Guyz im working on these puzzle since 2y ago i never shared anything but i have to say please rush to find answers people im coming to solve all of them soon

The creator lied 🤥 there is a pattern which is made by superrr smart way i just found it by a silly mistake i shocked asffffff just need time and some more mathematics to solve more but soon all gonna be solve ))

k pls just hurry up so we can call it a day

If you really solved this, then congratulations. However, I'd be careful about making such claims. I've been at this on and off since 2019, and on several occasions I've thought I'd found mathematical patterns, and on a few of those occasions I've even been convinced, but none of them held up. I've also delved into visual patterns, on both the already claimed keys, and on the addresses.

Sadly I don't have the hardware to brute force, so pattern finding is essentially my only option. Nevertheless, I have my computer trying one of the so far unclaimed keys. Based on the number of keys it tries every minute, I will, statistically, be at it for about a billion years.

Hi!
When will you find the private key?
How to withdraw?
Through what program?
Bitcrack works
(66)
First number 9

Hi. Are you sure you've found the key to the still unresolved address?

I will transfer funds to here : bc1q4kp7qr5ylr2vnylvqqs57mz4e4hpq28kkgh40y

Doit... LOL isn't the first time that somebody claims that. And all others also failed to do that.

There is a lot of Newbie accounts with only one single message spamming the post recently, fuck them all

Not that I have ever claimed to have solved this, and in spite of being a newbie I'm just as amused as you are by those who do claim to have done it.
And yes, I do work on pattern finding (mathematical as well as visual) and statistical approaches, and have done since I first discovered this challenge in 2019. With the hardware and the budget available to me, brute forcing would be ridiculous. A billion years or more to find a single key. Sure I could stumble on it tomorrow. But I could do that with pattern finding and statistics as well, and even if I do not, I find trying to think of new ways to discover patterns or statistical relations intellectually stimulating, and even if I don't get a single sat out of this, I may have gained some insights into things I might use elsewhere.
That said, given that I'm a newbie on this forum, and that before this one I've only posted one message, who will you send to fuck me? Please say she's a gorgeous brunette.

Hi, I am new here, and I have read a lot regarding the ECDLP topic and try to understand how does it works, may I ask you all what computational power does the puzzles 130 needed to be solved? I am curious whether people will try to rent for GPU and solve for #130. Thanks.

[holy_ship]

what computational power does the puzzles 130 needed to be solved

if you have 56core/256GB server, you'll check about 12 exakeys per sec

2^129 / 11344588059320129643 / 3600*24 = ?

after 1_902_338_144_733  years AT MOST you'll become rich, but with this probability 1/680564733841876926926749214863536422912 you'll find PK in first second. Feel lucky? (haha)

p.s. if you pay $200 per month for server, you'll pay 1902338144733*200*12 = ?

4_565_611_547_359_200 dollars

so, it's only reasonable if you do not pay for server

Does anyone know where I can find vanitysearch for sm89/ccap89. All the links to vanitysearch on the first page give me 404 errors. Thanks

this is true if you go through all the values ​​without taking into account entropy.

Of course, if you try to generate a random number of 10 bits a billion times, you can get the number 0. But if you try to generate a random number of 66 bits, it becomes impossible to get the number 0. In this way, you need to ignore values ​​that with the maximum probability could not be a private key.

But if you try to generate a random number of 66 bits, it becomes impossible to get the number 0. In this way, you need to ignore values ​​that with the maximum probability could not be a private key.

For 10 bits and a billion random trials you'll get the number 0 around 976562 times, on average.

If we replace each possible value from 0 to 2**66 - 1 with some emoticon for a thing in the universe, what exactly makes 0 to be more special than some other value? The values are just labels, it makes zero sense to discriminate them. The only valid affirmation you have is that there is a 100% chance that some random value in some 2**66 set of elements is contained in the set. It doesn't matter how you look at them.

Also, it would be weird as well if somehow the maximum probability solution (some value with maximum entropy and with exactly 33 bits of zeros and 33 bits of ones, in some arrangement that has the least possible compression form) is the one that's correct. So, why not exclude stuff from the other end of this mindset as well? It's like: if you throw a coin in the air 100 times, chances are very low you'll get a 50/50, but still, these are the maximum chances as well.

Does anyone still happen to have the public keys for all of the solved puzzles?   Like starting from puzzle number 1 upto number 65 for example?   Just was curious since usually only the private key is listed after a puzzle is solved.  But knowing what the public keys were helps greatly too.  Maybe you will reply here later if you have that list of values,  thanks
