Re: VanitySearch (Yet another address prefix finder)

Can anyone build GPU vanity search for Onion V3 addresses?

There is cpu version: https://github.com/cathugger/mkp224o
And GPU version for v2 address which are old format: https://github.com/lachesis/scallion

I think it is very similar to these btc address generators. But underlying algo is different which is ed25519 in case of onion v3 addresses. How hard is it to port vanitysearch to do onion v3?

2. What is the simple mathematical problem? Finding private key if someone reuse k value?

What is that? Is it similar to this: https://allprivatekeys.com/random-vulnerability

Then don't worry. Last month I've checked all of bitcoin addresses for this and found like 1000 addresses with this vulnerability and only 3 with balances. All 3 <500 sats. So, you won't find anything new...

Broke - Running kangaroo on 120th puzzle transaction with 2^119 search space and get 1.2 BTC

Woke - Running kangaroo on 5th richest BTC address with 2^256 search space and get >84,000 BTC


Pls help me if we can get public key from p2sh or bech addresses. I'll run on 1st richest wallet. If he universe wants me to have those, I'll get those. Only if we are living in a simulation...

Who knows, maybe they went on a journey to learn C# or Python to be able to run the provided code!!!
At least that question led me to add a new feature to FinderOuter to make it possible for users to recover their WIFs missing up to 11 characters at the end. Roll Eyes

Most people think others are gonna scam that guy with private key. But probably that guy is gonna scam others with random address (visible) and random pvt key. After people message them, he'll sell that to them for 1 btc or something. When you bruteforce it, you'll realise that he scammed you when you didn't get the address in that range...

Hello, everyone,

Kinda offtopic for this thread, but how exactly to get pubkey of an address from bitcoin transaction?

I'm using this python bitcoin parser and I can see tx inputs and outputs, I can see output addresses for most txs. And I can see input script. But how to get pubkey of that address which send tx out?

TIA

used on 5th feb 2021, receive and send
indicate he is live and getting his money for his work/assignments


So, basically, all the remaining puzzle problems become really hard or not rewarding enough. So, most developers are working on some other projects. On kangaroo readme it is mentioned 120 puzzle would take 2 months on 256 v100s to find a solution. I think 64 problem is also similarly hard. So, not much to do here unless the original puzzle maker adds more to the wallets again...

Making outgoing transactions on 70-120 wallets is also one way. But would be cleaned by people who have good experience with running kangaroo and good hardware resources... Until then no progress further. A lotta resources went in 64 and 120, so they might get cracked. After that no hopes...

Re: Bruteforce partial electrum seed words
by
rama_rao
on 11/02/2021, 08:30:58 UTC
Edit:
I have 13 text files with possible seed words (1.txt, 2.txt...13.txt). most of the files contain 4-10 words.
I'm looking for a way to brute-force the seed based on those text files.



I know it's possible bruteforce 4 missing words, but how about the following scenario:

Let's say that I don't know any of the words, but for 12 words (out of 13) I know the last one or two letters, and for two words I know the first letter.
I also know their order and even some of their length.

Is there a known tool that I can play with to solve such puzzle?

I couldn't understand the problem. Say you have 7.txt with 10 seed words. You just need two more words to make 12 word seed. After lotta combination and permutations and filtering bad seeds and getting final address and looking up on blockchain for utxo. Is that what you are doing?

There are couple of questions
1. Is each file corresponds to one wallet or one word seed?
2. Do you know the positions of missing seed words in each file?
3. Are these 12 word mnemonic seeds or 15 or 24? (If they are 15 words or more and your answer to 2 is no then you can lose all hopes to crack them, most probably.)

If you can answer that, they it's kinda easy to comeup with bruteforce solutions...

Also I was getting 1000mk/s on 1080ti on vanity search but only 300mk/s on bitcrack. What is this that slow? As far as I know vanity search only have to compare first 4-6 characters and this has to compare whole address. Is that the only reason for this slowness or something else in the implementation?

I can't help you choose parameters because I don't have any of those, still trying to find a way to lease a GPU for bitcoin (turns out it's very hard to find someone who's not trying to sell you a miner  Undecided). But the reason why VanitySearch is much faster than this is not related to the number of characters they are comparing, it's due to the fact that Jean_Luc's code generates a "jump table" of secp256k1 points (see e.g. GPU/Group.h) so he avoids actually doing the elliptic curve math at runtime, unlike brichard's code. This is despite both their engines being written in CUDA.

In VanitySearch he also writes all his math in assembly code while Bitcrack uses C for its math functions.

Several pages back somebody posted here that they used -b 112 -t 512 -p 512 for their 1080 and got similar speeds as you.

BTW, kinda offtopic. My python implementation (<50 lines) using external libs is doing only 100 keys/sec (on single cpu core) and also I noticed official c/python implementations also do around 1000 keys/sec while generating. What makes these generators a thousand/million times faster? Is it just a simple trick or years worth of dev? Give some pointers maybe.

Are your python files compiled? Try doing that so that your code doesn't have to be interpreted at runtime, using python -m compileall YOUR_PY_FILES.

Also while running on windows, it is not showing any cpu/gpu/memory. Why is that?

What do you mean? Bitcrack never printed how much CPU or memory it uses in the console. Do you mean in Task Manager? If so then you'll usually find it as a child process of Windows Command Processor (and Task Manager is going to show that using a lot of resources but it's actually the child process running inside it using all that).
You also have to realize, VanitySearch is searching more than just Point. It is searching Point +  endo1 + endo2 + symmetry ( pt.y.ModNeg; p1.y.ModNeg; and p2.y.ModNeg; It's a different animal than Bitcrack, hence what seems like super speed compared to Bitcrack. Just different designs and purposes. One is point by point the other is 6 points.

Ohh I see. So, let's say we want to search 64 bit space, we can do that with bitcrack as usual. But with vanitysearch it doesn't make sense as it searches 6 points at a time and most probably 5 of them are out of that 64 bit space, right? Makes sense. Thanks for explanation.

Also, what makes these so fast than official implementation? It is kinda mind boggling to think someone can do 1000/10k times better than usual implementation. (Right from vanitygen, they all have very amazing perf.) Any links to docs or papers is fine. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I've used those values. What ever tweaks I make is only decreasing the rate. So, asked to know if there is any good doc for that.

Yeah, I was asking about task manager. Everything is normal, cpu 20%, gpu 5% usage and 6gb gpu ram which is good I guess.

What do you mean by lease? You can rent on AWS or some other services cheaper. Try google colab which has free gpus (t4 gpus I guess) but stops every 12 hrs and can run only 1 instance per account.

BTW, any plans for these softwares to be written for ASICs to make them more faster?

Hey guys what is the ideal -b -t -p settings for 1080ti and v100 gpus?

They should be better documented or selected automatically like vanity search.

Also I was getting 1000mk/s on 1080ti on vanity search but only 300mk/s on bitcrack. What is this that slow? As far as I know vanity search only have to compare first 4-6 characters and this has to compare whole address. Is that the only reason for this slowness or something else in the implementation?

Re: How to make a profit from buying hash power from nicehash?

I created a Google Sheet to help who wants to try rent some hashpower on Nicehash and don't have idea what coin mine.

Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ieCRDdoGP_j20MeojLMvKafFb46bTisn1on_EUEBL-8/

The sheet connects in whattomine and nicehash API and combined do some calculations of each coin profitability.

Use this information just for fun! :-)

There is some problem with profit percentage calculation. You need to do Profit/nicehash price to get profit % because nicehash price is your initial investment. Your losses should never be more than -100% as shown in sheet like -1000% ans stuff. Modify the sheet to fix this.

Board Scam Accusations
User 'AccsBuySell' scammed me saying he'd send AWS account details.
by

on 11/01/2018, 06:30:38 UTC
What happened::
I contacted user "AccsBuySell" to buy some AWS accounts after seeing his comments. We talked and decided he'd sell 1 AWS account for 25$. I got screenshots of account limits in all regions I've requested screenshots. So I thought he has the account and is kinda legin. I send him 0.0544 Monero and he stopped replying.

Scammers Profile Link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1559584

Amount Scammed: 0.0544 XMR or 25$

Payment Method: Monero transaction.

Proof of Payment: https://moneroblocks.info/search/e492df02c169b7d47c7cf809420441dd73113cd004a288c970d483898d306921


PM/Chat Logs:   https://imgur.com/gallery/IkKWV/

Attached AWS account screenshots so don't believe them if another user is trying to sell that account (means same guy with another account).

Additional Notes: This is a newbie account and I can't use escrow because they only deal with bitcoin. And bitcoin transactions are costly. We think we will gain 100$ with mining in one AWS account and scammers think they'll gain 25$ with each skype and bitcointalk account. Avoid useless newbie scammers if selling something without escrow.

Is this really your friend's account or you bought a computer and you found a wallet on it?

Most probably the previous user of this computer might have stored their password somewhere on the computer itself. That might help you. You might have to use some services to analyze all deleted files on this computer to find some clues like txt files with email or passwords.

If that's not the case, it'd be really helpful what your friend might think the password is. Like if he thinks that it is a combination of some words or it is 10-16 characters long of there is a particular set of characters in the password somewhere or something. If nothing else, the only case is to try all possible passwords till 12-13 characters and if it doesn't work then we can lose all our hopes until our computational tech is so adv to crack that. It might take some decades.

You can mail me or skype me at milli2311ravi.000@gmail.com and we can discuss more and I think I might help you somehow.

I'd like to buy AWS accounts. New or old with good limits like 10-20 instances per region. Paying 30$ per account. If you are reliable and good I'll buy more accounts like ~20 per month at same price or a bit more if you and accounts are reliable and good.
