Hi everyone!

It's been a while since our last update, so first of all—thank you for all the continued support!

We've had a couple of new team members join recently, and we've been hard at work behind the scenes. We're currently working toward setting up our own servers, and we’ve also made some solid progress on the CUDA code. After updating it with the latest tools from the newest version, we saw a 3% improvement in token generation performance.

Even more exciting—we’re preparing for another round of AI training, this time with more computational power. We're splitting the training dataset into over 1,000 parts, which is a big lift, but it's all part of our plan to reduce the search dataset even further.

Thanks again for being part of this journey. The game is getting more exciting than ever!

Quick Analysis – Challenge 68

Hi everyone,

We've completed a quick analysis of challenge 68, specifically the hex value bebb3940cd0fc1491. This entry was not found in our database, and we’d like to explain why.

Summary of Findings:

• The value did not pass one of our pre-processing filters, which is why it wasn’t included in the final dataset.
• Binary representation of the hex:
  10111011101110110011100101000000110011010000111111000001010010010001
• It contained 10 unique characters: 0, 1, 3, 4, 9, b, c, d, e, f
• The sequence bbb appeared 3 times.
• The binary had more 0s than 1s — with two additional 0s overall.
• It included two rare patterns:
  • A block of 5 consecutive 0s
  • A block of 6 consecutive 0s
  having two blocks like this was automatically flagged.
• Another important detail:
  • The input starts with bebb, and the repeated bbb corresponds to binary 1011.
  • This resulted in a strong concentration of 1s on the left, which the filter interpreted as high-weighted leading bits.
  • This further pushed the value below the processing threshold.

Actions Taken:

• We’ve noted the issue internally and have already sent refunds in credits to everyone who was processing challenge 68 at the moment.
• You can now select new challenges using those credits.
• Quick Note: This combination was still marked to be processed, but it was scheduled to run after higher-priority entries.

Thank you for the support until now — let’s go for Challenge 69! 😊
We’re really having a lot of fun with this project and are truly grateful for all your insights and help.
Hope we catch the next one!

Hi, Website is down, we are working in fixing things for Challenge 69,71,72.

Quick Update

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick milestone — we’re now approaching 1.2 quadrillion keys generated!

Even more exciting, one of the latest keys matched 70% of the target key we’re searching for. We're getting closer!

Thanks so much for all the continued support — every bit of it helps.

Hi everyone,

We’ve put together a short video to demonstrate how our project, Smart Permutations, works in action.

This project is a community pool focused on a new approach to solving Challenge 68, using a unique method that generates permutations based on combinations. This significantly narrows the search space — in fact, our new theory has reduced the number of possible values by nearly 70%.

We successfully validated this approach during Challenge 67, where the winning combination was already included in our test set. That gave us strong confirmation that we’re on the right path — and now, we’re moving forward together with the community to take on Challenge 68 at scale.

Thanks to your incredible support, we’re now approaching 750 trillion keys tested — and the momentum keeps growing!

Hi everyone,

We’ve put together a short video to show how our project, Smart Permutations, works in action.

In simple terms:

We generate permutations of the first 12 characters on the CPU, where most of the heavy validations occur.
The remaining 5 characters are processed in parallel on the GPU, with each thread handling its own batch using CUDA.
In this demo, the script is running on my personal machine, but our production algorithm is fully optimized for multiple servers and multiple GPUs, enabling much higher performance at scale.

Thanks to your continued support, we’ve now tested nearly 750 trillion keys — and we’re just getting started!

Hi everyone, does anyone know if having 1 billion possible values for the first 10 digits of Challenge #135 the current algorithm allows input of multiple ranges for a single public address?

Hi everyone,

We've introduced a ChatBot to help explain our approach more effectively. It has already processed nearly 600 trillion combinations, and we're continuing to push the limits.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Big Update
Hi everyone,

I’ve received a lot of feedback and started working with a couple of developers who are reviewing the code. We successfully implemented GPU-based permutations, which increased the output by almost 20%.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed and provided feedback. Many users have mentioned that the website is too technical and difficult to understand, so I will continue working on improvements to make it more accessible.

Right now, I’m about to launch permutation number 500—hopefully, the winner is among us.

Cheers!

UPDATE 03/11/2025:

• Fixes in some translations.
• Working in the ChatBot 

If you find any bugs or have suggestions, please let me know.

Thank you!

UPDATE 03/10/2025:

• Multiple Languages Added – If anyone is interested in helping add more languages, I would greatly appreciate it.
• Cost Calculation Fix – We discovered an error in the cost calculation. Initially, the system assumed processing was done on a single CPU, but since it supports multi-threading, the actual cost is significantly lower.

- If you already deposited and started permutations, the refund for the extra credits has been automatically applied to your account.
- Special thanks to 4nd4ri3l for identifying the issue.

If you find any bugs or have suggestions, please let me know.

Thank you!

Thank you, everyone, for the feedback! I’d like to clarify a few points:

The characters stored in our database represent combinations, not permutations. In combinations, the order does not matter, but for each entry, we generate all possible permutations.
Our calculations ensure that permutations always start with a valid digit, keeping all values within the defined range for the challenge.

Database & Search Space Reduction

Currently, our database contains:

• Unlikely combinations: 1,889,976 → yielding 1,985,041,517,659,200,000 permutations.
  Likely combinations: 20,962,256 → yielding 23,846,195,702,320,992,000 permutations.

This results in a total of 25,831,237,219,980,192,000 possible values, compared to the total valid search space for challenge 68, which spans from 0x80000000000000000 to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (295,147,905,179,352,825,855 values).

Search Space Reduction

Using our approach, we have successfully reduced the search space by 91.25%, significantly improving computational efficiency.

Computational Setup & Optimizations

The software we built is designed to leverage GPUs for Bitcoin key generation, while CPUs handle permutation generation. Users on the website only pay for renting the required CPU and GPU resources—all other optimizations and enhancements are part of our system.

Over the years, we have implemented multiple optimizations to improve efficiency and scalability, including:

Avoiding I/O bottlenecks that would otherwise slow down processing.
Minimizing Host-Device Transfer Overhead, ensuring that data moves efficiently between the CPU and GPU.
Optimized parallel computation strategies, making the most of hardware resources.
This has been the work of many years, not just days, requiring extensive testing and fine-tuning to achieve these performance gains.

Theoretical Considerations

Our methodology suggests that this approach is valid, but of course, there are theoretical edge cases. For example, a value like 0x00000000FFFFFFFFF is technically valid, but due to the way random digit generation works, it is nearly impossible for a computer to generate such a value in practice. This is the hypothesis behind our filtering approach.

We are always open to insights and improvements—let me know your thoughts!

I worked in a project like this before, your main issue will be "double-spending" or "transaction replacement", try to find ways to mitigate this specially if transactions are large, also check with local regulations.

Hey everyone,

I’ve created a new Bitcoin puzzle-solving pool using a unique approach based on combinations and permutations. Instead of traditional brute-force methods, I’ve integrated 50+ variables into an AI model to define search boundaries, helping categorize and optimize each combination and permutation.

You can check out my project here: SmartPermutations.
I'll also be actively discussing it in this thread: Bitcointalk Forum.

Hope you like it and follow my progress—let’s crack Puzzle 68 together!

SmartPermutations – A New Approach to Bitcoin Puzzle Solving!

Hey everyone,

After finding out that Puzzle 67 has been solved, I regretted not making my research public earlier. I’ve been a huge follower of this puzzle for a long time, spending thousands of hours looking for patterns, testing hypotheses, and refining my approach.

  That’s why I created SmartPermutations—a new collaborative pool focused on combinations and permutations with a distributed search approach, instead of the traditional linear search method used by most pools.

  What Makes SmartPermutations Different?
✔ AI-Powered Pattern Recognition – Integrated 50+ parameters into an AI model to detect search boundaries, making the search process more efficient.
✔ Distributed Search Model – Instead of brute-force or linear methods, our approach intelligently distributes the workload.
✔ Pre-Filtered Combinations – The system categorizes the search space into recommended and unlikely combinations to optimize efforts.
✔ Proven Concept – The solution for Puzzle 67 was already in my dataset—I just wanted to solve it alone.

  Current Pool Statistics:
Recommended Combinations: 10 million
Unlikely Combinations: 12 million
Other Raw Combinations: 30 million (not listed on the site but available for testing)

  Join the Search & Collaborate!
This is an exciting time for the Bitcoin puzzle-solving community, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’ll be very active in this thread, answering questions, sharing insights, and discussing new search techniques.

I also have a few side projects related to this effort, and you can find more details on my website.

Looking forward to collaborating with fellow puzzle solvers and Bitcoin enthusiasts!
