hey, guys, did you know that keyhunt switch -R is not really working?

-b 135 -R

you think that it will start 135bit range from random place? fsck, no, it always starts from beginning of range.

sooo much wasted resources.... alberto is rediska

Better to stick to the higher range keys then. 130 and up.

130+ with public tools is ridiculously unefficient.

Solving 130-bit is equivalent to solving 4 to 8 billion 66-bit puzzles

You're unprofessional if you compare 66 and 130, because BSGS is much faster than bruteforce. But I agree that p66 is shorter on same price HW.

p.s. Hey, guys. Another discussion of stealing bot.
What if you (finder of p66)
make 2 transactions by yourself

1st - transfer BTC to your wallet with reasonable fee and RBF False.

and after several seconds you doublespend everything with fee == 6.6BTC and RBF true

so, either you win, either nobody, right?

If someone has a better solution for the bot, let me know. I'll use theirs.

Haha, I thought you've patched bitcoin-core and monitor blockchain itself. But you just rely on some public api. Are you sure it will show you pubkey without lag?

what computational power does the puzzles 130 needed to be solved

if you have 56core/256GB server, you'll check about 12 exakeys per sec

2^129 / 11344588059320129643 / 3600*24 = ?

1_902_338_144_733 - in so much years at most you'll become rich (haha)

It takes a thousand GPUs to make something serious. Everything else is just kidding

Why GPU? BSGS works on CPU.

btw, what's more important RAM or CPU?

I've tried
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X - 4.5GHZ, 16c/32th + 128GB - 4ek on start, reaches 6ek after week
Intel Core i7-11700K 3.6GHZ, 8c/16th + 128GB - only 2ek, no growth
Intel Core i7-11700K 3.6GHZ, 8c/16th + 64GB - around 1ek, no growth

He found BTC.

Your stories are so boring... I personally, bought 1 BTC in 2013 also, but didn't hodl. Frankly speaking, $70k is not the sum I really miss.

The true disasspointment is the 32BTC puzzle. This beast allowed lucky AND/OR wise guys to earn dozens of BTC, especially the inventor of kangaroo searcher.
But for me it's only a loss of GPU time during all 5 years.

i wonder is it more probable to find a key through random approach or with consecutive trials ?

random mode adds probability to search same range more than once. also keyhunt speed slowly grows, at start it is 4exakeys/sec, after a week it is 6exakeys/sec (maybe it's just wrong counting, not real speed boost)

btw, keyhunt is suitable for puzzle 130?

1. it is stupid to search for 66 and other lower puzzles, because when you begin to spend them,  guys with kangaroo stuff will steal you key and likely overwrite your transaction.

2. The speed is ridiculous. keyhunt on ryzen7 is searching at speed of 3 exakeys (puzzle 130).

Ever since 2015, we are stuck at puzzle 66, you should double the key space size each bit you go up.

You're mistaken. P64 was depleted only 1 year ago.

P65 was depleted by different algo.

So, we are not really STUCK with 66

who solved ? which tools useing to crack keyhunt or BitCrack

Very unlikely that it was bitcrack. This magic kangaroo stuff is.

I wonder of RAM requirements for 120 puzzle. Who's next p66 or p125? )

This code is so valuable I doubt anyone will just opensource it. And it's far from easy to write, as someone said there is probably only a handful working ones out there.

The same could be said about bruteforce code. Many years there was only crappy and slow LBC, then I payed a rather modest $450 to freelancer to fund opensource vanitygen fork.
In the same time Bitcrack was already done and also opensource, just not popular.

In result, as I can see, author of Bitcrack was donated several times with 0.1 BTC. That's better than nothing (a doubt he could use same resources as zielar)

Hello does anyone have a complete list of the taken addresses and it's corresponding private keys? from 1-60? Thank you

1       target compressed      107 Mkey/s
2.7M targets both                     46 Mkey/s

OK, not stubborn, but alternatively gifted.
Do you really think that 46 vs 107 is "won't change much"?

You, stubborn boyz, don't get simple thing: bounty is 100% compressed, so you need only -c switch.
For abandoned wallets you 100% need both -u and -c switches.
That's 2x drop.

bloom filter with thousands of addressed also cannot be free. Here you get another ~50% drop.

So, 1 address vs thousands is really around "3X difference".

Thank you for you very competent comments.

Welcome.

I claim that an Rx480 does 105MHkey/s on 01 target and 85 MHkey/s on 2,749,473 targets (compressed only)... draw you own conclusions. This is no BS.

1. Most abandoned wallets are uncompressed.
2. If speed with one address is almost the same as with 2.7M, then you haven't found right values for -b A -t B -p C
No other options.

One target or 45000 target won't change much.

So incompetent opinion.
1 compressed address makes 250MK
50k compressed+uncompressed 80MK
(on gf1070)

that's 3.1 times difference.

Never tried it, because most of non empty BTC addresses are compressed

Another BS  Smiley

This trick will increase your likelihood in finding the key as times increases

3rd BS.

How can one get the BCH pk?
Someone can help me with answers.....Thanks.

Yeah, the PK is the same and you could take these $70 instead of asking Smiley

p.s. I guess there are other bitcoin forks. But it's a bit lazy to check...
