Don't say this nonsense in this thread. What I said has nothing to do with standard transaction sending methods. Everyone has been using this method since the beginning of Bitcoin. Your nonsense is a misleading way of breaking the standard and normal principles of sending transactions. So stop telling your lies. Are you getting paid by Slipstream for these ads?

We all know what happened to the people who sent the transaction the normal way, and we know what happened to those who used Slipstream.

We’ve already played this game once; in the end, I won that round. There are already tests:

Mempool bot competition #2:

Address: 12B2uyEpoRsLDmJDLHJK5n4LeG946XtqM2
Puzzle 75 address space.
30 usd price.
Public key will be exposed tomorrow 27 June 2025 between 13.00 and 14.00 UTC.
Every participant BTC address which will be visible at least once in mempool RBF timeline will get 10 usd in BTC.

Thanks.

He doesn’t see it because he hasn’t read it and even if he does, he won’t understand what he’s reading. Maybe it’s a language barrier, but I doubt it. Right now, he’s probably trying to figure out what “kangaroo” or “bsgs” even means. If he’s testing RetiredCoder’s kangaroo implementation or WP’s fork, I’m almost certain he’ll see the results and think: “Omg, I found it so quickly! I should definitely try this on 135 too.” Then he’ll start brute-forcing that.

When he realizes it doesn’t work the same way, he’ll be disappointed. And of course, he’ll vanish into silence and return 3–5 months later with a new account and start posting again. Sadly, that’s the cycle this thread seems to follow for some users.

What I’ve come to understand is that being literate doesn’t mean you actually comprehend what you read. For the first time, I felt like I was talking to a wall. It’s sad, but true.


Why do you resist understanding? Those who talk a lot think less!

From now on, I’ll just ignore you. Trying to understand a 48 year old teenager who seeks attention by saying 'I found these with just simple Python code" but using someone else’s list' is pointless. I wish you success, I truly hope you’re the one who finds 71, transfers it the in your groundbreaking way, and that others are genuinely happy about it.

I'll try to put this as clear as possible for the people reading here who don’t want to be misled. Who don’t want to get confused and, potentially, if they somehow manage to solve Puzzle 71, don’t want all their efforts, resources, or luck to go completely to waste.

There are two ways to take the funds from one of the puzzles: One is to find the private key of the  address and transfer the funds to another (your own) address. Finding the key is done through different forms of brute-forcing. The second way is to find the private key through reverse engineering from the public key. But in order to use the second method, someone must have already brute-forced the key and made a public transaction so that the public key becomes known. Different strategies. Personally, I find the second one much dirtier. In the first method, you're beating the game. In the second, you're screwing over a person.

Regarding the transactions. In the end, there are two ways to transfer the funds: via the public mempool and via the private mempool (MARA Slipstream). There have been many arguments about these two methods. Which one is the "right" one. Honestly, I think very few of those arguments have been sincere on either side. I believe that the people who claim that a transaction should go through the public mempool - only a very small portion of them genuinely believe that, and to me, they OBVIOUSLY don’t understand what would actually happen. The other part of people claiming that the public mempool should be used are simply those who also want to take the funds from Puzzle 71, but by using the second method. And if we say that even in MARA Slipstream the funds can be stolen is true, then in the worst case scenario the chances are 50/50. Let’s reduce this to the simplest math: with the public mempool, the chance of the funds being taken is 100 percent. With the private one  50.

Menowa* and Mafioso246 - I completely agree with both of you. And people like SimonNeedsBitcoin and mahmood1356 either have no idea how things actually work, or they’ve simply have a bot and choose to play dirty with the second method.







Simon was probably scammed in the past, which explains his attitude. But facts are facts. Mahmood, on the other hand, comes across as completely clueless. He clearly doesn’t understand, and he has this habit of forming opinions without having any real knowledge at least that’s what his posts suggest Smiley Their biggest issue is that there’s a 15-year-old thread full of context, and neither of them has read it. They fall into the trap of thinking their ideas are original, when in reality, they’re just rediscovering things that have been discussed for years.

Why do you think that a history of posting and threads over many years can make your opinions correct or that other users should accept your words? In order for everyone to clearly see which one is correct,
 I would like to ask you and the rest of my friends if you or anyone else can tell us the private key to this address?
Address: 1GjerJf1FeccCzvQUZVpeVmPpad3RH1ZT5
Public Key: 03af13c80e78581d870a96f112cf681db1cad6f9da26860f2c25dd9a9125b0bdfc
Range(18hex): 400000000000000000 - 7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF



Certainly neither you nor any other 15-year-old user can do this in a few seconds. So stop your nonsense and don't be complacent about your perennial stalk, and I say that in these few years you have only wasted your time and if you had gone to another job instead of talking nonsense, it would have been more beneficial for you.

I don't think there's anything I can do for you anymore, but you can do it yourself Smiley

LMAO I wasn’t expecting to laugh this but I had a blast. Maybe it’s time to stop trying to solve puzzles and just build a bot instead Smiley I used to feel bad for the person who found #66 and #69 but lost them to bots but honestly, I don’t anymore. Chances are, they were someone like Mahmood or Simon. Whoever snatched those BTCs probably deserves them more than either of those two.

I used to think those two might be bot owners, but it’s clear from what they’ve written that they don’t even have enough knowledge to set one up. Mahmood’s argument: “Public key for #135 is out there, why hasn’t it been found in seconds?” Simon’s argument: “If the bots are so powerful, why haven’t they solved #71?” It’s painfully obvious they have no clue what’s actually going on.

I'm only speaking out for justice after seeing so many scammers. I hope everyone can open their eyes and distinguish right from wrong.

Also, making that kind of robot is unethical—I'd even go so far as to say it's illegal. The FBI will find you.

I'm the FBI gl Smiley

For the remaining unsolved lower bitlength puzzles the solver has to use non-public mempool with so far the only easy public service at slipstream.mara.com OR the solver is a complete idiot as was the case with puzzle #69.

Any solver of puzzles #71, #72, ... which are not multiples of 5 have to be mined from non-public mempools. Period!

Solvers of remaining puzzles which are multiples of 5, i.e. #135, #140, ... #160, don't necessarily need non-public mempools and should be fine to broadcast their puzzle withdrawal transaction publicly. Though it doesn't really hurt to do it via slipstream.mara.com, too. I'd consider it safer that way.

It's funny how some dudes here don't seem to understand how RBF works and that basically all mining pools have an economic incentive to have FullRBF enabled by default. Therefore you can't prevent that your transaction gets replaced as long as the replacer follows RBF rules. You can't opt-out RBF successfully anymore. Period!

Anybody who doesn't understand this, shouldn't play with solving #71+, just don't come later and cry you've been robbed by bots. DYOR!

I don't understand. What is the difference between any puzzle and these that are multiples of 5?


 In case you solve any of the puzzles from 71 to 134, you must consider several precautions to avoid being robbed by automated bots.

I understand well how the public mempool works and how transactions function. I've read through the entire thread and I understand the risk of being front-run by bots when transfering funds.
This is the first time I’m seeing someone mention that “solvers of remaining puzzles which are multiples of 5 don’t necessarily need non-public mempools and should be fine to broadcast publicly.” I don’t understand what difference the puzzle number makes - whether it's #61, #71, #82, etc. And specifically, what makes special the puzzles that are multiples of 5 - like #85, #100, #105?


Don't trust online claims, especially in the digital currency space, where scammers are everywhere.

Puzzle 71 has been the subject of three or four months of global effort since the solution of Puzzle 69, but the private key hasn't been cracked. Can you believe your funds could be stolen by a so-called bot within a minute of your transfer? Bitcoin's most important principle is decentralization. Even if you're transferring funds publicly, as long as you use the highest transaction fee, miners around the world will rush to confirm your transaction. This is the essence of Bitcoin's decentralization and security. What's there to worry about? You can claim your winnings in under a minute. If Bitcoin were so easily hackable, it would have collapsed long ago.

Remember, anyone who asks you to submit your transactions to a private mining pool is likely a scammer. Even if the private mining pool is a large company, what about their employees? Anyone who handles your transaction information could try to steal your winnings. Think for yourself.

You keep repeating the same thing, either you're the bot owner waiting in ambush, or SimonNeedsBrain
Nice try Diddy LOL, can you share your bot with us?

This is hilarious! If I knew how to use a bot like this, I'd have already cracked dozens of Bitcoin addresses. I'd probably be on vacation in Hawaii.

Don't you think that asking you to give them your transaction data is essentially like saying, "Hey, give me your private key."?

You guys are so technically proficient, do you think private mining pools are any worse than you?
Wooow
You claim you crack Bitcoin wallets and have lot of money, and enjoying time n money
Here is simple example and test
You should create 71 bit range address
Put their 1 btc
Post address here, and announce your destination address where you will transfer your 1 btc full or partial btc after 3 hours, using ur secure mempool tx, remember no one have ur pvkey,
After play this test you will learn lot of things, when bots will pickup before go to your destination address
If you successfully transfer your fund to your des address , whole forum will learn from you
Come and play And proof your simple tx by mempool
After 12 hours

Sorry, guys, but unfortunately I have to ask my question for the third time, as Im still curious. SimonNeedsBitcoin steered the conversation in a completely different direction that’s already been discussed multiple times here and whether that path is right or wrong doesn’t concern me. What SimonNeedsBitcoin decided to explain was an answer to a question I never asked. So… once again, I had like to ask my question, and if anyone can answer, I will really appreciate it. I don’t understand what difference the puzzle number makes - whether it’s #61, #71, #82, etc. And specifically, what makes the puzzles that are multiples of 5 special — like #85, #100, #105? Or in the end, since no one is giving an answer, does that just mean this thing has no significance at all?

So puzzle numbers actually represent the size of the key range.

For puzzles like #85, #100, or #105, the public keys were intentionally exposed by the creator. This was done to make it possible to test cryptographic algorithms like Kangaroo or BSGS or maybe for other reasons.

Okay, it's clear you’re not reading the replies sent to you, and based on the sentence you wrote above, you clearly don’t have any understanding of how bots work, so I’ll assume the bot doesn’t either, fair enough Smiley

You seem to think bots can crack all addresses or something. Let me ease your mind: Bitcoin is secure (for now). What you said is valid, but the puzzle topic is a different matter and should be evaluated as such.

67–68 were taken via Marapool. The person who solved 69 did exactly what you described, and the result is clear bots stole it. That was the only option and that’s all I have to say. GL

Remember, anyone who asks you to submit your transactions to a private mining pool is likely a scammer. Even if the private mining pool is a large company, what about their employees? Anyone who handles your transaction information could try to steal your winnings. Think for yourself.

Nice try Diddy LOL, can you share your bot with us?

guys best app to use i try BitCrack but the result are not good, and some others app miss the key exemple KeyHunt-Cuda is good but he keep missing the key

BitCrack result

NVIDIA RTX A4000   818.15 MKey/s

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti  973.68 MKey/s

GeForce RTX 3080  1574.46

GeForce RTX 3060  656.09 MKey/s

GeForce RTX 3090 1324.28 MKey/s

GeForce RTX 4090   3061.96 MKey/s

GeForce RTX 4070 1286.45 MKey/s

GeForce RTX 5080  1988.08 MKey/s

GeForce RTX 3070  1014.12 MKey/s

NVIDIA RTX A5000  1338.56 MKey/s

GeForce RTX 5090  3956.87 MKey/s

GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 1725.58 MKey/s

GeForce GTX 1070 119.88 MKey/s

No, that’s not the best app. I’ve tested all publicly available programs on GitHub etc, and by far the most optimized and fastest one is FixedPaul’s vanitysearch-bitcrack. Is there a faster one? Maybe but among public ones, this is definitely the fastest.

Since GPU farm is worthless, 71 has almost no chances of being solved this year. Maybe in next years, unless someone is very lucky or the price goes to 200k.

And about withdrawing the funds. Mara is the only option right now, either you trust it or not.


But not impossible. The odds still below 1/1000
If running at least 3 rtx 4080 gpu for 3 months 😅

Better than lottery luck

It's great as long as you're not paying for the electricity! Smiley

There are so many JeB9j and JeB9jr between 75 and 7F maybe it's close Tongue Bjork - Possibly maybe

Yeah i found some JeB9jr

I know, sometimes you post here and delete it after a minute or two Tongue
Hahaha 🤪. Bcoz some time i change my mind on sharing 😅

So you're saying we're not worthy of the prefixes you’ve found? Sad  Wow… shame. Just… shame.

Why does everyone keep trying to solve it?

I think this is a game that benefits others, not the solvers!! When more inventory was added to these puzzles, each Bitcoin was worth about $27,000. Have any of you thought about why the finder of puzzle 69 lost inventory?


Let me remind you of a few principles: Bitcoin can only consider a transaction as completed after receiving 6 confirmations in the next blocks in the blockchain network chain, and before 6 confirmations, that asset is not in your possession, and the block containing the transaction confirmed by miners may be completely removed from the blockchain chain before reaching 6 confirmations, which are called orphan blocks.
lost because he used the mempool instead of Mara. Big mistake when it's already been discussed here on how to avoid losing those funds. Smiley

Although using a private mining pool instead of a public one can prevent RBF, but who can guarantee that the private mining pool will not embezzle the money? This is not difficult at all technically.
Normal transfers with high fees may still have a chance of success, but if they cheat through a private mining pool, you will never get your property back. I think the decentralization of Bitcoin does not allow you to hand over transactions to private mining pools.
And I have not seen any evidence that No. 67 and 68 were successfully transferred through Mara.

If you have any questions, why dont you try Mara by yourself? Ill make myself clear: im not specialist in bitcoin not even in coding. But I already have tested Mara and it`ll worked out in the end. At no time in this process the private key is revealed, you only need a hex of a signed transaction which contains just numbers, and past it in Mara. I dont see how they could get the private key and trick you leaving you with nothing. I could be talking bullshit since im not an expert about all of this, Im just talking about what I did and tested with 5 dolars.

If I'm not thinking incorrectly, the assumption or theory behind not trusting MARA is entirely based on the hex of a signed transaction, the idea that someone there, whether it's the miner or someone else, could access the public key information before anyone else and, thinking "well, this is a Bitcoin puzzle anyway," could take the entire amount for themselves.

There only 2 way.  Collusion inside 😅. Or setup huge mount of miner at mara pool and hope lucky the public key pass to your miner ..

But why .. .. better to find way to solve it 🙃😅

If it fail trough mara , then mara reputation will fall i think. Cause the solver will surely go bonker 🙃
My discussion is not about attacking or removing confirmed blocks for profit; it is about why some puzzles - whose existence is recorded at the time of their creation - become very valuable and popular, but when these puzzles are solved, the rewards are not distributed to the solvers and are stolen? The answer is quite clear: we all know that it is completely ridiculous and illogical to believe that bots can obtain the private key in a very short time, given the public key. The only logical and 100% probable case is that those bots already have that key before you yourself have access to your private key. "Yes, of course the number of these bots is the same as the number of puzzles left. These bots all have the keys to the puzzles and are designed to monitor and investigate unsolved Bitcoin puzzles and monitor Bitcoin transactions across the blockchain. If you have access to a full node on the Bitcoin network, you can examine the transactions associated with orphaned blocks at the time and date of previous puzzle solutions and see how many of these thefts occurred there."

I'm writing this without being lazy and explaining it step by step: "completely ridiculous and illogical to believe that bots can obtain the private key in a very short time" might be true for keys over 80 bits, but what you said is nonsense for the following reason.

If we talk about the current puzzle 71, when you search for the public key of any 71-bit address using RetiredCoder's kangaroo, Ok I can even give you the hardware an RTX 4090 and as an example, I show below exactly how it works:

MAIN MODE

Solving public key

Stopping work ...
Total Time: 3 seconds
Point solved, K: 0.412 (with DP and GPU overheads)

PRIVATE KEY: 6ACC29061A29B3EB5A

Priv (WIF): p2pkh:KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3rDzuJyywM8f2fuQHuuyk
Priv (HEX): 0x6ACC29061A29B3EB5A

Ah wait, I reached the private key in 3 seconds. Even if I don't know any coding, I would automate this with AI. I did this for you without being lazy, and as I said before, please read the thread carefully starting from page 350s, even from 300s or much earlier.

This does seem a bit scary, and normal transfers may indeed be robbed. But my question is, who can guarantee that private mining pools will not be selfish and steal your property? If you submit the transaction data to a private mining pool, they have more time to crack your transaction.

If you transfer money normally and use the highest handling fee, miners all over the world will rush to confirm your transaction, and it may only take a minute or even tens of seconds to confirm your transaction. You still have a certain chance to successfully transfer money. This is also the benefit of Bitcoin decentralization.

But if you submit the transaction to a mara or any other private mining pool that came out of nowhere (sorry, I don’t mean it in a derogatory way) , wouldn’t you be afraid that they will embezzle your property? This does not conform to the decentralized principle of Bitcoin.

Maybe I don’t understand, but if I really crack the Puzzle 71, I will be very cautious.

I understand why you're scared I’d be hesitant too. But if you wait for mining by setting a high fee, someone else's bot can simply offer an even higher fee than yours, and this will go on until you run out of money. Unfortunately, disabling RBF doesn't really help.

As far as I remember, the fee strategy was already tested in earlier pages those who did the testing could give a clearer answer on that.
Rather than going through all that, I’d trust MARA. From what I’ve seen, it’s not just a “Hey, I have a mining rig, can I join your pool?” kind of pool. it’s a holding company. I’d take my chances with them.

It's been written countless times, mempool links have been flying around, yet you're saying you can't see any proof and you're suggesting trying it with a high fee, which is extremely absurd. I recommend reading the thread from page 370 up to this point. GL

Aside from puzzle 67 and 68 being claimed this way, I also forgot to mention the people who tested MARA before them. If you find 71 or another low entrop. puzzle, please be sure to make a normal transfer Smiley

I still recommend using the highest fee for normal transfers, which is in line with the decentralized principle of Bitcoin and can quickly get block confirmation. Usually, you can successfully transfer money in less than a minute.

Those who suggest that we transfer money through private mining pools may be a conspiracy to steal our property. Grin

You're talking like the person who found puzzle 69 now I'm suspicious.  Smiley
