Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Damn!!! whoever the solver of 130 bit is. is genius..!!!
Of course, that is JLP himself, but apparently not with the GitHub version of Kangaroo 2.2.
This is version 8.0 at least.
How do you know it is JLP ?
Because when it comes to solving 130-bit, even the Kangaroo needs a turbo boost... and JLP's got the keys to the garage!
Then why hast he shared the private key yet ? i mean he is a great contributor if he solved it im pretty sure he would have shared the found private key right ?

Damn!!! whoever the solver of 130 bit is. is genius..!!! damn i was on it for 3 years i thought i was almost there.. i know i would get a lot of hate for what im about top tell but.. i was working so hard on this so i could give my dad a better care for my father coz he's terminally ill. now the difficulty just got harder 
and got to redo the math from scratch.. good luck for the solver. just sad i couldn't make it.

Hey Guys,, the Question is about Kangaroo. i'm a bit confused.. the kangaroo designed by JeanLucPons. is the program restricted to work only inside the range of 125 bits? if yes what does it mean? because i tried it with a 130 bit range and it seems to work and in the issues section i see people talking about how it wouldn't work for 130 bits can someone tell me what they are talking about ?
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
can anyone tell me if the puzzle 130 starts from 2 or 3 ? since the range is 0x200000000000000000000000000000000 and 0x3ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff can anyone tell me if its private key starts from 2 or 3 ?
it starts with 3. Good luck
how do you say this ? is there a certain way to know if it starts from 3 ?
of course there is. But I am not allowed to tell you the details.
A Mathematical way ?

Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Hey Guys i have a question.. well lets say we subtract a target public key puzzle (130) using key subtractor with 1000000000000000000000000000 continuously at some point it movies from the additive inverse to the negative inverse right? are there any ways we could possible know at what point the reset point happened ?
i want to develop a way to measure distance between 2 public keys what i mean by distance is the time it takes to reach from point B to point A lets say the private key of A is 50 and B is 100 lets assume that it takes about 2 minuets to go from B to A using point negation.. how do i get the estimate time it takes to go from B to A ?
Hey guys I'm trying to develop a feedback system on the position of two secp256k1 public keys. and based on what I have tried the best feedback is the ETA. for example if the time taken to reach from 100 to 1 is 5 minuets it should be 2.5 minuets for 50 to go to 1 if I get the public keys and it is true if the 100 becomes grater and the ETA changes.
Here is something that I tried but didn't work, not sure why it didn't work. I would greatly appreciate if someone could point me at the right direction if I'm on the wrong side :-)
So here is the steps I followed :
Convert Public Keys to Coordinates: The public keys you've provided are in hexadecimal format. You'll need to convert them to coordinates on the elliptic curve (x, y).
Perform Point Comparison: Compare the x-coordinates of the two public keys to determine if they represent the same point on the secp256k1 elliptic curve. If the x-coordinates are the same, it's highly likely they correspond to the same public key.
Measure Execution Time: To measure the time taken for the comparison, you can use a programming language with libraries for working with elliptic curves like Python or a specialized cryptography library like OpenSSL. You will need to use functions for secp256k1 point comparison and time measurement.
Here's a Python code example using the pycoin library for comparing two secp256k1 public keys and measuring the time it takes:
This code converts the public keys to coordinates and then compare their x-coordinates. It will print whether the public keys are the same or different and also display the execution time.

Hey Guys!
I was wondering if a feedback system be established to determine the relative positions of two secp256k1 public keys? For instance, if one wishes to ascertain the distance between the public key associated with private key 100 and the public key of 1, and observes that it takes an average of 5 minutes to transition from key 100 to key 1, could one infer that the distance is halved when moving from key 50 to key 1, resulting in an average time of 2.5 minutes? Is it feasible to obtain such feedback?
Well, at first I thought you just cracked elliptic curve cryptography, but again when I think about your idea, of course you can have that, but it won't be accurate and precise, though you are talking about 1 and 100, while in the case of puzzle keys, we are now looking at 2^129 to be the distance between 2 keys. However if you are seeing your speed, you can guess the time yourself, just set the counter on your pc and check how long it takes.I was wondering if a feedback system be established to determine the relative positions of two secp256k1 public keys?

Wait let me tell you, it takes the same as your speed rate, if 10 key per second is your speed, it should take around 10 seconds to go from 1 to 100.
Now I have an idea, what if we divide our key by 2 and start adding 100 trillion G at each step, we should see our original target +100 T at some point in time, right?
For example, target 1000, divide by 2 = 500, if we keep adding 10 to 500 we would reach 1000 after 50 steps and in 51st step we would see 1010, that way we can find our target very fast, right?
Let me go try a few things.😉
Hey Have you tried something? lemme know and btw.. do you think there exists a way to get feedback on the position of the secp256k1 public key?

Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Alright, this question might sound stupid but pardon me, i need to educate myself about this but I'm not able to find any piece of info on internet that can put this confusion at ease. So when a new block is mined it says COINBASE (Newly Generated Coins) so from where are these new coins getting generated? if the definition of poW is just authenticating a transaction how is authenticating a transaction generating new coins??. what is a coin? what data does it hold? the next question is what is actually inside a private key..?? when we say a coin has anyone in here read the data in the coin? what is a Bitcoin (i know its a digital currency) but i really wanna know what bitcoin truly is is it just a number associated with the private key..?? (what i mean by it is, lets say 1BgGZ9tcN4rm9KBzDn7KprQz87SZ26SAMH has 1btc, where is that 1 btc..?? how is a value given..? from where is it generated? what is coinbase? when i recive 1btc in my wallet what am i receiving..?
would greatly appreciate an answer
thanks

Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Each one can scan 23 TKey/s using CuBitcrack or the whole 16 Tesla's GPUs?
I don't think there's a method to crack puzzles fast, unless of course if you have public key.
All you can do in my opinion is to search randomly in puzzle 64 using 16 Tesla's GPUs with the speed of 23TKey/s and hope for luck to get the private key.
if you perform 23 TKey/s
you need modified bitcrack and my list
that will take 7 days to find
are you sure we can find the privatekey in 7 days..?
While your node is up to date with latest blocks, your wallet is out of sync. This is normal when you recover a wallet from a back up.
If you look at your wallet, the last transaction it shows is in 2012. If you look up the address on a block explorer - https://mempool.space/address/1MSHHa7vC3zKGAvZ1LuS7tvBKe58wtZbsr - you'll see two transactions since then: A deposit of 0.025 BTC in 2020, and then a withdrawal of the full balance of the wallet (9.8351537 BTC) in 2021.
Use the command rescanblockchain to sync your wallet with the latest blocks and I'm afraid the balance will then disappear.

rescanblockchain

Can't rescan beyond pruned data. Use RPC call getblockchaininfo to determine your pruned height. (code -1)
How exactly did you check the wallet.dat file balance?
If you check the wallet.dat file through the newly installed Bitcoin core there is a possibility that the wallet is showing a balance while the core is syncing and not fully synced yet?
If you can post the BTC address of that wallet.dat file we can check it on Block explorer to make sure you are not bluffing.
There are lots of newbies here telling that they found a wallet.dat with a large amount of BTC but most of them are bluff and they mostly created a thread for hunting merits.
Why not use the recovery service which is already posted by OmegaStarScream?

even i don't understand that ill post a video of my wallet.. its fully synchronized wallet and it shows balance. it shows balance even when i do getbalance and getbalances on the console but if i go to the blockchain to look up it shows 0 here's the video https://www.veoh.com/watch/v142199711cTqnb2Bd please help me

Hello guys,
I wanna team up with people wo believes in team work than goin solo in here to solve at least 2 puzzles, you write the code and i have resource to run i have 16 tesla A100 gpus with it we can scan unto 23 TKey/s i'm not a great programmer but i have resources like Steve jobs always said what a team can achieve an individual cannot achieve. i look forward to making a team a great one

you are right i still have access to it, its an aws instance i do 3d modelling for a living so i require such configurations but the dat file i found it on my google drive a couple of days ago tried importing it in a bitcore wallet it asks for password even to generate a new receiving address
