Stop it, we'll never get a chance to solve this puzzle, Bitcoin will soon lose value because of quantum technology.

If you dont wanna participate it, then dont do it. But dont boss around other people just because they want the opposite of your choice

With quantum computers literally nothing is going to last for long (and yeah it's right around the corner and I don't see anyone coming up with any solution) and I'd assume cryptocurrencies in general (not just BTC) will be a small dot in comparison. The damages will be apocalyptic. Literally anything with an encryption (which is almost everything, including this forum for example) will be cracked in no time, all you'd need is a bunch of irresponsible and/or crazy and/or stupid humans getting their hands on one.
The very only way to avoid that future is simply by not building them but that's not going to happen, who's going to stop those companies (and I guess they already can do it even with what they currently have) so buckle up everybody and enjoy your life and your coins while you can.
(No, there is no other way, and also, I don't really understand "quantum-safe algorithms" etc. etc. because as long as that type of computation power (quantum) is accessible to someone who cannot be sued or found, literally any type of key can still be figured out with brute force, and within less than a millisecond, like it's going to take 0.0000000000001 second, so don't give me theories like that please, no encryption can survive that, and this planet is built on top of all sorts of things that depend on encryption in case someone doesn't know, so it'll be like stone age or even worse, like before dinosaurs existed, again as soon as some irresponsible humans get their hands on one)

Dear community, maybe someone else would like to add the keys for the prefixes 1PWo3JeB9 and 1PWo3JeB9j

I'm not sure what do you mean, how would that help?
I think the best way is to look at where the previous puzzles were (the %) and stay away from those areas, unless the puzzle maker wanted to mess with us and put this one in the exact same location in that range? Who knows, I don't have a 5090 anyway or even anything close.

Encryption techniques have evolved over time, and—obviously—they will continue to do so. The reason we’re all here discussing this is the recurring assumption that there must be some flaw in P2PKH. Statistically speaking, even if such a flaw exists, it would be extraordinarily difficult to exploit—bordering on impractical with current computational limits. That, incidentally, is why Bitcoin keeps introducing newer encoding formats: not because the old ones are “broken,� but because they are designed to improve security, efficiency, and resilience.

[GinnyBanzz]

People who think that quantum computing is "just round the corner" and will crack all encryption across the entire internet are some of the stupidest mother fuckers alive.

Damn… you’re being stupid.
Quantum safe algorithms already exist and are resilient to quantum computers of virtually any size.
The problem is migrating systems, not developing the algorithms.

WTF are you talking about? We already have PQ-safe encryption and it's already being deployed in HTTPS and TLS itself. Maybe update your hallucinating GPT to 2026 edition... BTW you're probably already using a PQ-safe algo when you conversate with it. Maybe check Wireshark and the Hellos...

My current progress. Just hope i hit the jackpot 😅

Any new method here ? 🤔

[0x6667d]

hey, are there any unsolved puzzles left?
I went to blockchain.com: all wallets are empty (or most)

upd. my bad, i check only some of them (for ex i have not checked wallet 71)

Can I participate in this puzzle solving with my android smartphone???

you can if you come up with an algorithm other than brute force. however, in the case of brute force, you are doomed to wait forever.


i've started solving 71 by my own (i made a conclusion that on my pc bruteforce will take around 220billion years )
so, there must be some kind of pattern here that I don’t see, it will be interesting to read the ideas further (yes, I looked at the previous messages on the form)

p.s. also i find it's very interesting that every fifth has already solved (perhaps this was written about on the forum, but I didn’t see it)

[skedarve]

ive actually found the flaw in the wallets, but i have a big problem: i dont really know how to integrate it into CUDA, and i find it very difficult to trust someone on the forum to help me with the CUDA integration.

by admitting him to Cuda we could resolve it in less than 5 days

You can try using ai for this... Unfortunately, I cannot implement this: I do not have the CUDE at my disposal

i’m ready to try implementing a program to solve this problem (using AI, of course, because I have no experience working with CUDA);
If you certainly wish; In this way we could divide the winnings

[kTimesG]

BTC must rise in value to way above 300.000 $ just in order to break even with the costs needed to break #71 (assuming zero competition).

Anything else (mystical hardware, fantasy programs, voodoo "algorithms") are just a safe way to lose time and resources. It's more likely to encounter a real unicorn than to not die broke attempting to find flaws in the puzzle, or something better than brute-force (and if that ever happens, reality as we know it would collapse anyway).

oh, I would like to solve some puzzles on btc that would not be a brute-force solution. does anyone know any? I think I've found a couple, but since they remain unresolved for >10 years, maybe they don't have a solution other than brute force...

This puzzle is very strange. If it's for measuring the world's brute forcing capacity, 161-256 are just a waste (RIPEMD160 entropy is filled by 160, and by all of P2PKH Bitcoin). The puzzle creator could improve the puzzle's utility without bringing in any extra funds from outside - just spend 161-256 across to the unsolved portion 51-160, and roughly treble the puzzle's content density.

If on the other hand there's a pattern to find... well... that's awfully open-ended... can we have a hint or two?

I am the creator.

You are quite right, 161-256 are silly.  I honestly just did not think of this.  What is especially embarrassing, is this did not occur to me once, in two years.  By way of excuse, I was not really thinking much about the puzzle at all.

I will make up for two years of stupidity.  I will spend from 161-256 to the unsolved parts, as you suggest.  In addition, I intend to add further funds.  My aim is to boost the density by a factor of 10, from 0.001*length(key) to 0.01*length(key).  Probably in the next few weeks.  At any rate, when I next have an extended period of quiet and calm, to construct the new transaction carefully.

A few words about the puzzle.  There is no pattern.  It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty).  It is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community.

Finally, I wish to express appreciation of the efforts of all developers of new cracking tools and technology.  The "large bitcoin collider" is especially innovative and interesting!

p.s. also i find it's very interesting that every fifth has already solved (perhaps this was written about on the forum, but I didn’t see it)

You apparently haven't read enough about this puzzle...

Let me point you to the following transactions, first 7c432398...474d4f1e and second 17e4e323...17a4b3d3 from around midth of 2019.

Compare e.g. the transaction history of puzzle #70, https://mempool.space/address/19YZECXj3SxEZMoUeJ1yiPsw8xANe7M7QR, with the transaction history of puzzle #71, https://mempool.space/address/1PWo3JeB9jrGwfHDNpdGK54CRas7fsVzXU, neglecting the more recently sent dust.

Do you spot the important difference between the two?

it’s not very obvious to me what you’re talking about, but I noticed transfers of 1000 satoshi to some wallets. (?)
