Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
I think that if the creator was to come here and give us hints, this would defeat the purpose of his creation which is to measure our cracking capabilities.
Can't really be giving out hints in an experiment like this one, we must check our own leads and see what comes out of it.
Prize: 988.498 BTC (total), 31.998 BTC (won), 956.5 BTC (remaining)
His 956 BTC is relatively safe even the whole world knows the ranges where the private keys are.
I sometimes think that the creator has been withdrawing the BTC from the undisclosed wallets in recent years, I see no reason why someone who unlocks the puzzle should not share their keys anonymously once the wallet is emptied, either that or there is a possible sequence that we are not seeing.
Behind the creation of this puzzle is a 100% mathematician scientist. And it was not created to test the security of Bitcoin. But for your own purposes. 1000 coins is the minimum deposit to get more. As a rule, there is no point in testing brute force and this is understandable. But it makes sense to look for vulnerabilities in the curve. And even a person without education can stumble upon a vulnerability and not understand what it is, but write about it in the topic. And the creator, for example, will be able to understand what to do with it and calmly gain access to wallets with a huge balance, recouping their costs.
