The cost of breaking 135 is closer to 1 million $, for a 99.999% chance of success. That is only the price for paying the electricity bill. You also need a bullet-proof distributed management system to sync data.
Relying on luck without a risk strategy will just end up as losing time and money.
Tens of thousands will get you nowhere, unless your risk ratio is around 1 to 1000. Very low chances you'd get to the solution with that amount.

I have never used GPU for puzzle searching.
Only keyhunt, I like it and I enjoy playing with the "spaces".

Question... with a GPU system is it possible to search for multiple public addresses together or just one?
do software that use GPU accept a .txt file like the one generated by keysubtracter?

no technique, no artifact, no math.
Only the IMPROBABLE luck will give the chance to discover the puzzles 135-140-145-150-155-160.

Unless you invest tens of thousands of $ in GPU and electricity + time.

How do bots anticipate the transfer transaction if a puzzle wallet is found ?
............... You can look at the history here some people have discussed this and posted versions of their bot code.


"here" do you mean in this thread or is there a link?
thanks

Stop looking for logic, all the addresses of the puzzle are random.
And using python is 100% a waste of energy.
Don't dream idly.
Search in a small space (for 66 or 130) and hope for luck.

All wallets in the puzzle were simply created randomly within their exponent.
There is no point in engaging in any type of hypothesis/study.

This is my opinion.

I totally agree, look at the % of the Range column

#puzzle  Private Key Range                  Private Key                 % of the Range
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1     1...1 (2^0...2^1-1)                                  1                   --> 100%
2     2...3 (2^1...2^2-1)                                  3                   --> 100%
3     4...7 (2^2...2^3-1)                                  7                   --> 100%
4     8...f (2^3...2^4-1)                                  8                   --> 0%
...........................
                                                           

I see that I'm not the only one who made this table :-)

best way to search with keyhunt is to go for sectors of 5% each randomly.
Maybe starting from the end between 100%-95% and 95%-90% of the range.....

and 2^130 which requires a search between 2^129 and 2^130 equals 680,564,733,841,876,926,926,749,214,863,536 km.
therefore 71,986,683,526 light years (almost 72 billion).
I agree with the great luck with random and many subkeys....but many.

If you tried brute forcing 130, then yes, however, since we know the public key, you would use Kangaroo or BSGS. With Kangaroo, you’d be looking at roughly the same amount of ops as 66.

yeah, i mean with BSGS and a lot of subkeys

It's not that I'm a pessimist but every time I think about the magnitude of the spaces we face I get chills  Undecided
For example, in puzzle 66 the number of possible positions is 36893488147419103231. To understand this it is necessary to resort to an analogy. If each of those numbers were a millimeter, that would be equivalent to 3901.95 light years!!!
Any attempt at sequential search is then ruled out outright. Only with methods like kangaroo or bsgs would there be a possibility if the public key was known.
By the way, I leave a py script to help find the public key from the public address.

and 2^130 which requires a search between 2^129 and 2^130 equals 680,564,733,841,876,926,926,749,214,863,536 km.

EC is a spiral curve like spring
Nice graphic. It won't help us much with the methods we're using here.

can open your mind to new ideas such as keymath and keydivision..

Re: Someone just sent 26 BTC to genesis block address

To be honest, I really don't know what to think about this transaction, at this point I think that it's better if this person did it on purpose because at least it means that they knew exactly what they were doing. If it's been a mistake, wow, I really don't know what I would do at this point, maybe this guy has a ton of bitcoins anyway, who knows...

see the Chart of BTC address where did the 27 BTC come from.
first transaction 13 december 2023.
