Hello guys, i've been trying to randomly bruteforce puzzle #64 for WEEKS in a row. I was using Bitcoincrack to randomly Bruteforce addresses that share the same 7 letters of 16jY7qLJnxb7CHZyqBP8qca9d51gAjyXQN.
after bitcoincrack generated today 1000 addresses that share the same first 7 address characters, i have always looked for the last 3 characters of the generated addresses to go through the addresses quickly and see if #64 16jY7qLJnxb7CHZyqBP8qca9d51gAjyXQN is on the list.
and indeed, i saw an addresses that ends with the last 3 characters "XQN" that the original puzzle 64 address have. And the moment i saw XQN, i freaking screamed I WON 30K EUROS and smashed couple of glass bottles and went quickly to say and to celebrate with my friends.
after my friends came, we checked the address again and it was NOT the address i was looking for. it was so embarrassment, and i'm now broken and sad as hell.
What are the odds that i find the last 3 characters, that i'm looking for in the range 64? ITS pretty much low, that's why i thought i found the 0.64 BTC. but unfortunately not. I should be the unluckiest guy ever...
Here is the Address, i thought i got the 0.64 bitcoin from it.
isn't that sad story?
