Keyhunt - development requests - bug reports

[albert0bsd]

hi albert0bsd
i want to try keyhunt
is there a compiled copy of keyhunt to work on windows

There are some but I don't recommend run any of them.

Try it from WSL it will work better

[_ic0nic_]

I'm fairly new to the internal functionalities (which I'm trying to figure out as I go lol).
So, I've gone thru the demo shown in the readme but when I ran the command, I get the error:

Code:

$ time ./keyhunt -m bsgs -t 6 -f tests/in.txt -r 49dccfd96dc5df56487436f5a1b18c4f5d34f65ddb48cb5e0000000000000000:49dccfd96dc5df56487436f5a1b18c4f5d34f65ddb48cb5effffffffffffffff -n 0x1000000000000000 -M -s 0

I am on a macbook (I should've invested in a dam hp laptop or something, but oh well) and it's the legacy version.
I used the same file and same command prompt as shown in the readme so I don't know what the problem could be.

Thanks in advance though, if a solution arises. 

It works for me on WSL. Check if the public keys in the in.txt file are valid.

Code:

I believe it's because you aren't using the legacy version 

I'm guessing you compiled with

Code:

make

and not

Code:

make legacy

as your version does not indicate that your using the legacy version.

Then again, I am running all of this off of the macbook terminal...

What about endomorphism?

I can use it 130 bit puzzle ? BSGS

If I add -e . It is advantage?

Some say I can use it in puzzles, some say I can't use it in puzzles. What is the situation? Which one is right ?
Is it useful when searching for 130 bit puzzles in bsgs?

My brother, when searching for 130 puzzles in keyhunt bsgs mode, it gets faster when you add the -e command. Do you think it is good to use this?
Some people say it cannot be used in puzzles, some say it can be used. What is the certainty on this matter?
After all, the range of puzzle 130 is clear. Would it be useful to use the -e command?

[satashi_nokamato]

Do you even know what endomorphism is? There are a few 256 bit scalars and when you multiply your public key by them, the results will have the same y coordinates as your public key. So if you are using -e, you will end up with a 256 bit result.

Endomorphism doesn't work with BSGS



It is written in the documentation, it is not clear?

[coinchief228]

Thanks for the amazing program! Question about BSGS modes -- does K have to be a power of 2? Could you use something like -k 1536 and still get correct results? I have enough RAM to run with a K of 1024 but not 2048 so I was looking to run in the middle.

Or perhaps I could still run with 1024 but adjust the value of N instead?

What is it? Maybe someone can give me a hint.

[anjilite7]

how big the difference between speed in Cygwin and WSL versions of Keyhunt?

Is not obvious? well if not it is the key range that is beginning to be scanned

how big the difference between speed in Cygwin and WSL versions of Keyhunt?

In my opinion WSL is faster. But just do your own test.

How to view blm files？What info is stored in tbl file?

To be honest you dont need view them, they contain thee bloom filter data, it is a probabilistic datastructure that use an array of bits to store collision of hashed data, if you see that bit array it will like a random data without any sense to the human brain.

If anyone is using keyhunt on an AMD processor, try compiling it with AOCC.
I got a +13% performance increase on Zen2 architecture compared to GCC-12, 13 and 14.
It would be interesting to see tests on Zen4 architecture.

I have a zillion errors when compiling  with Clang . Need to remove all Intel Intrinsics (__builtin_ia32_) in code . These intrinsics are specific to Intel processors and are not compatible with AMD processors.

[davidk111]

Sorry if this is posted in wrong thread. Started using keyhunt a couple weeks ago.

My question is if I was lucky enough to ever get one of the bitcoin private keys how do you use it to get into the wallet?
Is there a certain wallet you download to enter the key and get in or ?
I searched but only thing I found was something on downloading the electrum bitcoin wallet and using that but when I downloaded and checked that out
the string they tell you to put in before the key depending on the first couple of characters of the wallet address does not match up at all with the characters
of wallet 66 or that matter with most if not all the other wallets unless I am missing something obvious.

Any help would be appreciated

[albert0bsd]

My question is if I was lucky enough to ever get one of the bitcoin private keys how do you use it to get into the wallet?

If you are asking this I sugest to you stop using keyhunt right now and start reading the basics about this:

https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

About the wallets you can use some light wallets like
Electrum

Also Sparrow wallet is Good (I personally prefer this one)

Remember it cost nothing ask in google or even those AI bots like chatgpt, those are a really good staring point.

Hi everyone.
First, sorry by my english.

Ok, i wanna to understand about the very comments that say when public key puzzle 66 show up, that will be cracked and will use the private key to redirect the transaction.

If that is true, and I get about the hugeness of range that possible 256bits, my question is, why then the people don't use that algoritm, for example, to crack the "04678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4cef3 8c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d578a4c702b6bf11d5f" pubkey from satoshi or any other known public key with huge btc amount?

Once the puzzle reveals 66 pubkeys, it is solved within seconds because the scanning range is small. BUT even if a 256-bit wallet has a pubkey, it is impossible to decrypt it because the scanning range is incredibly large.
While 1 graphics card is enough to solve puzzle 66 in seconds
A large number of graphics cards are required to decrypt a 256-bit wallet. millions, billions, trillions, I hope you understand.

So, try to solve, any of this low bits puzzle, 66,67,68 ... is useless, cause there are many bots watching this addresses for their public key right?

If so, why still people discussing about it anyway?

And second, why didn't it with puzzle 64?

Yes, bots are waiting in wait. The moment a sucker waits for puzzle number 66 and sends the transaction to the network, Pubkey will appear and bots will steal it within seconds.
puzzle 64 reward was 0.64 and bitcoin value was low then also software bots were not that advanced. Currently the reward is 6.6 BTC and bots are waiting in ambush
