Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Hi guys.
I have found one BTC address that has a 0 bytes private key. It only has a fraction of bitcoin, but still better then nothing. I was wondering, as it has no outgoing transaction, the private key is unknown. Is it worth to try to brute force this wallet, assuming the private key is 0X00? Why i am asking here is simply because the first wallets of this puzzle were cracked in a blink of an eye. I try to understand how did it worked. Is it something was recovered a private key from only a P2PKH address? Or is it something that i have to find a collision point and that is 2^120? I am totally noob in this case. Sorry if my question sound stupid.

did you get it yet?
Nope, for one reason - i simply don't know how and if it is really worth it. If i will have to set my 6XGPU rig for a year or a decade just to get a few thousand $, then i just leave it. But if it is a simple stuff to do - then i would like to know more about this stuff. And if i succeed then i split 50/50 with the one that helps me.

I'm curious about your "hobby". Do you only those HDD only to look abandoned wallet? Don't you use it for other hobby/task such as running BitTorrent/IPFS software or extra backup of certain data?
Nor really sure what you talking about
Is it something that i can search for Bitcoins? Cuz now what i do is simply run disk Drill and see if i find "peers.dat", "Wallet.dat", "BTC", "Seed" and other Bitcoin related keywords. You bought the HDD or it belongs to someone? What you bought suppose not to have non deleted files. But if it has files that are not yet deleted, why do you want to steal someone's wallet.
You can not have access to the wallet with the pubkey. No bitcoin private key that is long up to 90 characters.
If it is not your wallet, you do not need to make any effort to recover the wallet. You said you bought the HDD. If this is not a made up story, it is better you avoid malware.

Indeed i buy old HDDsevery saturday in the yard market for God knows since,when. Ihave houndreds of them in my garage. And i buy them for only one reason - in search of old abandoned wallets. Once i was lucky to find a wallet with 3 BTC back in time when it cost €3000/BTC, so all of my spendings (old HDDs cost not more than €5/pc), paied back. That is why i continue this "hobby". So now I've stumbled upon something that is not a wallet.dat and i can not figure out how to open it.
