Re: Building a public server for the Bitcoin Puzzle Transactions | Kangaroo/Bitcrack
I actually wondered with regards to TTD's 64's pool (I use btw). I am not saying this is happening at all, unlikely but think of the scenario
We mine to a pool like TTD. in the background TTD is receiving back all addresses and private keys. They could potentially have a bloom filter with a list of all addresses with a balance. checking every key against that. Basically making a cracking pool. I know the odds are still astronomical but it could be done. but would it ever be profitable? searching for more keys than just a single puzzle tx?
I am not condoning this btw, I would never steal, it's just a theory.

Other addresses ~#256: It is impossible
The beautiful thing about the built in server functionality of kangaroo, is that you can only search one public key at a time preventing any potentially criminal cracking activity from happening. the pool is currently open, we just need to have the discussion of how to fairly split the 120 prize.
This is what I was meaning. It's a fun idea. I have a couple of 3070's id be tempted to put towards a puzzletx
