Ok, here's a 1BTC puzzle.

[stevewig]

I made my 8 CamelCase wordlists using Mentalist as i did mention earlier in this thread, i must admit - i have only created a small number of words in total, as this had to be done in steps, as i was only able to make 7 words with mentalist, otherwise the wordlist would get to approx 160GB in size.

Then when i had the 7 wordlist i split that up into smaller pieces like 800k lines in each, and then made an import into excel which i then used to calculate number of chars, i've then used Mentalist once again with the 7 wordslist that matched the correct remaing number of chars for the last character.

My plan was to try and get Brainflayer up and running with these, but until now, that have been steady uphill as i have been battling compiling that code without errors.

Im using a virtualbox running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, and i've been getting a -pthread error i managed to narrow down to editing the makefile, but still it seems that Brainflayer can't run.

Could you help me out with the command line for running the utility?
 

are you running as root?

If not, put 'sudo' before the command. I don't remember exactly the full command line, but what I do remember is it had some dependencies.

If you struggle with it, I could maybe send you a compiled version?

Yes im running as root...


regarding that file size, the complete 8 worded list from the chars i've used would be 64GB, with 1.6 billion words - i must have used other words the first couple of times i ran the Mentalist..
This is what it looks like in Mentalist ->

The wordlist i have compliled just now is only 1.9GB with 57mill. words i can see, sorry about the confusion

[bulleteyedk]

If that is possible somehow, then yes

I just get errors when trying to use the tool, seems like it is not compiled correct, damn this is not easy

[bulleteyedk]

Hm, but a few pages ago I posted all possible combinations of 8 words with up to 8 letters each that have 32 char in total(like 4 2 4 8 2 5 2 5).There were around 850k combination.

Which means that even with just 2 different words for every length(16 words in total), there will be more than 200 billion combinations.

I can't argue that... i've also only used what seems to be the most common english words, and then even further redused the words according to those capital letters used by the author on the question, this is just a guess by me, that the solution should be found with a wording combination like that... i could be totally wrong - but it seems impossible to solve without not cutting down on the word size, so this is my approach, i think it must be a lead from the auther without mentioning it.

EDIT: i've used this page to narrow down on the compiling errors, also he seems to answer a lot of other questions regarding the tool...

Still im not able to run the tool, not even the first task of making that hex2blf, i get an error that the command is not found eventhough the file is the folder, and it's spelled correct?

[stevewig]

Put ./ in front of your command.

Also, I tried to message you regarding the compiled brainflayer.

Unfortunately I’m not allowed to message you because I’m a ‘Newbie’

Ahhh thanks man... now i got that first task up and running, man.... im just a linux n00b haha, not used to messing around in this enviroment
I'll try and get that brainflayer up and running will let you now how that goes  

EDIT: getting an segment error running brainflayer, which others do too - i have tried different parameters, but same error
will have to look into that, im a little bit closer to getting this up and running

[stevewig]

Just remember me when you’re 1BTC richer ;-)

[bulleteyedk]

Just remember me when you’re 1BTC richer ;-)

i sure will - you have been a great help, let's hope im on the right path

Added some guesses and its weird as they are all 8 words and 32 characters long:

I should stop now. My head starts to hurt using too much computational power.

That's actually some nice guesses you did come up with  

I managed to get my brainflayer up and running, but it got pretty late, so i have only managed to run through the first couple of wordfiles, approx 1.6 mill. words was processed in a matter of minuttes, it's a pretty cool tool actually.

[stevewig]

Glad you got it working. It’s pretty cool isn’t it.

[bulleteyedk]

indeed, now i really have to get those other wordlists done, it's amazing how fast brainflayer processes the passwords

[stevewig]

All it’s doing really, is hashing the list you feed it, to see if the hash matches the one you also feed it.

Clever stuff though.

I belive that almost all people are using camel case with the first letter capitalised, but could be not.  

"Camel case is often used for variable names in computer programming. Some programming styles prefer camel case with the first letter capitalised, others not.[1][2][3] For clarity, this article calls the two alternatives upper camel case (initial uppercase letter, also known as Pascal case) and lower camel case (initial lowercase letter, also known as Dromedary case[4]). Some people and organizations, notably Microsoft,[2] use the term camel case only for lower camel case. Pascal case means only upper camel case."

[stevewig]

I agree, that is a possibility, however, I believe that the way the question was written is an example.

[iq_armando]

If you have the correct words like

TheBitcoinIsAScamWorseThanTulips

How do you know that with brainwallet you can find the private key?

 https://brainwalletx.github.io  

It could be another form?

Thanks

if the question was written is an example and with english words, no special symbols

WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHasTeeth

It is not 32 characters long plain-text

unless we remove the last three letters

WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHasTe

and maybe we should do the same to the answer

You don't need to visit a site to make from a phrase a brain wallet, you can do that with a script from almost any coding language. Y will leave an example from bash script:

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/21259/is-there-a-way-to-generate-a-brain-wallet-from-the-command-line-or-console/21322

You only have to google 'Bitcoin brainwallet language' change language for JS, c++, or the one you want to use.

And it's more safe to write your own code (or at least compile it for yourself after you have understood the code).
On a webpage, you can't be sure that the code behind don't check your freshly generated private key, before you have a chance to have a look at the private key itself...
So handle these web page scripts with the necessary care....

it can be any answer that has occurred to blockladder without any apparent logic like:
