Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it

Huge respect for cracking it—amazing work!

To the entire community: as we all know, there are no magic tricks, shortcuts, or secret exploits here. It’s now clear that pure brute force is the only way forward.

With that in mind, it feels like the puzzle journey has reached its end for many of us. Competing against someone with over 2,000+ powerful GPUs (and counting!) just isn't realistic.

Huge respect for what? For using a program he probably didn’t even code and GPUs he doesn’t even own? I call this: script kiddies with resources.
I doubt this was the purpose of this puzzle, and I think the journey has indeed ended for them while it’s just begun for participants with higher IQs and fewer resources.
Time will tell!

P.S. There’s no frustration in this post. I was never a participant in the puzzle. But I do find the cocky posts about bruteforcing so hilarious. You’ve missed the entire point!

IS THIS SOLVED?>

Yes Smiley

Some VERY SMART people even show these pictures around to prove that they have been solved.

The reason he didn't transfer was because he was afraid of BOTS.
(BE CAREFUL about scammers!)

pathetic! what do you gain by faking this in photoshop? At least be smart enough and don't use a known private key next time...

Re: R validated but not seeing it... ??

So i hit a PK which validated R on the sig i was running for a whale...
I have the following...
What program/engine are you using?
Are you sure that this program is not fake/scam?

(Anyway, you can get p2pkh address with www.bitaddress.org with your private key and check the balance on any blockexplorer)

Not a scam Cheesy  just something i made and seems to work.  Granted i had a issue with the publick key logic, i think i fixed it..
What i dont get is why it would validate 2 sigs with the key but then be off on the publickey translation... so ill have to run it again ..
Just python with advanced lattice methods..

I think the easiest way to solve your issue is to ask the real coder of your "tool" about this. Pretending it's yours although you can't see the obvious issue in the code, won't help. Good luck anyway!

Re: Lattice used for finding range of nonce in transactions - academic question

I'm not taking about calculation privkey from collection signatures. You will not find my solutions on net. i rebuild LLL and way of rearranged  for testing one signature as part r s z for finding closest pointt as integer value.

And if someone of you do the same we can discus
The elliptic curves points do not retain the properties of the numbers they represent in such a way that you can perform a modulo operation or check the last digit. The points on the elliptic curve are the solutions of the equation y^2 = x^3 + ax + b (over some finite field), and they don't correspond directly to integers in a way that would allow you to check if their remainder is 0. Lattice is useless unless you know either the corresponding MSB or the LSB for each specific nonce and you cannot use lattices to find them, so why would you create such delusional topic?
