I have a silly script that tries to predict the challenge keys. I like to toy with this stuff.
If I pass it the sequence of known keys from #1 to #64, this is the prediction for #65:
Prediction: 3.05208467e+19 -> 1A78FD45E05A73800
Now passing it the sequence from #1 to #65:
Prediction: 4.73075146e+19 -> 290860DE1FB9B1000

Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
#66, #67, #68 and so on can be cracked within seconds using Kangaroo. I'm pretty sure there are bots watching those addresses.
Is placing transaction (with transaction fee enough to be included in next block) in the last second before new block will be mined will help?
I'm not sure, someone else with more knowledge than I will be able to better answer you.
Although that's something I also thought of doing...
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Take your chances by deploying a bot to compete with the looter, otherwise you can kiss your coins good bye. Or just talk with a large pool beforehand, you could offer them $10,000 bonus and if they include the tx in their block, other pools won't dare to mine that block again just to take those extra coins.
So you are claiming that any Bitcoin transaction could be double-spended and therefore all Bitcoin transactions are insecure. Makes sense ?
What do you think of a challenge? I transfer an amount of x coins, you only know the source address, which I will publish here. Then you siphon off the coins and transfer them to another address before I receive them just like you described the looter would. If the coins end up at your freely chosen address, you can keep them. If they end up with me, you have lost and made a fool of yourself. Deal ?
I am pretty sure he's only talking about the low bit challenge/puzzles, like #66.
Yeah...
#66, #67, #68 and so on can be cracked within seconds using Kangaroo. I'm pretty sure there are bots watching those addresses.
As soon as those pubkeys go live people will be warned and they'll have at least a 5-10 minutes window to solve the key and RBF.
Right now with the Ordinals situation that window could be greater, specially if the solver decides to cheap out with the fees...
Re: == Bitcoin challenge transaction: ~1000 BTC total bounty to solvers! ==UPDATED==
It has been partly fun but most exhausting running a server in my garage in hope to find one of the puzzles to save me from debt, poverty and help out with illness in my family with unpayable medical bills. Sunday wife and kids are out of town and I will turn off the server and myself. Good luck rest of you!
I hope someone with more balls than you will find the family that you've made and will care for them, since you are such a coward to leave them like this.
