Re: How many CPUs/GPUs needed to crack Bitcoin Puzzle 71 and 135 in 1 day?
by
Lolo54
on 08/07/2025, 08:34:50 UTC
To keep things simple without going into technical details and exhausting calculations for
71
--> the range comprises 1180591620717411303423 addresses to be scanned.  It all depends on where the target address is located in this range, but if we assume that it's at the end, it would take almost 2 million 4090 GPUs to reach it in 24 hours. If the target is in the middle of the range, let's say that 1 million GPU 4090s would suffice
with GPU 5090s, let's say that this number would require around 20% fewer GPUs, i.e. 1M5 or 750K
This is using Bitcrack or Vanitysearch, perfectly optimized for the system used.

For the 135 it's different insofar as the pubkey is available, the tools and speed are also different, but the difficulty is just as great. RetiredCoder's RCKangaroo, which was perfectly optimized for its configuration (i.e. over 12GK/s for the 130é), took 2 months to achieve this using 400 GPU 3090s, with the target at 62% of the range. In 1 day, we would have needed almost 60 times as many 3090 GPUs, say at least 24,000 RTX 3090 GPUs.
For the 135th, the search space is more than 30 times larger, so we'd need at least 750k GPUs 3090 to get there in 24 hours, if the target is 60% of the range, using software perfectly optimized to run on such a configuration.

Whether it's the 71st or the 135th, the difficulty of getting there is roughly the same, even if the software or the way of doing it is different, since for one the pubkey is known. We wish you good luck. Grin

When app starts it displays estimated RAM for DPs based on -range and -dp options, multiply it by -max option to get required RAM (roughly).
Or download latest sources and compile them, I added max RAM size calculation.

Code:
...RCKangaroo.exe" -dp 16 -range 75 -start 4000000000000000000 -tames rckang75a.dat -max 3

I must not have understood correctly but in this case the ram displayed is indeed 0.315GB and -max 3 it should take 900 MB or even 1 GB but it took 352 MB exactly 352055KB, why?  Huh

Very interesting this update, for fun I did the test with a precalculation of the points on #75 bit with -max 3 this already requires 350 Mo of free space.
how many Go available requires for example the precalculation of a 100bit space with -max 10 ?

I did a 85bit -max10 the Generation took 4 hours and 35GB of space

ok thank you for your answer I'm going to test a 90 in -max 5 to see but I'm not sure I'll have enough space we'll see

@RetiredCoder Maybe you can share networking and dp load/save options. Do you have any plan on it?  

I'm not going to create serious ready-to-use open-source solution for cracking really high ranges. You should do it by yourself if you want to crack #135 and get a lot of money Smiley
But I'm going to update RCKangaroo to support old cards better (+higher speed) when I have time.
It would actually be great if 20xx GPUs could be supported!  And if in addition a speed optimization for these 20xx and 30xx series is made great . Thank you  Smiley

The 135 remains technically feasible with very large resources like that used by retiredcoder (400 GPU 4090) and with a very well optimized RCKangaroo, depending on the position of the privateKey it would take between 0 and 1.2 years to resolve it. Depending on the price of bitcoin, the operation can be profitable but it must be possible to do so with such a resource.

Intriguing all the same, this RetiredCoder his way of writing, of composing his posts and some facts intrigue me (1 example  DO NOT POST SESC LINKS  ) I'm probably wrong but satoshi_rider= RetiredCoder=satoshi why not 🤔?! I don't understand the meaning of some of his messages including the one in the signature of #130 involving a famous quote from Jules Verne?? nor why this one….nor even how it was a clue if not a message or rather an implied clue free to everyone to appreciate its significance. Why is it he who gives the explanation then the privkey on how to achieve it and not the strange brief solver

wow,  congratulations to you for finding #120, 125 and 130 (probably a world record for 130). Your skills have been rewarded with over 37 BTC recovered. How many GPUs did you have to use to find the 130? Have you used an optimized version of your RCKangaroo or another tool?

ok albert0bsd but my remark came from the fact that the explorer shows $2.07 sent as well as the difference between the total received and the final balance

It's strange did you notice that on #66 there is an output awaiting validation  2.07$  Huh
https://www.blockchain.com/fr/explorer/addresses/btc/13zb1hQbWVsc2S7ZTZnP2G4undNNpdh5so
It is not validated so the pubkey is not broadcast but the scale takes it into account without any validation
It doesn't exist on the other # yet. How can this happen?
