Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it

Okay, I’ve been away for a few days and I find pages and pages of nothing, hahaha 
I suggest exploring other solutions.

Glad you could grace us with your cryptographic wisdom. You're absolutely right. Uniform distribution and lack of patterns are so basic, it’s almost like we’re not even trying. But hey, while you’re here, maybe you could enlighten us with your groundbreaking solution? Or is this just the 'I’m smarter than everyone' tour? 

absolutely not, I'm not a professional magician

Shame, because pulling solutions out of thin air seems to be your specialty. But don’t worry, we’ll keep searching for patterns in the chaos—after all, someone’s gotta do the heavy lifting while you’re busy not being Houdini.

Here’s one groundbreaking solution : scan all keys, in any order you prefer. Realise that there is no silver bullet or statistical bias. Find the key and profit.
If you want to work on better strategies I suggest you work on 135. At least there is room for improvement there.

I totally agree

the moment when some serious users post thoughtful things, immediately there appears some fresh created account user, posting exactly something against what was being discusses

Yes, the internet's natural law: for every thoughtful post, there must arise a freshly minted account, ready to deliver the hottest of takes with the chilliest of evidence.

It's like clockwork—or maybe performance art.

Keep in mind that you and I have been signup since the same year; I simply prefer reading over writing.

Which is more easier puzzle #68 or puzzle #135?

Which is more easier puzzle #68 or puzzle #135?

Without 2000 GPUs it doesn't even matter.

With 2000 GPUs 135 is easier. With 1 - 12 GPU - you need luck only.

Complexity of 135 is lower but it has more operational burden to run at scale.

What is the chance of running 2 4090 for two months on random range? Which has high probability finding puzzle 135 or winning the lottery?

[dastic]

Actually is there a fully random scanning software for GPU ? Tools like keyhunt cuda or rotor they are not fully random...

What do you understand by "fully random scanning"? I hope it's not "hey, let's test a new random key at every step" lol. That would be dumb to do.

I mean fully random within range - not pseudorandom or rekey every x mkeys.

Yes, technically, there's a chance you'll find something, but that chance is about as likely as getting struck by lightning while holding a winning lottery ticket in one hand and a four-leaf clover in the other.

Great. The only sure thing that will happen is that you'll check the same keys, because of the birthday paradox.

Let's pick Puzzle 68. Split it in ranges of 1 keys. Truly random picks: you'll scan a previously scanned key somewhere after 2**38.5 scanned keys. After 2**67 picks (size of keyspace), you'll have scanned 64% of all the possible keys, and 36% of all keys remain unscanned.

Split it in ranges of 2**58 keys. Truly random range picks: you'll scan a previously scanned range somewhere after 23 scanned ranges. After 2**9 range picks (size of all ranges), you'll have scanned 64% of all possible ranges, and 36% of all ranges remain unscanned.

Unless you have a way to shuffle 2**67 keys, in a random order, and actually storing that order without repeats. IDK of any formula for that, and even if it would exist, it means exponentially increasing the difficulty (priv to pub key at every step because keys are no longer sequential).

Obviously you can shuffle something manageable, like 512 (or even tens of millions) of same-size ranges, and traverse them in the shuffled order. But for such low numbers you might as well pick a random range until you get one that wasn't marked as scanned.

Here’s one groundbreaking solution : scan all keys, in any order you prefer. Realise that there is no silver bullet or statistical bias.

My favorite order is to check every other 99194853094755497 private key, mod 2 ** 67. The only Cyclops-Fibonacci prime known so far.

It fits nicely with 1000 or so ranges too!
