Thanks, but I guess I can't run it, It gave about x4 .dll missing errors, each one I downloaded and added to the same folder, and then it said "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000007b). Click OK to close the application.
I will perhaps check back a week or so and try to download it again.

nomachine any chance you can also release a compiled version for noobs like me to run it as well?

lol
and lol
I rarely laugh reading things but I swear you guys provide some level of entertainment not found elsewhere.

I would not have thought the year 2025 would be the war of the prefixes.
You guys really need to understand this. You literally change 1 character and the prefix has no use. 1BY8GQbnuXX can be at the start of the range, while 1BY8GQbnuXXY can be at the very end of the range. There's no link. You can't reverse it. I'm having a hard time to even express this because it's such a stupid idea.

Bitcoin just hit 100k again. Time for some ChatGPT + Python + Crackpot theories and the enduring acceptance of defeat as I cook my ramen noodles.

I have gathered as much strength and determination as I could and decided to read the last 10 pages of this thread as an ultimate homage to my English teacher and her hours of reading comprehension lessons. My brain is completely toast.

I too have had some bad food trying to solve puzzle 66. I eat only knacki sausages (like a wiener) and I live only on this knacki sausage and cut it into 66 pieces and randomly eat a piece hoping it will get me closer in solving the puzzle. My dreams are destroyed because I now have to move on to puzzle 135 and we don't have the technology to cut a knackie sausage into 130 pieces unless you are privelage family and own a butchery with extra large knacki sausages.
I demand that if the stealer transfer you 50%, then i want 25% of that to me to better my bad food situation

If you think there's a simple mathematical pattern, you should team up with the guy who's trying to solve it with Photoshop charts and have digiran oversee you both.

So can we confirm now puzzle #66 was solved and casually emptied by a normal transaction without any "bot war" taking place?
I'm personally not affected by #66 being solved because even though I've been at it for a year or so, I looked through all my theories, all my notes, all my scripts, and not one of them were even close to the solved keyspace/binary/hex/decimal.

Theoretically, which puzzle is now "easier" to solve for a normal person with standard resources? puzzle #67 with all kids of trash scripts, or #130 with kangaroo? 

So you're saying that you can still use JLP's code for #130 as long as the range is smaller? smaller by how much? can you give me an example?
You mean like instead of
200000000000000000000000000000000:3ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
you make it like
210000000000000000000000000000000:220000000000000000000000000000000 
or something?

I'm not running, or compiling a github that came out of nowhere only 3 days ago, the same time you registered here and have pasted the link several times.
Github is just a repository, it does not means there's a single line hidden somewhere in thousands of lines of codes and folders which sends you the key once solved.


I'm asking for a proper solution from a community developer or a github the can vouch for that everyone knows, like wandering/alberto etc....

My question is what are you all scanning with for the 130 puzzle, even when JeanLucPons himself clearly states, twice:

According to my rundown of the last few pages, it seems you guys are on the cusp of solving puzzle #66 which will end up being snatched by a bot.

kTimesG having an intervention with k3ntINA that he should consult a psychiatrist and explain to them exactly what he discovered in the Adobe vector, they can help him further.
joseperal concludes that "we could just try to target the searches for the the master private key that was used in the HD wallet"
009GetRandom courageously volunteering his "last gen zen laptop" in the search for #66 but modestly admin that he know "jack dick about cryptography".
AliBah is inquiring on where to "find the big list of funded btc public keys". What could he be up to?

Like Bitcoin's price, this thread pumps sometimes with interesting info for a few pages, and then other times it dumps a few pages into red.
The past few pages are pretty red.

kachev87 with no proper programing skills saves some time for the would be c++ programmer to convert his ChatGTP python code to run in full GPU mode.
joseperal finding puzzle #30 is already emptied.

nomachine suggest puzzle 79,81...
What is your suggestion as the lowest safest puzzle to put your efforts in?

Why don't you guys understand? during that time the puzzles had like 0.0064 bitcoin it. Why would it create a world wide bot race and why would someone waste hundreds or thousands of dollars in fees to withdraw it?
It only became an issue once the creator increased the puzzle prize and since then, no lower end puzzle have been solved.

There's simply no feasible way to withdraw the funds on lower end puzzles like #66. It will be snatched up by bots. Not maybe, but it's 100% guaranteed. There will be hundreds of withdrawal transactions with varying fees all battling each other. You will simply be left in the dust.

It's a fundamental flaw in this puzzle that was originally aimed to bring the community together and try to solve the puzzle. The puzzle creator did not think much about the puzzle, and this is proof of it.

The only way the original solver will get the funds of puzzle #66 is if they can prove to be in possession of the private keys directly to the puzzle creator. The puzzle creator then withdraws the funds at a 6BTC fee (they can afford it) to your address.

Google "kids around a table meme" to see how you guys are alraedy discussing how to move the funds once you solved puzzle #66 with your Python script written by ChatGPT.
then
Google "rich guys laughing meme" to see the bots that will steal your prize in a few seconds.

Correct, but I won't call it a "scammer", perhaps just a leech.  And it won't be found within 1 minute. It will be found within a few seconds. The leech will still get 6 bitcoins, so even 200k RBF won't be too far fetched, as he'll get double his money back.
I feel sorry for people who enthusiastically tried puzzle 66 for many months or even a year or two, without realizing even if they found the private key there's no way in hell they will be able to withdraw it because unless you have 20/30/40k sitting around to gamble on the RBF lottery, you're not getting those funds.

The reason this did not happen before is because puzzle 65 and lower had very little to no reward money in it, so it was not worth the bidding war, but this all changes when the puzzle creator decided to put 6+ BTC in each puzzle. Now there's more people sitting and waiting with bots than people trying to solve.
