Good work.

Some of those phrases aren’t CamelCase though. Not criticising, just an observation
Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Ok, here's a 1BTC puzzle.

The question is the following:

WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21Teeth?.txt

The solution is a 32 characters long plain-text (the private key).

Hint: 8 camel case english words, no special symbols

Happy puzzling!

The coin is still in the address which means no one could not solve the puzzle hehe
I am getting an inspiration to learn about the coding side of Bitcoin I think. I can not guarantee anything coz I easily give up LOL

Have fun guys.

Cheers :-)

Isn't an easy puzzle...

21 > Total bitcoin supply in millions
.txt > Satoshi White paper?
Teeth > Huh

I think the answer of this puzzle is in the bitcoin white paper... i will try to brute force that.

brute forcing is not good way for solving this puzzle. assume the white paper has 100 distinct words, total number of combinations is: 100! / (100-8)! = 7.50306389818e+15 . assume you have a good computer and it can compute 1000 combinations per second, total time of computing will be: 7.50306389818e+12 seconds= 237920 years.

I had in mind another kind of brute force. What i did was:

Code:
a1=(words count in wp.txt)
a=(a1 - 8)
for b in (sequence 1 to $a)
do
take words from $b to $b+8, if the sum is 32 char then save it on a file
done

And what i get was this:

I test those phrases as brainwallets but itdoesn't work  Sad

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5096267.msg49599982#msg49599982

there are billion billion billion of these sentences. This puzzle has no logic, just solve by guessing. So nobody can solve it. OP should solve it or should close this topic to save time of everybody


there are many ways of brute forcing that limit the number of results, so don't count it out.

tell me just one way of brute forcing that limit the number of results for this puzzle?

There are certain words that have a low probability of being used. using possible hints from the puzzle, among other things.

"low probability" is probability, not help and you think it is "low probability" but OP doesnt think so. Yes after use "possible hints" i see billion billion billion of these sentences. What are "other things"?

Other things are what I'm trying out. Can't give away all the hints Wink Also, a few billion is nothing and quite easy to test for brain wallets.

If it is a puzzle
Then we only need these characters "WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21Teethtxt"

If it is a riddle
it can be any character and I don't think that's possible to solve

If it's both (what I think) then we need
WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21Teethtxt
To be 32 chars example:
hyheombfatashatomoskias21eethtxt
Then make words out of that

Post like these is somehow interesting enough to hook up somebody into thinking. Its good to keep the brain working sometimes. Its just enjoying, hope everyone else feels the same way too. By the way its fun to see how one forum member searched a photo with 21 teeth but failed because 20 teeth was only seen. Very nice and funny effort. OP maybe you can give some of your bitcoin to him? Just joking though!

...

wow! it is a brilliant way to reduce number of combinations Smiley

Thanks but wasn't enough to get the right answer. At least i had developed a system to make brainwallet brute force to text files, maybe the code is useful for someone to solve this puzzle...

Code:
#Code in Unix BashScript
rm -rf bfResult.txt bfClean.txt;
cat bf.txt | tr -dc '[:alnum:]\n\r''\n ' | tr -d [0-9] >> bfClean.txt
for y in {a..z};
do
sed -i "s/ $y/ $(echo "$y" | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')/g" "bfClean.txt"
done
z1=$(cat bfClean.txt | wc -w)
z=$(echo "$z1-8" | bc)
for a in $(seq 1 $z)
do
c=$(echo "$a+7" | bc)
b=$(cat bfClean.txt | cut -d " " -f$a-$c)
if [ "$(echo "$b" | wc -m)" = "40" ]; #40 because is the 32+spaces
then
echo $b;
echo $b >> bfResult.txt;
fi
done

By the way, i think Op should drop another hint.  Grin

I wrote Natasha Otomoski again on YouTube and this time I also saw many videos, but most of them, if not, they are all about Bitcoin and about 21 million.

This is my best guess so far with no luck :

OneToothFitForEveryMillionOfCoin
21MillionCoinsIsTheAsymptoticCap
ItWillNeverReach21MillionOfCoins
1ToothAMillionCoinFitSatoshiView

My script has already processed 1/10 of the permutations based on BIP39 word list, nothing
Another script has already processed 1/5 of the permutations based on the transcript of the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AABkJ55Zz3A page, nothing

I think I will forgive shortly

Good luck to all

considering there are 2048^8 permutations of the bip39 list, i doubt that. The number of valid possibilities using that list is ~2000x smaller (161,735,049,399,563,309,103,078 - see this post for how it was derived). my program can check 100K phrases/s and it would take ~5B years to check 10% of those.

Yes, you are right but you can downsize drastically the amount of possible permutations by :

- Keeping 1/10 of the BIP39 list (from 2048 to 230), removing all not related words (eg: Drift,Fish and Fiscal) and keeping interrsting ones (eg : satoshi, million,coin,supply, tooth, one ...)
- Preventing permutations where two words are duplicated (eg: ThisThisOneToothThisThisThisThis symptom)
- Allowing only phrase of 8 words having 32 chars
- Preventing permutations where no more than 4 instances of a word having 4 letters
- For those who believe in the sequence W T C O N O H T would be even faster to check
- many more

Ok, here's a 1BTC puzzle.

The question is the following:

WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21Teeth?.txt

The solution is a 32 characters long plain-text (the private key).

Hint: 8 camel case english words, no special symbols

Happy puzzling!

I don't understand anything from this puzzle. Is it really able to get this bitcoin that finds the answer? if so I'll find 10 people and make them think for 1 month: D Are you going to give me some more clues, or is it just that? It's hard.

I think this is a very confusing way, but this also needs to be studied and I am also very happy with the code you provided

My script has already processed 1/10 of the permutations based on BIP39 word list, nothing
Another script has already processed 1/5 of the permutations based on the transcript of the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AABkJ55Zz3A page, nothing
considering there are 2048^8 permutations of the bip39 list, i doubt that. The number of valid possibilities using that list is ~2000x smaller (161,735,049,399,563,309,103,078 - see this post for how it was derived). my program can check 100K phrases/s and it would take ~5B years to check 10% of those.


Yes, you are right but you can downsize drastically the amount of possible permutations by :

- Keeping 1/10 of the BIP39 list (from 2048 to 230), removing all not related words (eg: Drift,Fish and Fiscal) and keeping interrsting ones (eg : satoshi, million,coin,supply, tooth, one ...)
- Preventing permutations where two words are duplicated (eg: ThisThisOneToothThisThisThisThis symptom)
- Allowing only phrase of 8 words having 32 chars
- Preventing permutations where no more than 4 instances of a word having 4 letters
- For those who believe in the sequence W T C O N O H T would be even faster to check
- many more

greg007r, I wonder how You Generate this addresses.
Should one not just hex output the text and use this as the ECDSA private key?

If I take for example your last example; CanAllFinalThisSatisfyHaveOneFix : 1MaAgoj6AJ1T4NHoZLM3g5EohWwJ2n5MR2
I get 1NSPwaCCTcA8JS99Em6nhyW1vHiX2F2pUg as the Address?

How do you get that 1MaAgoj6AJ1T4NHoZLM3g5EohWwJ2n5MR2 address?

Thanks in Advance

Ok, Thanks

I tried what you suggested and indeed the address fits the one you showed before.

But in an earlier post, someone suggested to take the 32 Char String, get the hex output for it (by for example paste it in https://www.online-toolz.com/tools/text-hex-convertor.php) and then use that HEX output as the ECDSA Private Key (for example paste it in https://gobittest.appspot.com/Address) and then it gives the answer I showed you before.

So, now are my questions:

- Which is the way to follow?
- Which of both VALID addresses is the one we search for?

Thanks In Advance



As far as I understand, a private key is a 256bit unsigned integer that can be represented as well as HEX, BASE64, WIF or PLAIN.
In the concept of BrainWallet, we want to use a phrase instead of 64 digits long number.
So you need to SHA256 hash the 32 char 'phrase' to get your 256bit unsigned integer or private key  
From there, it will be possible to derive the public key and then the uncompressed Base58 Address.
Producing the uncompressed base58 address from the private key involves multiple sha256 and RIPEMD160 hashing in a specific sequence.

https://en.bitcoin.it/w/images/en/9/9b/PubKeyToAddr.png

And for https://www.online-toolz.com/tools/text-hex-convertor.php converts your text into the corresponding HEX representation of code point of the character. (eg : a=61,b=62 )
If you provide, a 32 letters long word to the converter, it will return a 64 long digit (32x2) exactly the same length as the return of sha256(phrase) but completely different !
