So if I have an old public key how can I tell how many bits that pkey is ? (to run it in pollard kan)

paste your pubkey

I have imported 27,000 completed ranges into the pool DB.  I did it in such a way as to not affect any ones current stake.  It will just increase our chances of finding the solution a little sooner.

Very nice this will help us not scanning these already scanned ranges again 

great work

bitcoin projections for year-end, do you have serious sources to follow?

Can you tell me the way to achieve that?

[Ovix_02]

That is a very optimistic scenario.  Especially when you take into consideration the fact that the pool has covered only 0.044592% of the entire range.  In reality if you have fast GPU(s) you could join the pool and mine with us for the weeks/months that it is going to take and then when it is found you would be getting a very sizable chunk of the $6000 pie.  If you don't have fast gpus then you have no place to complain because you aren't going to find it alone either making your slice of the pie zero.

The chances of finding it immediately after joining is extremely low at this point. It is possible but unlikely.

The pool is still in the beginning and now like anything just getting started is the best time to get on board to secure your slice of the pie.

I like to think I did not create the pool to get a bigger slice of the pie.  I did it to cook the pie faster.  That being said my slice gets smaller with every new range submitted by another user.

Give it a try and you will see that.

Ok. But explain to me why, when I start your client I have 2 targets, respectively two BTC addresses, at each scanned range. One is for #64 but the other for what? For your database?
Be fair, man!
I'll tell you what you do with the database created with the help of the contributors. You will have access to those addresses and if ever they are used you will steal from those wallets everything. This is the truth, no matter what you say and how many bullshit say about your pool.

The second target is used for proof of work.  The private key that is found when scanning the range is used to find the range marker in the DB to mark it checked.
They are located at random locations throughout the individual ranges.

what type of range you mean ? those 27,000 are range of what size ?!!
I am still want to join your pool but need Ubunto version first 

[ttdclient]

When I refer to a range I am being specific to the way I have configured the pool.  A single range in this case is 2^36 or 000000000 - FFFFFFFFF or 68,719,476,736 Keys.

I tried to select a range size that would not complete too quickly on new hardware and still be acceptable to run on slower hardware.

With the range set at this size that splits the entire 64 bit challenge into 2^27 ranges or 134,217,728.  So that is the size of the DB containing every range in either a checked or unchecked form.  The more people we have helping the quicker they get checked.

The pool is now running ~6.25 billion keys a second and has around 80 users.  Only about 10 are active currently though.  I was kind of hoping someone would unleash a garage full of 8 gpu mining rigs on it at some point but that has not happened yet to my knowledge.

so and my question is still in air, what y gona do when there would be 1865156715671567841784 range?

1865156715671567841784
                      6000000000 billions?

[ttdclient]

I more then likely will not worry about it because when a challenge it too difficult I tend to focus my efforts on something more achievable.

I think it is about the number of batches issued for calculation. 27,000 size ranges in hex FFFFFFFF.

it also could be FF

I have a client almost ready to go for ubuntu but I need to work with you to test if you are willing.  Please create an account and email me from the user stats page so we can get it figured out.  I have ubuntu but no gpus to test with from linux only windows.

[ttdclient]

I have a Ubuntu version on the user stats page.  I have tested it with Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

extract zip to folder of your choice.  edit settings.ini to reflect your username and bitcrack settings

chmod 755 ttdclient

a copy of bit crack needs to be in the same folder

The client expects to find either clbitcrack or cubitcrack

then run
./ttdclient

Let me know if you have any questions

[uhlik]

I started mining but I had to stop due to technical changes in configuration. Now I see on stats page I requested some ranges which will never be completed because I cancelled client. When will be those ranges offered again to miners? Is there a way to stop client after range is done without getting next range? I mean some way to stop client when needed but without interrupting range already taken to work. Can you implement some hotkey to quit client after current range is solved?

[ttdclient]

Only submitted ranges are unavailable

A requested range that was never submitted is still just as available as an unrequested range.

I really don't understand why on-topic messages are being deleted by mods in this thread.

It's not like we're breaking Bitcoin itself. An open discussion regarding this challenge will actually encourage improvements in security.

Mods maybe understand
after my these research there were no more improvments in security

There are many research tools, all are about Brute Force, scanning etc, but they must understand  every calc required those tools, like in my calc, also people could use kangroo scripts for scanning in bit range, which one is last in tools creating series, for pubkey search, next kangroo gpu ver soon coming, and make the puzzle finder more closer,
currently some people created groupwise scanning by bitcrack for 64 puzzle
and my research related to kangroo scanning + my exact calc

anyway we can't comment on MODs decisions

check if they dont have objection then let me Proof Exact

and i will not reveal exact formula's and will not participate in puzzle 110

-----------\
Proof of Exact 110 puzzle lead by 100 bit

only full member or most senior memebers can test my Proof

you will Generate key pair inside 110 bit range
you will post only pubkey from 110
i will post 2048 pubkeys inside 100 bit range
you will post prvkey
i will post 1 pubkey which one will exist in 100 bit (2048) corresponding to 110 bit range pubkey
simple 4 post you will understand "Exact"
it will save time of search in future for puzzle solver

You are talking in riddles  

Can you explain why exactly 2^11 (2048)? And what do you mean by [i will post 1 pubkey which one will exist in 100 bit (2048) corresponding to 110 bit range pubkey] How is this "corresponding" measured?
