A little late but, congratulations to the winners of puzzle 69.

@magnastro

with -S parameters bloom filter files are created and used when you re-run the program

BSGS's bloomfilters aren't related to address or specific public keys, Also they are independent of the target range and also is indifferent to compressed or uncompress public keys (both are the same internally)

parameter -l is usless for bsgs.

what you described it isn't kangaroo it i just regular cracking search and it doesn't have the square root of N benefit of birthday paradox.

You need tables full of DP to make it more efficient and to be able to use the square root of N that bring the Kangaroo algorithm by the birthday paradox.

Kangaroo is faster trustme, algorithm is difficult to explain at first glance.

As some other users explain before

Tame kangaroos jumps pseudo-random but deterministic from a know point like Start Base range (0x7......) or any other know value near our target publick key, so each time that a DP point (Distinguished Point with some amount of bits in ZERO in the X coordinate) is found we know its exact value.

In the other hand Wild kangaroos jumps pseudo-random but deterministic from an UN-know point like the target key, so each DP value that we found we only knows its relative value to our target key.

So the bigger dataset for tame or wild DP we have more probabilities that one item in one dataset is found in the another dataset, one that you found a match you automatically can translate all the Unknown DP into its real value this include the TARGET UNKNOWN PUBLIC KEY.

According to the birthday paradox such collision must occur soon of later so you with math/statics can calculate what are those odds for each new found value. Those odds grown exponentially.

Remember in the original birthday paradox in a room with 25 random people the probabilities that two of them have the same day of birthday are near 50%.

CLOSED due to no one is interested

Do you think that I did that test manually?

No it was done with a script without use of aby external wallet, TX was crafted from zero and broadcasted with API

I already test that and it is still Replaceable, I did 10  CPFP  in a row

A (Original TX)-> B (CPFP )-> C (CPFP )-> D (CPFP )-> E (CPFP )-> ....

and then

A (TX  RFB) -> X

And if the fee is bigger and the miners include it on its block and mine it, then  all the previous CPFP  are Replaced as they never happened in first place.

The amount that I point in my previous post it is to solve in matter of seconds, but those challenges usually takes months or even years (all depends of your current hardware speed)

Also just need to point that those are for address, when we talk about public keys  even a CPU can solve those weak public keys in matter of seconds o less than 10 minutes all this comes from the thing that we have algorithms for public keys such as Kangaroo (This topic name) and BSGS (Limited by Memory) both of them with Math shortcuts that help to solve those weak keys with a complexity of square root of N

Well I agree with that that is why I just do that for some other activity together in exchange, like go to have a meal together, at the end when I get out with my friends usually we have fun and we don't matter if today one  of us pay, we know that the other is going to pay.

In any case there is no rush to ask the payback right if you see that they aren't going to make it, then is better not to ask, at the end if you already fulfill the challenge it is still a win for you.


Agree 100% with that last one

Well even if i really like to read, i never did bets on that because it is not something really measurable, i prefer it on physical things. I just mentioned it as an example.

So it is better to name those CEX to see if one of those fees better my needs, every time that I try to convert Fiat money into BTC I usally lost some 5% percent (Comparing the current market price of BTC againts my Fiat rate change), this may vary depending of the amount of BTC that i am buying. And always moving that BTC to another wallet outside of the exchange (Maybe this is my problem) because if I keep that virtual BTC inside the Exchange i didn't lose that amount.

I already try many varitions of this like buying BTC directly in P2P
Buying USDT and the converting to BTC and other like this.

Maybe if you name a CEX and the method used to convert Fiat in to BTC to a self-custody wallet outside of the CEX and just lossing 0.088% on fees comparing the final BTC Amount againts the Fiat amount that you use it should be VERY COOL!

Well maybe you aren't seen the full picture, In my point of view it is a win-win scenario if you partner/friend doesn't fulfill the agreement at least you still reach your goal ( lose weight, do some daily exercise, read some books, IDK you name it!), Because the only way to really lose in this scenario is when you fail to your self in achieving your own goals.

Another thing is that you always can have some extra friend as escrow to ensure the fulfill of the bets/aggrement

Have you ever had a friend or co-worker who enjoys making friendly bets to Self improve?

For instance, you could bet on losing X amount of weight this month?

Last year, I made a similar bet to gain some weight (I'm very thin). So in my case my friend was also thin so we make a Bet to reach some Amount of weight before the end of the month. The bet wasn't a big deal it was only to buy a full meal for the other person just in case of not meet the expected weight. For example If my friend don't reach the expected weight and I reach it, then my friend should pay my meal. I that occasion we both reach the the expected weight and none of us need to pay the other person meal.

Do you have some similar history, please share it, i would like to read it.

This may not be a typical sports or casino topic, but I think self-improvement deserves some attention.

Another question: What do you think would be a fun and effective self-improvement challenge we could all try?

For example, how about a challenge to do 50 push-ups a day for a month? Would you bet on yourself to complete it?

The idea of a $700 million rematch between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul seems more like a publicity stunt than a realistic offer. While the Saudi backers have deep pockets, such a figure is unprecedented in boxing, and many fans remain skeptical of the first fight's authenticity. If this rematch were to happen, it would need to be a real contest to regain any credibility, as the scripted nature of the first match left many feeling disappointed.

Streaming rights would also play a significant role. With Netflix and DAZN vying for dominance in boxing broadcasts, negotiations could become as much of a spectacle as the fight itself. The Saudis' involvement shows how far they're willing to go to attract global attention, but whether that translates to a genuine fight remains to be seen.

At the end of the day, events like this are driven by consumer demand. Fans need to ask themselves if they're more interested in spectacle or authenticity. If this rematch goes forward, it could either restore some faith in the sport or further solidify its shift towards entertainment over genuine competition.

Ok, I just move it to Meta.

I know this might sound like just another "shitpost", but I want to raise a genuine concern about the noticeable decline in post quality due to campaign quotas, including both low-quality replies and poorly constructed OPs.

Key Issues

Superficial Replies: Many users post replies without fully reading the thread, or even checking if someone else has already provided a similar solution or expressed the same point. This leads to repetitive and shallow contributions that don't add much value to the discussion.

Opinion Overload: While it's valid to share personal opinions, many posts end up as simple "IMO this and that..." statements. Instead of fostering meaningful discussions, it often feels like a spam contest, where the goal is just to hit the post count rather than engage thoughtfully.

Repetitive Topics: For example, this week alone, I've seen three different threads about using VPNs for online casinos. Last week, it was a similar number of threads about unpopular sports betting. These topics seem to cycle through the forum repeatedly, making it hard to find something fresh to contribute to, i know that those topics for a newcomer may be attractive to read, but for those users that already have some time on this sections those post might loks like repetitive shitposting.

The Endless Cycle of "IMO"

One of the my biggest frustrations is seeing top threads that don't aim to reach a conclusion or dive deeper into the topic. Instead, they become endless loops of replies like "I think this..." or "In my opinion that..." with no real effort to advance the conversation. This blocks meaningful talks and fills the forum with junk.

What are your thoughts? How do you balance meeting campaign requirements while contributing meaningfully to the forum? I'd love to hear your perspective

I know that this looks like offtopic, but I post here on the Gambling discussion because it affect directly this section.

Your post highlights key considerations about separating personal emotions from betting and addressing ethical boundaries. Betting against your preferred candidate or team may feel counterintuitive, but rational analysis often leads to better outcomes. Gambling is about logic, not allegiance.

When it comes to events involving human suffering, like wars or natural disasters, many draw the line. Profiting from potential loss of life is morally contentious and desensitizing for some, making it a personal decision whether to participate in such markets.

As 2024 ends, betting markets may shift focus to 2025. Staying informed is important, but so is ensuring your bets align with your values. Gambling should remain within ethical and emotional boundaries you’re comfortable with.

Well i can do up to 0.002BTC monthly


That means that you want an extra percentage? why?

When people change their btc on for usdt or another coin on CEXs they usually lose some between 2% to 10% depending of the CEX fees.

I offer:
- Even trade (You don't lose that percentage)
- I pay for network fees.
- Privacy

I am not going to move from those terms and I can wait until someone is interested.

Your perspective is well articulated, and the analogy with poker is particularly apt for understanding sports betting dynamics. Betting success indeed relies on having an analytical edge over the collective opinion of other players, much like choosing weaker opponents in poker to maximize your chances of winning.

The role of the bookmaker is often misunderstood. As the quote explains, their primary function is not to predict the outcome but to balance opinions and money flow, ensuring they minimize their own risk. In this sense, they act as brokers, merely facilitating the wagers rather than being the opponent. Their commission, while reducing overall player winnings, is the cost of using their platform, much like transaction fees in financial markets.

To gain a consistent edge, it's essential to focus on better analysis, deeper insights, and identifying inefficiencies in public perception. Just as in poker, success often comes down to preparation, patience, and knowing when and where to place your bets. By treating sports betting as a strategic game against other bettors rather than a gamble against the bookmaker, you can develop a more sustainable and informed approach.

Thanks for sharing your insights! Comparing the dice 98% strategy to Plinko's 16-row low-risk setup highlights a key difference: while dice offers quick wins, its all or nothing losses can be devastating. Plinko, with only 19.89% of outcomes as losses (0.5x), provides better longevity, making it a more sustainable option for players aiming to maximize wagering.

That said, as you and Agbamoni noted, gambling outcomes rely on luck. Even over millions of rolls or balls, probabilities don’t always align perfectly. Your suggestion of betting 0.05% of your bankroll is excellent for reducing risk and staying in the game longer.

Ultimately, strategies like this should be approached cautiously. Always treat gambling as entertainment, use funds you can afford to lose, and avoid chasing losses. Sharing such strategies adds value, but realistic expectations are key.

I wonder why all those Single message accounts don't stop to appear here and there, Saying that they have magical access to some data/formula/method.


This is not a puzzle it is a challenge in works of the creator:


How many times we need to point to that post?

I haven't deleted any of my messages what are you talking about?

Maybe you are confused there is another user who tested Mara it was WP
