Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
So yes, if you fund key 42 with no conditions, whoever signs first owns it. In the puzzle, the first signer already exists; a bot that shoves their transaction aside is just pickpocketing at mempool speed.
So untrue.... "Whoever moves the coins safely to his/her wallet owns the coins".
Bots are part of the competition, do you think the owner did not know that this RBF war would happen ?
Whoever has tried this challenge now fully knows why you shouldn't create a weak private key all thanks to bots.
The puzzle creator openly puts the coins in addresses meant to be cracked and even thanks the community for building new cracking tools. That is an implied green light: the only way to claim the prize is to derive the key, and the owner clearly intends that to happen. No computer system is being broken into and the funds are not protected by anything but the puzzle itself, so there is no “unauthorized access” under computer-crime laws. It is a public bounty, not theft. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306983.msg18765941#msg18765941
Another thing, a bitcointalk forum post doesn't verify ownership of a bitcoin address, when Retiredcoder posted here the first time no one believed him till he signed a message from adresses 125 and 130, when Bram posted here he signed a message from his own address containing moved coins from address 67, the main reason "signed messages" were added to bitcoin wallet is to verify ownership.
What if we wake up tomorrow and someone signs multiple messages with addresses 140 to 160 saying he/she is the rightful owner of these coins, it was never a challenge, never intended for it to be bruteforced, an unfortunate circumstance happened and he/she went to jail for the last 10years, released recently and found out people are bruteforcing his/her coins, has now made a complaint to the authorities about this....
Would you still believe that bitcointalk forum post
I think peoples' greed and lack of money clouds their judgment here.
If the owner wanted to prove legitimate ownership to these coins, nothing stops him signing a message with addresses 150, 155 and 160, state his intent about the coins and paste in a public forum.

Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Why is every one saying or assuming that 67 was not profitable??
The solver's answer says so
I see, one more question how many GPUs did you use to find it?
Several thousand
Calculate several thousand GPUs by 67 days paid rental,
the only other option he hinted is that it was found by a pool, then I will believe it was profitable.

Event: Germany Oberliga Bremen
Match: Aumund-Vegesack vs Geestemunde
Tip: Totals over 3.5
Odds: 1.4
They are two high scoring teams, I would have chosen over 4.5 but just to be on the safer side, I chose an easier one.

Chelsea is also not a good team right now. The odd is also very small. 1.18 is the odd.
I meant Chelsea win by multiple goals margin, the odd I listed is for European handicap - 1
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
The profitability of Puzzle 67 can be assessed using AI, and it turns out to be quite profitable, maybe even 68.
At a speed of 7 Terrakeys, approximately 1,750 RTX 4090 GPUs with undervolting to 350 W would be required.
🔹 Power Consumption:
Total power: 612.5 kW
Runtime: 67 days (1,608 hours)
Total consumption: 984,900 kWh
🔹 Electricity Costs:
USA (0.19 USD/kWh): 187,131 USD
UK (0.318 USD/kWh): 313,198 USD (≈244,686 GBP)
These costs vary by region and tariff, but the USA and the UK remain among the most expensive places for electricity.

1,750 RTX 4090s rented for 67 days or bought is more than puzzle 67 price.
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
If you do the calculation, puzzle 67 solver only realized a lot of losses,
67 days x 24 hours x several thousand GPUs = more than puzzle 67 price. I think that's why he is not giving any donations right now.

This thread did not work out the way I thought it would, I created a new thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5533318.0. I will be locking this one now.
This is a general prediction thread where everyone can drop his/her predictions for the day's events(all sports), you can also post a screenshot of your bet slip if you feel like.
I will update the OP with the page's number where predictions for the current day starts daily. There are a few rules in this thread so to make it easier for everyone
1. Embolden your prediction to make it easier for people reading to pick out predictions and not discussions.
2. Please add the thought process why you picked the prediction but don't embolden it
3. If you don't like someone's prediction, kindly give your own reason or just ignore the prediction move on.
4. No negativity in the thread Please
Example is the first comment which is mine.

If the OP remains active on the forum and if he is also an active gambler, I believe should not allow the thread to be dead. Secondly, I would love to suggest that if they can create a table for this prediction so that they can create different columns for the past prediction, successful prediction, lost prediction, and current prediction. With such proper arrangements, they can have a well understood thread.
I will post daily, I will try to keep a decent record of around 60% in the first 10 predictions.
I am on 33% with the first 3 predictions currently.
One advice is, I think instead of posting a new tip as a comment, better to update the op with your new tip, while you shift the old tip to the comment, so that users coming into the thread can easily have access to the new and latest tip right there on the op, much better than them having to search through the comments section to find your latest tip.
How do I shift the current OP to comment ?
I can edit the OP to add a new tip

You didn't drop an update on whether you won or lost your bet tip. At the end of each of your bet tips for the week, you are supposed to at least drop an update, let people know how betting tips have been, whether you are having your predictions correctly or whether some other gambler whose luck in gambling is far from.
However, for your betting tips, a few days back, you lost to Tottenham vs Manchester United(it's not a win, neither is it a draw for Manchester United).
Anyway, you won in Braga prediction against Victoria Guimaraes cause it's a draw match
I lost it because Manchester United lost 1-0

I would stick to only single bets from now, I only added one more because someone said the odds for the first game were small.
