I upgraded Mutagen to start Puzzle 69 — good luck!

I have 200 useless scripts that I’ve never published.  

I started Puzzle 55. I'm already over 10 parts and still making more. So it doesn't load the baby table into memory — it writes it to disk in a zillion parts?  So puzzle 66 requires a 2TB hard drive?

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.

At least you're making a parody of your own scripts. Some people are still being serious here, as if that's worth anything to them

How exactly is bsgs helpful if we only have an address

[POD5]

AlbertoBSD has also writen a BSGSD server but it allows no concurrent connections...

What is useful if I do not have and will not have 3500 GPUs? Rope to hang myself? 

[nomachine]

Rope.....

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...  

[POD5]

Can anyone explain how to to use MARA in case of finding a puzzle key?

ELECTRUM
Import Wif Key as...
Enter destinatary address
Enter amount
Click Pay
Click Preview
Enter fee manually
Click Sign
Share
Export to file
Open exported file
Copy RAW TX
Enter it to Mara site at
https://slipstream.mara.com/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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)

[AlanJohnson]

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.
