Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
I would also say that solving 80 bits, with some proper Tame precomputed database (with way less than half a billion DPs) takes much less than 20 seconds, even on a budget GPU. There is a precise balance where having too many DPs (of lower bits) is not beneficial, and having fewer DPs (of higher bits) is better overall.
Yep. But now, let’s say you’ve got a bot with a pre-calculated DP. Puzzle 71 can be solved in, like, 2 seconds on a CPU as soon as the public key pops up. It’s a huge problem if folks ain’t using MARA slipstream, if you ask me.
Provided that anyone ever solves puzzle 71.
Even if you solve it, it’s uncertain who will get the prize. So how does that fit into a fair puzzle race? This is the perfect example of a scam.
Not scam. Bram and rc get the price
