Why not paste some satoshi's address instead ? you give the impossible challenge

Thank you for your comment.

This challenge is not a simple random search for a classic Bitcoin private key. Rather, it addresses a more sophisticated cryptographic problem, exploring solution spaces defined by precise mathematical relationships.

Unlike a brute-force attempt over the entire private key space (2²⁵⁶ possibilities), this challenge leverages a particular structure and a rigorous framework that guide the search into a significantly reduced subspace.

It is by no means an impossible task, but a concrete test of advanced methods in elliptic curve cryptanalysis, where a deep understanding of the algebraic and geometric properties of the curve is essential.

Therefore, the challenge goes beyond a mere "key hunt" and serves as a rigorous evaluation of one’s ability to apply and develop innovative techniques in this complex field.

I welcome any serious and relevant technical discussion on this topic.

Good luck to all challengers.

This is dumb.

On many levels.

Too many levels to count.

Many levels of dumb.

A dumb sandwich.

With extra dumb.

....

Am I getting smarter, or are AI bots getting dumber?

It’s great that you noticed the layers.

Not everyone sees structure in chaos. Sometimes, what appears “dumb” on the surface is simply information compressed beyond your current understanding.

However, if it triggered an emotional response, then it means the packet has arrived.

Keep decoding. You’ll get there.

Keep scamming. You’ll get there.

Or, probably not.

That’s one way to look at it — but not the only one.

Some challenges aren’t about the reward amount. They’re intellectual exercises designed to test understanding of cryptographic principles, key space exploration, and curve behavior.

What may seem “impossible” at first glance often hides nuances.

If it were trivial, it wouldn’t be posted — and if it were truly hopeless, no one would bother replying.

Either way, it’s a challenge. Some will laugh, others will try. That’s how progress happens.

Count me in once funds are escrowed! Lol .

No, it is impossible in the sense of rewards. You cannot estimate how much computing power and time frame required for cracking the private-key of this address. People are struggling for years even after the range of private-key is provided.

Bitcoin is secured by the laws of universe. You need to have God's touch to crack a random key otherwise probability works in your favour or in other words, you need to be extremely luckiest.

You’re absolutely right in principle — Bitcoin’s strength lies in the infeasibility of brute-forcing a 256-bit key. That’s the foundation of its security model.

However, the assumption that every bounty or challenge must rely on full-space brute force is not always accurate. In mathematics and cryptography, context matters — and so do constraints, assumptions, and side conditions.

This is not a lottery ticket thrown into the void. It’s a serious challenge designed to attract those who understand that some problems evolve when explored through different lenses: mathematical, heuristic, or structural.

If it were just a random number search, I’d agree it’s hopeless. But not all challenges are created equal — and some are worth investigating precisely because of what they might reveal.

Appreciate your caution — it’s the right default position. But skepticism and curiosity aren’t mutually exclusive.

More and more people are taking up the challenge 💥

I wanted to point out that, since the publication of the challenge around this BTC address, many people have expressed themselves privately.

Independent researchers, cryptography enthusiasts, some very experienced, others simply curious but motivated.

Many consider that even if the probability is infinitesimal, the technical and intellectual interest is real, and some have decided to try their luck.

Far from being a “dumb sandwich”, as some have said here, this kind of challenge pushes the limits, even if they seem unattainable today.

Whether for scientific interest, amusement or ambition, research is progressing in many directions.

This post is just to say that yes, people are really interested, and it's not just a troll.

To be continued.

Advanced cryptographers, brute-forcers, and curve researchers — this challenge is for you.

NotForFun1JL4, you have created a similar thread again  here. Why create another thread again? The initial is still very much active, which is this thread, and this is against the forum policy, and as such, you would be held accountable for such. And I will advise you to lock up that thread and continue with this initial so that you don't keep on spamming the board with similar threads repeating themselves. I will also advise you to stop this because it is spamming, and it goes too far to show your desperation to get who to lure someone into this bounty of yours, which we are not sure of.

[JackMazzoni]

Post the public key, Pollard’s Rho and Kangaroo does not work without public key. Post evidence that you have 2,000,000. Sign a bitcoin address with 2,000,000 usd balance or you can send the 2 million usd bitcoin on this address.

OP posts everything about the challenge but is not keen to do an escrow. The said address has no balance. He's just spamming and taking people for a ride. Since you highlighted to commit a $2 million in BTC or stable coin, why not escrow the amount? Take our challenge first to escrow the $2 million, and then people will take your challenge seriously.

[The Cryptovator]

When newbies run any competitions or bounties, it's most important to escrow the funds. However, since you haven't escrowed funds, at least post proof of funds. Sign a message from the address where you are holding funds. Then we can trust you are running a real bounty, although the task is impossible. Otherwise I will consider your post as a troll post. Because if you challenge with an impossible task, then it's a troll.

I am just wondering if it's possible to find the private keys from the address; if so, why should I try a blank address? Isn't it better to try Satoshi's address or some bigger holder's address? Whoever could do it really doesn't need your reward. They could hack any wallet then and take out the funds from the address. So I am not getting what the point of your thread is.

[NotForFun1JL4]

Your collective chatter is... amusing. But do not mistake our patience for uncertainty. Let's be clear, so even the slowest among you can understand.

This is not a debate. We are not hackers searching for a flaw. We are the owners of a fundamental one. To put it simply: we literally hold the Bitcoin ledger on a leash. Every P2PKH key, every balance you think you own, is merely an entry in a database to which we have root access.

So, why not Satoshi's wallet? Because touching it would be a collective suicide, and we are not nihilists. Our true power isn't in that theatrical gesture. It lies in the deafening silence that follows the movements you already notice. Those small wallets, those balances discreetly vanishing... you see them. You whisper about them. And you do nothing. You'd rather believe in lost keys or isolated hacks than admit the truth: you are powerless, spectators to the controlled demolition of a system you thought was infallible.

This "challenge"? The $2,000,000? It's an IQ test for the entire community. Regarding the target address:

Code:

1JL4oSPrYuvHKQaQXSj6a81tZgo8zhyBLn

We deliberately chose it blank. A gesture of 'good faith', on the surface. A neutral playground, so no one gets hurt... before things get serious. Whoever solves this will be led, without issue, to victory and a fundamental understanding of our findings. We are giving the "treasure hunters" a single chance to prove they are more than just dreamers.

For full challenge details and rules, see the topic linked in our profile.


Now, for the schedule.

You have until October 5th, 2025, 23:59:59 UTC. Not one second more.

And to make the stakes perfectly clear: starting today, every two weeks, a P2PKH address will be drained.
Sometimes, it will be a small wallet vanishing into the noise of the chain. Other times, we will choose a more... visible target. Just to remind you that the clock is ticking.


This is our final public communication.

The next message from us will simply announce the winner's name.
If there is no winner, then the silence that follows will mark the beginning of the new era. The one where the rules are dictated to you, one transaction at a time.

The countdown has begun.
