Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Question for everyone.
Do you have anymore questions to ask?? 😂
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
There’s a 50/50 chance that it could be the creator, but even I can’t confirm this. The reason I say so is because when puzzle #120 was solved, if RetiredCoder was the actual solver, you’d expect the creator to wait for the private keys to be revealed before funding the remaining addresses with 1000 BTC. Instead, without knowing who solved it or how it was solved, the creator immediately increased the prize to 1000 BTC.
Another suspicious point is that puzzles #66 and #130 were both solved in the same month. While this could be a coincidence, it still raises questions. The sad part is that we’ll probably never know the truth since the creator isn’t coming forward to address the criticism or clarify any of these doubts.

Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
It's honestly sad to hear that RetiredCoder got bored after just a month of managing a GPU network... it sounds really exhausting right?. I mean, was he expecting the GPUs to work themselves, serve him coffee, and entertain him with a light show?
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
may have some connection with the creator of this puzzle.
Are you going to start with that BS? Why as soon somebody has some success, everyone start talking about conspiration Theories? WHY?
There is no way to prove or disprove it. So there is no sense of keep talking in that way.
If I hadn’t started this BS theory, we’d likely still be waiting over a year for RetiredCoder to reach his 100 merit points. Thanks to nomachine and Akito for supporting my BS Theories and helping make it possible for everyone to understand how Puzzles 120, 125, and 130 were solved.
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Congratulations! This was all part of a psychological trick I created to get the puzzle solver or creator to come forward and clear up any doubts we had. Once again, congratulations!
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Meanwhile, 3Emi...YESs probably already spinning up his ASICs for 135.
Everybody can see that the same person has solved three puzzles in a row, but still there are people who think that they can solve #135 faster.
Well, good luck
At first, you can clearly see that he acted as if he had never solved those puzzles. But once we exposed the creator, who removed puzzles 120, 125, and 130, he suddenly started claiming he solved them all — 120, 125, and 130.

In his previous post, @RetiredCoder mentioned having 20 RTX 4090 GPUs and claimed to have used the kangaroo algorithm to solve the puzzle.
He mention that he use his own optimized kangaroo version, so what we can deduce from this is that the JeanLucPons kangaroo's version wasn't enough efficient as expected.
Go ahead and look at his optimised Kangaroo then.

Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
If the signature provided is actually valid, then @RetiredCoder may have some connection with the creator of this puzzle. I believe what really happened is that when the creator realized he messed up the timing and decision to remove puzzles 120, 125, and 130, he decided to offer the puzzle-solving community a “lollipop” (mini puzzle) as a way to make up for it.
In his previous post, @RetiredCoder mentioned having 20 RTX 4090 GPUs and claimed to have used the kangaroo algorithm to solve the puzzle. But, realistically, does anyone here believe it’s technically possible to crack 130 bits in just two months?

I solved #120, #125 and #130 for now
I still do not believe you solved these, or was the first to solve 120. You could easily sign a message for 125 and 130 to prove this. Maybe you did and I missed it? Or are you still waiting for your merit points to be "bumped" up before doing so?The fact that he’s hesitant to sign a message to prove he solved puzzle #125 and #130 clearly suggests he’s not being truthful. Plus, if you look at the mini-puzzle he started, it seems suspicious. The user "sneeky777," who solved the mini-puzzle, appears to be Retired Coder himself using a secondary ID. The ID "sneeky777" registered on the same day, October 14th, when Retired Coder posted the mini-puzzle.

Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
20 GPUs solved puzzle #130?
I also do something similar to this. 20 GPUs are not enough. This speed is impossible. It must be a three-digit number of graphics cards, even if you change the BIOS for the GPUs and use a different CUDA kernel.
Maybe he purchased GPU's from Alibaba 😂
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
I have the feeling that RetiredCoder is the creator of the puzzles himself.
No, he’s not the creator of this puzzle. The creator removed puzzle #120 to make the total prize 1000 BTC. Retired Coder shared the private key for puzzle #120 after a year, and in the thread below, he clearly mentions he has 20 PC of the RTX 4090(maybe he's lying).
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5512304.msg64643001#msg64643001
If you look at the timing of puzzles #125 and #130, there’s just a two-month gap between them. So, do you still believe that in just two months, Retired Coder created a 1TB distinguished points table with 20 GPUs and also solved puzzle #130?
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Hello everyone, maybe someone will be interested:
if this puzzle is a deterministic wallet, and if each subsequent private key becomes 2x harder, the bitcoin at that address also doubles,can it then its seed phrase is 1.2.4.8.16.32.64.128.256.512.1024.2048. be it might just be nonsense.
2^0 2^1 2^2 2^3 2^4 … 2^11
1.2.4.8.16.32.64.128.256.512.1024.2048.
abandon ability about abstract acid advance among avocado cable divide lend zoo
If it turns out as I said, I think that the person who finds the solution will give me a refund.
sorry for bad english

What does the creator say to this?
can you comment?
The creator already answered your question by taking out Puzzle #120, 125 &130 just after JLP revealed his source code for Kangaroo algorithm.
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Where are all the people who said the creator of the puzzles solved 120, 125 and 130 ?
Where are they ?
Just because you have no programming knowledge and you are waiting for JLP, AlbertoBSD, WanderingPhilosopher, Nomachine, Alek76 and Brichard to produce something so you use it for free and solve the puzzles doesn't mean everyone else is doing the same.
Think about it, if one of these people I named, produces something that gives the user an edge to solve the puzzles easily, do you think he will release it to the public ? He would use it himself privately, the puzzles are worth a lot.
I have another theory for you: Where are they ?

The reason the creator removed these puzzles could be that, when JLP officially made the Kangaroo source code public, they realized this method was highly cost-efficient for solving the puzzles. Since the source code is publicly available, anyone with multiple GPUs could crack them within a few years, or even by luck, making it much more cost-effective compared to the prize.

JLP did a great job by making his work open-source. Though when I see K=2.08, or 3-4GH on 4090, or his code, or that annoying bug with displayed speed higher than real speed, problems with handling large db, etc... Yeah, it definitely looks like free open source
Anyway, it's a great start point.
I think he used JLP code for this puzzle 120
Judging by his posts, it's doubtful. Why does any time a puzzle is solved, the only option available is "they used JLP code"? Is he like the one and only and the best coder that ever existed? The God of puzzle solving?
JLP code showed its strength by solving Puzzle 115, and no wonder it could also be used for solving Puzzle 120. Let's wait for @RetiredCoder's reply.
