Yes, you have found the dust and are doing nonsense and wasting your time.

instead of wasting power on useless data, you could spend that power on key sorting and in most cases you would be closer to the answer. Congratulations, you've wasted your energy 🫡👍💪.

anyway "1.336e+35 y" it's a huge time.

How can anybody say "you nearly found it!" with a straight face? doesn't that completely fly in the face in the whole concept of ECDSA? Feel like this thread is a lunatic asylum sometimes.

[Andrey123]

Hi everyone!
What script is used for the search?
There was a report about it in 2015, but I don't think anyone has posted it anywhere.
I still can't figure it out.

[puzzle_72_worker]

I tried to decode some info from puzzles and i found the next things: the creator is a fan of iguanas animal and maybe he has one, and have 1-2 kids because has some children stories inside clues + freddy mercury fan.
Maybe who is reading this is laughing but if you look with a proper encoding tool, you can see fragments of what i say.

Good luck everyone!

I seem to remember someone else posting about finding some hidden Freddy Mercery thing awhile back.

Personally I don't subscribe to any of this, and I'm pretty positive saatoshi_rising wasn't dumb enough to use a brainwallet or leave personal 'clues' about his/her life.

When you're looking for patterns where there are none, your brain will get super creative and fill them in.

[puzzle_72_worker]

I didn't say brainwallet. Depends on the encoding you create and use. standard encoding will never work, so you need to use your own encoding system if you want to discover something.
Is coincidence or not, i wanted to share with everybody. If you do not agree, keep on the math way and you will never find.
Think out of the box for this puzzle.
Very soon will be discovered the key.

I was using brainwallet as an example. Saatoshi didn't create this "puzzle" (as everyone likes to call it), with anything you're currently exploring. He stayed inside the box because the box is more than good enough.

For the 10,000th time this week THERE IS NO PATTERN, just keys from a deterministic wallet padded with zeros.

If there is/was ANY pattern discovered from any of these puzzles it would be purely coincidental (having resembled a pattern) and only relevant to THAT specific puzzle, non applicable to the rest of them.

[crypto_user_new]

How do you are very sure? Are you the creator? Are you DEXTER the genious? Serious? If you couldn't find any pattern or anything, this doesn't means that is not existing.
A problem has N solutions according to the math theory, so why everybody should thing like you? Let the people solve in other ways than usual...Unless you come with a NOBEL prize and show that you are the best in cryptography, please keep for you .


And regarding the words that he was thinking in the box and everybody should use only his way, this means was not no smart if someone is finding a solution that applies to all puzzles and there is another way to solve the puzzles without any coincidence....no? So if you create a puzzle and you want to be solved only in 1 way, be smart enough to create the perfect puzzle, not throw on table some points that are random and cannot be found random...so let's be serious!!!

so they created a puzzle with the intent to brute force it instead of actually solving the puzzle part of it? it seems like you are assuming a lot. weird how so many people are saying "don't look down at the patterns there are none there we already looked", but you provide no evidence or any proof, you only use words and dismiss. why did the puzzle creator give MrFreeDragon so much btc for creating VisualBTC if this is a brute force puzzle? please explain that one for me. cause ive seen the symbols using visualbtc that your trying to stop other people from seeing... saatoshi_rising as a hex key viewed in VisualBTC is a good place to start for anyone else interested. Don't believe anyone else, read what the puzzle creator actually said from their account. and remember it is a puzzle. if you try brute force a jigsaw puzzle piece into the wrong place, it wont fit and you could damage the piece and the puzzle... theres a reason famous songs, and movies all follow the same base principles and can relate to the bitcoin puzzles. study the bitcoin genesis block in BINARY, and you see and hear the same thing. people are saying dont look closer because this also involves genesis and religion, and they dont want you to know you can use maths to disprove their religious control. we already know which groups they are, we read cicada 3301s liber primus, thats how i initially found out about the bitcoin puzzles. i used the btc keys cicada left in plain view on the pages and learned that sha256 was throwing away data. so i made my own sha256 that kept that data instead. data is data no matter how you look at it. just 0 and 1s at the end of the day. maths is just patterns, and there are definately patterns and signatures left by the software and os/kernal that was used to created bitcoin genesis and mine the first blocks, and create the btc puzzles/redistribute them.

looking forward to a detailed argument against any of this with actual maths or facts we can re-verify ourselfs and share the results to cross verify between us. instead of believing random anonymous people online

I can barely understand a word you're trying to say but he said it himself. "There is no pattern".

We are on #71 out of 160. You have any idea how many brilliant people have analyzed these puzzles for some sort of constant? Looking for anything leading them to a slightest conclusion - something solid they could work with to solve one of these.

If there was any real discernible pattern, it would have been found by now.

Anytime anyone mentions this the "pattern guys" feel attacked and get emotional, and always reply the below:

"How do YOU know?"
"You have proof?"
"Are you him?"
"Just wait and see"
"Any day now I will have the master key"
"Think outside the box"
"The lack of pattern is the pattern"
"His keys are named after his dog"

Same shit, different emotionally unstable pattern guy.

Before 135 was solved I had talked with a few of the people on here about where they calculated out the range to be and was told the first non zero digit by them, they were right. If he didn’t delete it NUCLEAR7.1  put it out in the forum a bigger range in the 6s than what he had shown me before he posted it. It made me feel like he wasn't being straight with me, and now I know he was, as it was really dam close to the actual key. Another user who didn’t put it out on the forum due to the keyboard warriors also had the correct range down to 2 places after zeros. How does at-least 5 people in the forum have a way to get to at-least the first non zero digit then?

I can see if there was 100k people on this forum posting a certain percentage could guess in the right range but there is very few people actually posting on this forum and the ones that do have ideas and maybe in the correct range for what ever reason, get shot down by the keyboard warriors. I am not talking about the ones that explain why there theory is wrong and explain the math/reasoning after words either.

[crypto_user_new]

Who are you to judge? Are you a Nobel prize mathematician? If your ideeas are based on "others", sorry you are just barking on wrong tree.
Did you tried other methods like Nuklear 7.1 or anything out of the box or you are just a believer in a single god?
I am a mathematician and ican say there are multiple way ossolvong,i cluding patterns.
Uf you do not see them it means you are not on the correct level !
Or you are frustrated that if the information is shared and others can take your prize....

So RetiredCoder also retired. I wonder who is going to solve now the Remaining stuff 

[Cryptoman2009]

So RetiredCoder also retired. I wonder who is going to solve now the Remaining stuff 

he rightly retired because trying to solve from 140 to 160 currently would cost more in power than the potential gain.

just a random chance. get right seed and get 140 at second.

I never saw it. Not that it didn't happen, but I don't know and it doesn't prove patterns. Why didn't they solve it of they were that close?

I do think there are ways to force prefixes/suffixes to a point but the math gets lost at some early point and those methods are beyond me. Furthermore, my ability to explain something so abstract is lost on me as well.

I don't think there is ONLY ONE WAY to solve these. However, I DO think there is no clear/defined 'pattern'.

The time you spend looking for patterns could be better spent simply sub-ranging and iterating.
