Re: Bitcoin Puzzle ... Free money to the first to solve it.

Im not sure why anyone would waste their time pretending to make a puzzle to give away bitcoin? But. I understand the skepticism ... Just here for fun and education.

Well, yeah, it's all for fun.

Please include the signed message, because we can't verify it if you only gave us signature.

Here's the address in the qr btw with 0.024+

I did. Here you go!

Sign verified and this confirms that you are not wasting anyone's time. Sorry that you had to go through this. Reality is that there are a lot of fake people around here who aim to waste the time of the forum users.

Good luck with the project bud.

Thanks now lets focus in the puzzle, 0.024btc are good motivation to find that privatekey, as hint we know the key start with 5, so we can take that number out of the line and permute the other characters, i think for a moment it could be done with some bruteforce but crunch say we need 8876PB for this, so, by brute force isn't an option:

Code:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ crunch 1 1 -p MBfrbCq7yfvVDT2xrpfmZ4KWTNpbXJgdYHzWG8t19yMbUvsP9vK
Crunch will now generate approximately the following amount of data: 9994050523088551936 bytes
9531069300736 MB
9307684864 GB
9089536 TB
8876 PB
Crunch will now generate the following number of lines: 18284192274659147776
