Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
However, I’m not responsible for what happens after that.
The script processes keys in batches (e.g., POINTS_BATCH_SIZE). A large stride might cause the batch size to be exceeded, leading to incomplete or incorrect processing, progress calculation or even crashing the entire program.
That’s why I don’t like to mess with other people’s scripts. It’s easier for me to rebuild a new one from scratch than to try to support someone else’s script that works in a way they think is well-designed.

Hey nomachine, maybe you already mentioned this in an earlier message, and if so I apologize. Why am I getting almost twice the MH/s with your program than I get with the original Cyclone program? Have you optimized for this much of a speed increase, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Speaking of coin flips and probabilities. I'm curious to see how many of you can solve this logic question (without Googling the answer of course). My brother first heard it at a job interview and later he told me. I was able to solve it but it took me a good 20 minutes of thinking.
Here it is:
Here it is:
Code:
You have a weighted coin. When you flip it, it will either land on heads or tails, but [b]not[/b] with a 50/50 probability. In fact, you don't know the probabilities (could be 51% chance of heads, 49% chance of tails.. Could be 99%/1%, could be 45.1234132452%/54.8765867548%).
How can you make an exact 50/50 decision every time with this unknown weighted coin?

Re: Lifesavings stuck in Bitcoin Core, I forgot the password. Please help
BTCRecover is definitely your best bet here. If I were you, I would combine it with a password generating tool such as cracken (https://github.com/shmuelamar/cracken) to generate a big list of possible passwords.
For example:
cracken --wordlist firstnames.txt --wordlist lastnames.lst --charset 'ABCDEFabcdefg' '?w1?w2?1?d?d?d'
this command would create a list of all possible combinations of:
Wordlist1 + Wordlist2 + One of these characters: ABCDEFabcdefg + A digit from 0-9 + A digit from 0-9 + A digit from 0-9

cracken --wordlist firstnames.txt --wordlist lastnames.lst --charset 'ABCDEFabcdefg' '?w1?w2?1?d?d?d'

Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
Wondering if anyone can help me with this.
Just curious - how long would it take for the average household desktop computer now in 2025 to get through 50% of the keys for puzzle 67?
I want to know to better explain this puzzle to my family/friends.
Thanks!!

#67 range is 73.79 quintillion
#68 range is 147.57 quintillion
#69 range is 295.15 quintillion
73.79 quintillion = 73790000000000000000
your new houshold Pc can prob do 8 Mkeys/s without high end GPU!
so about 292,277 years or 148,639 years for 50% of the range in #67 to answer your question!
Awesome, thanks!
