Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Puzzle 69 is the last puzzle for software developer. Next puzzles will be for embedded engineers with hi-end FPGA and people with a huge amount of money for ASIC prototyping. But it is really difficult to develop asic crystal with secp256k1 logic.
You guys are aware that XOR-ing some key with some whatever bits, produced in whatever way, is basically the same thing as using some whatever bits as the key, right? That's like, bit logic 101 knowledge.
