speculation and encouraging developers. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive a direct response from him.

Hahaha and you seriously expected that him is going to answer you?
He is not going to reply to ANYONE....

Just imagine having access to thousand of bitcoin and you create some challenge like this, and you start to replying to random strangers over internet, they may try to trick you to enter some links and they will try to record your IP, your browser vulnerabilities and other nasty stuff...

Please you mention that you are based in logic to reach some fallacy conclusions, and you don't see the logic to see that the author of that challenge is not going to answer to anyone?

I appreciate your perspective, and you're right that it can be risky for the creator to engage with everyone. However, my intention wasn't to seek personal engagement or easy answers. I joined the discussion because I find the intellectual challenge intriguing and wanted to contribute my thoughts.

While I don't expect the creator to respond, I believe it’s reasonable to offer feedback, especially to counter unfair criticism. Even though the puzzles are designed to be incredibly difficult, I value the process of attempting to solve them. Perhaps I’m being a bit naive in thinking that personal outreach could make a difference, but I still believe in the importance of constructive dialogue in these kinds of situations.

[Anonymous User]

Hey Akito, based on my analysis, none of the developers have come forward to address this. The sequence of events (dates of decisions, prize increases) seems suspicious. For them, it will always remain a theory without proper evidence. Either they fear backlash or worry that no one will use or respect the code they spent thousands of hours developing and sharing for the community. If one of the developers admits this was orchestrated by the creator, thousands of people could lose interest, and no one would care about the puzzle anymore.

I believe the creator of this puzzle is watching every single conversation. If someone actually solved 120, 125, and 130, the creator would at least be curious about who cracked them. After all, they invested 1,000 BTC into this puzzle and would want to know what code and math were used to break it.

And if the creator orchestrated all of this, they probably don’t even care about joining the conversation or addressing all the backlash they're receiving.

I am not pinpointing any specific developers—this is just my analysis or, as they always say, a theory.

[ihsotas91]

I realized something strange after some tests.
I have a lot of equipment. All running for searches about these puzzles.

To have fun, I chose to search via vanity in last days.
I have desktops and notebooks with latest and powerful intel chips, nvidia graphics, 120GB DDR5 etc. each. On vanity, these setups find ~20 addresses per day for each.

However, when I applied vanity via apple silicone chips (M1, M2, M3), daily found vanity addresses ~500 per each setup.
I observed the behavior, and when it finds a vanity address in the pool I search, immediately it finds 5-6 addresses more in milliseconds, it is moving to the numbers to check that might have the vanity around some near numbers while I'm generating those numbers using "random".

For example:

Do you have a binary to search vanity which runs on Silicon CPUs? I could not find any nor make it work, a lot of libraries are only for intel.
Could you share it ?

There are already plenty of people using the same trick or method to find private keys within a similar range, as I mentioned. It's not surprising or new information to most of us. Developers have known for a while that there are tens of thousands of addresses like this clustered in the same range. You spent time, energy, and resources on this approach, but it may not be as productive as you hoped. My intention is not to stop you but to educate you.

^{1MVDYUvrcMqdprCTYuthuaQxWWAL8Ty2KS 220647290646478288674
1MVDYE2EHY3VR3AXKrD7mYvpSgD2SGgqZb 257335783054352585279
1MVDYuE5HGPjYaEH72sZukwNXhdtdKSQRY 280101386265359359876
1MVDYNcMjPsAW1PQgjwCGRNwijJMSW1UcR 274962343828436157207
1MVDYGms9qGRsrDD7AuoyYJBZnJTzAj9B8 213173989571665196391
1MVDYnfq7s3yG8fdnhQ66cqDa4h2DNoGeB 247904416465366500764
1MVDYY8GUU8or4WfLSrsbHip8F7pwA4xpv 243282287509672730681
1MVDYxMNG8fKf9fvX3r5PmwNXY8tjfESsu 245042251007899478320
1MVDY8aYEQsCWqU2MVWRjhrLHaX28SHFky 270190501490895327846}


These are found in the same second and it keeps this behavior.

This behavior made me crazy guys. I do not understand how it can do this.

 

Do you have a binary to search vanity which runs on Silicon CPUs? I could not find any nor make it work, a lot of libraries are only for intel.
Could you share it ?

It is very simple vanity search using "random" and written in Python


<sup>import sqlite3
import random
from bit import Key
import bitcoin

# Connect to vanity_addresses.db for storing found vanity addresses
vanity_conn = sqlite3.connect('vanity_addresses.db')
vanity_cursor = vanity_conn.cursor()

# Create a table in vanity_addresses.db to store vanity addresses and private keys
vanity_cursor.execute('''
    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS vanity_addresses (
        address TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
        private_key TEXT
    )
''')
vanity_conn.commit()

def generate_vanity_address(prefix):
    while True:
        # Generate a new private key
        private_key = random.randint(147573952589676412927, 295147905179352825855)
        # Compute the corresponding public key
        key = Key.from_int(private_key)
        addr = key.address
        addr_uncompressed = bitcoin. privkey_to_address(private_key)

        if addr.startswith(prefix):
            # Insert found vanity addresses into the vanity_addresses.db database
            vanity_cursor.execute(
                'INSERT INTO vanity_addresses (address, private_key) VALUES (?, ?)', (addr, str(private_key)))
            vanity_conn.commit()

        if addr_uncompressed.startswith(prefix):
            # Insert found vanity addresses into the vanity_addresses.db database
            vanity_cursor.execute(
                'INSERT INTO vanity_addresses (address, private_key) VALUES (?, ?)', (addr_uncompressed, str(private_key)))
            vanity_conn.commit()

            # Log that a vanity address was found
            # print(
            #     "Vanity Address found and inserted into the vanity_addresses.db database:", addr)


prefix = '1MVDY'
generate_vanity_address(prefix)</sup>
