== Bitcoin challenge transaction: ~1000 BTC total bounty to solvers! ==UPDATED==

[The_Prof]

it remains only theoretical and probabilistic the distribution is obviously not linear if not on range #64 by adding an additional character to 16jY7qLJnx ex H ==> 16jY7qLJnxH it should come out <1 but in this case there are 2 whereas for 16jY7qLJnx N or P only one address but it stands

I still do not understand what you are asking/implying.

In the 64-bit range, there should be an estimated 2,483 addresses that start with 16jY7qLJnx.

You are looking at a very small sample size in the list of addresses you posted.

I think he want to work on the law of averages. So work on either side of long gaps so to speak. I could be off base though.

It's strange did you notice that on #66 there is an output awaiting validation  2.07$  
https://www.blockchain.com/fr/explorer/addresses/btc/13zb1hQbWVsc2S7ZTZnP2G4undNNpdh5so
It is not validated so the pubkey is not broadcast but the scale takes it into account without any validation   Total Received 6.60036526 BTC   Final Bitcoin Balance 6.60028826
It doesn't exist on the other # yet. How can this happen?

It is not an output, is in input to the puzzle 66, nothing strange there.

[Lolo54]

ok albert0bsd but my remark came from the fact that the explorer shows $2.07 sent as well as the difference between the total received and the final balance...so why 

[albert0bsd]

Oh, you are rigth seems interesting.



But there is no any output

[Lolo54]

yes that's right that's why I said it's strange .....I try to understand how this can happen but

It looks like pending inputs from my side. Not sure anyone can confirm. They not outputs, just unconfirmed in. Available but not.

Strange thing. Just as strange is the history of the address from which the incoming payment comes. Check the last page (third) of the transaction history... it starts with an outgoing transaction. How in the world was BTC sent from an address to which there was no incoming transaction before?

I've seen that sometimes blockchain . com don't show all the TX history, check that address in https://mempool.space/ , they it show TX before November/22 for that address

[zielar]

OK you're right. A massacre like this blockchain.com is going to the dogs. The graphic design is getting worse, the information is getting less and less... soon you won't even be able to see balance of any wallet :-)

[digaran]

At least you guys know your way around explorers somewhat! When I go to one of them, it's like Bob in wonderland. I don't know why is it so hard for them to sort transactions as incoming, and outgoing, but instead they show you 200 other addresses just to inform you that your address has received coins from some other address, well I don't wanna be informed about other transactions of the sending address right away, just show me mine without confusing me with the rest. Lol.

No output

[digaran]

I just noticed, on the third Op post there is a ms windows coming soon! Haven't they come yet @Op? That's some legit viagra they use!🤣

[akaros]

I figured out that this setting never came to success because random base key is not in set range Anybody have correct code for this setting?

[noecp]

RTX 3060 (non Ti) = 2,400 MKey/s (2.4GKey/s)
RTX 3600 Ti = 2,800 MKey/s (2.8GKey/s)
RTX 3070  = 3,100 MKey/s (3.1GKey/s)
RTX 3090 = 5,250 MKey/s (5.2GKey/s)
RTX 4090 = 7,750 MKey/s (7.7 GKey/s) (yes, you read that right lol)

Great work

Your speed test without power limits ?

I make few fixes and now see small speed up.

now  RTX 3070(pl 170w) = 3217 Mkeys/s

I calc only dp32 for #125

I always cut power to 70% and adjust clocks.

Didn’t try without power limits.

I am running DP 32 as well but trailing bits versus leading.

Wow, look what I found!  I found it using my phone, I also have another one on laptop.

Imagine my face when I realized they are both different keys.🤣

And what? What success have you achieved?

[JohnSuu]

guys, windows is closing. we need a new method to solve ECDLP with wallet address only.

What do you mean by "windows is closing"?

Also, you can not solve the ECDLP problem using wallet address, because they are a hash of the public key, not the public key itself. Now it is theoretically possible that you break 160-bit space and find a private key that encodes into the exact same address, which can then be used in transactions to fool script verifiers since they only include the address hash in UTXOs. But that's a completely different matter.
