Awesome good to hear people still using their brains  Grin personally if I solve any puzzles I'm distributing a lions share to the members of this thread who's information has helped me. It's way more fun solving puzzles with logic instead of staring at a brute force output

It's interesting, the key to the 135th puzzle was found the day before the anniversary of satoshi's words "If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.". Another event in the piggy bank of conspiracy theory people.  Grin

Anyway, congratulations to the one who found the key.

Hi i don't know if this was asked!


@RetiredCoder, congratulations on solving Puzzle #135!

I have a question about your setup. You mentioned it took about 5 months using 200 GPUs.

Were those GPUs distributed across multiple GPU nodes or GPU servers? If so, did you use a central server for distinguished point (DP) sharing, or was each node running independently?

I'm asking because I'm using RCKangaroo , and I can't find any server or DP-sharing feature. Thanks!

@detechs people will say that i am crazy but with higher number of puzzle the difficulty is going down...so i say correct and not going UP. if you use bruteforce the difficulty go up, but i search a theory that increasing and solving the puzzles, the difficulty go down.

Pm me if you want I'll send you scripts, code, formulas, data, methods and research info. I can't pm you cause of your setting

Thank you but i'm ok. I figure it out one thing and i follow the stream. Very close....if the first one will fall by me, everything will fall in 24h until 160 like a chain... difficulty is decreasing by solving each puzzle.

7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx = 1PWo3JeB9jrGwPQrSTUVWxyZAARjU29VG2
?                              = 1PWo3JeB9jrGwfHDNpdGK54CRas7fsVzXU

just guessing P71 also on 7 and above of this address 1PWo3JeB9jrGwPQrSTUVWxyZAARjU29VG2
7fffffffffffffffff - 700000000000000000 = 295,147,905,179,352,825,855 spaces and very possible in that spaces have more than two prefix 1PWo3JeB9jrGw

I'm a bit confused. The GitHub README says RCKangaroo has no networking or DP save/load support, but your Puzzle #135 post mentions hundreds of GPUs, a 1 TB RAM server, and a 400 GB DP database. Was that done with a private version of RCKangaroo, or did you build separate software around the public release? I'd appreciate any clarification.

Was that done with a private version of RCKangaroo, or did you build separate software around the public release? I'd appreciate any clarification.

Of course he has his setup the way he wanted it, he was nice enough to give you the free ware version to the masses with his SOTA+ ect , you should read the threads if you want to know more and also read the github info Sample command to generate tames:

RCKangaroo.exe -dp 16 -range 76 -tames tames76.dat -max 10

Then you can restart software with same parameters to see less K in benchmark mode or add "-tames tames76.dat" to solve some public key in 76-bit range faster.

From the thread his personal version was set up to be monitored by a personal server not something he should spend the time to explain to every person kinda interested in it.

Ryan here is quote as to your post
 “"Why would I stop? Any stops and changes are dangerous, you can lose progress partially or completely when you change something.
Same for splitting whole range into small pieces, it increases total complexity.
So I started the process, made several scripts to automate everything (it's boring to manage many GPUs and systems remotely) and paid bills for five months, it was not cheap and I had no guaranties of success, somebody else on this planet could find the key faster, or I could make an error somewhere in code or calculations and fail, and I would get exactly zero. This game is expensive.
People who think that they can crack 134bits of Secp256k1 with a couple of GPUs don't live in real world. I improved the algo itself and made crazy code using almost undocumented assembler, but anyway I had to rent hundreds of GPUs for months, with "normal" software like JLP's it would take years.


You are correct, K was about 0.35, I used mixed 4090 and 5090 cards. So I was lucky.
Also I remember somebody asked me if I want to share DB. I don't want, it's almost 400GB (I used DP=32 but anyway I had to use PC with 1TB RAM as a server), also I would need to provide all jump tables (they are calculated slightly different than RCKangaroo does for some reasons), just don't have time for this, also it won't help much for #140 that requires x5.5 more DPs. “"

Good luck, I've been "very close" for a month now, every layer you peel off reveals a larger onion, you think you are close and only need one more piece of the puzzle but you need to stand back and realize the puzzle surrounds you, you were too focused on your own view and didn't see the missing pieces all around you. If you have not decoded the btc genesis block they then you are far far far from close as it's required to view the further patterns

@detechs i understand the feeling with "close". For me the problem is time...
This new string that i follow is the best aproach ever. I reduced the dificulty with 50% and is  decreasing the difficulty with new puzzles discovered.
This weekend i do not have time at all, but next week i will built something in C++ for GPU to apply the new method.
Be prepare to see vanish all puzzles in same time Smiley
