Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
This puzzle is very strange. If it's for measuring the world's brute forcing capacity, 161-256 are just a waste (RIPEMD160 entropy is filled by 160, and by all of P2PKH Bitcoin). The puzzle creator could improve the puzzle's utility without bringing in any extra funds from outside - just spend 161-256 across to the unsolved portion 51-160, and roughly treble the puzzle's content density.
If on the other hand there's a pattern to find... well... that's awfully open-ended... can we have a hint or two?

I am the creator.
You are quite right, 161-256 are silly. I honestly just did not think of this. What is especially embarrassing, is this did not occur to me once, in two years. By way of excuse, I was not really thinking much about the puzzle at all.
I will make up for two years of stupidity. I will spend from 161-256 to the unsolved parts, as you suggest. In addition, I intend to add further funds. My aim is to boost the density by a factor of 10, from 0.001*length(key) to 0.01*length(key). Probably in the next few weeks. At any rate, when I next have an extended period of quiet and calm, to construct the new transaction carefully.
A few words about the puzzle. There is no pattern. It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty). It is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community.
Finally, I wish to express appreciation of the efforts of all developers of new cracking tools and technology. The "large bitcoin collider" is especially innovative and interesting!
Can you match the creator of riddles? My question is that the puzzle range is now very large and almost impossible with the current search power, do you have potential tips or tips for us? While the purpose of the creators of riddles may be something other than our thinking, but if the puzzle guidance is provided, more people will be able to solve the rest of the puzzles and this is called the puzzle search, I didn't understand the reason for their name
? The puzzle is usually done by laying pieces of answers or solutions, and in these cases bitcoin puzzles are the same? That we can tell that puzzle ?You're literally spamming this thread.
The creator is here to test current hardware performance and push its limits.
Within the next four years or even sooner, puzzle 71 will be a thing of the past.
The creator's goal is to benchmark hardware, not to hand out free keys so please stop the noise and focus on solving the puzzle !!!
You continue to solve the puzzle very hopeless, but it is possible to solve the puzzle for the next 71 to 4 days.
