I never trust other people's code. Only the programs I write myself are the most stable.(linux) Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin
 Reward address: 1JWM1RsRFuct6y9JCwhx3TibvhDJVB2Ldn

What is this code for??
First, it generates addresses sequentially, but the search space is so large that even with a GPU it would take years to sort through part of the range.
Second, this code generates uncompressed addresses when the puzzle uses compressed addresses.
That is, this code will never find anything.
Third, almost any user of this topic can write such code on their knee.
In extreme cases, using chatgpt, you can generate hundreds of variations of such code.
So stop posting meaningless posts.

You want me to show you comolete script free of cost. that is so cheap thinking

As Alberto wrote above, you can sign a message with any of the puzzle keys 120, 125, 130. If you can't do this, then you're just a scammer.

I solved the 4 Puzzles using a python script.
solving 130 took 3 months of continously running the script.
i have enough money now.
selling my script for $9999
for all the proofs and to buy the script Contact telegram @margeletio
you can run the script on a very low end PCs also.

go away scammer !!!!


See it here without proof you cannot blame anyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x3LwSqNMI4

There is no evidence on the video.
You can see the work of a regular Python script, of which I can write a dozen in half an hour.
And yes, they will work, but it will take thousands of years to find any real key.

1Prestige1zSYorBdz94KA2UbJW3hYLTn4 has been emptied half hour ago Smiley Probably owner get fear from script...

Seems that 125 puzzle and 130 puzzle BTC are sit on 3Emiwzxme7Mrj4d89uqohXNncnRM15YESs.

120 is also solved by 3Emi.

This 3Emi guy is definitely hiding something, or the creator himself..

Key 130 was found by the same person as the previous two.
I think he used Kangaro, and this person is a miner. The timing is roughly consistent.
I also don't think he will share the keys he found and how exactly he found them.

Hello there  Smiley

Wow, Gratz to the solver of puzzle 130   Shocked



Yeah... It's an unpleasant situation for me, and I think for many.
A lot of time and effort has been spent.
But in any case, let's be happy for the winner!
I hope he will provide a private key so that we can make sure that we have applied our efforts and skills in the right direction.
Or we should continue to learn and come up with new search methods.

Hi guys, I made a little key miner that works for keys 66, 67 and 68, using a tiny super mini esp32-c2, it only generates about 24 keys per second but it's a very low power microcontroller, it has an audible alarm to hear when I win the prize, what do you think?

https://imgur.com/a/bitcoin-puzzle-Ay0xXiY

This is pretty good for a start.
The speed is not great, of course, but it will do for general education.
Well, everyone knows that a tree grows from a small seed.
Good luck with your development.

We have a pool for puzzle 130, with our 254-bit interval implementation:
https://github.com/puzzlesearch/kangaroo

check out our website:
https://puzzlesearch.github.io/

We are looking for new members to join our pool! currently we have computing power equivalent to 7 4090s. Soon we will rent more 4090s.

It's a bit concerning that this post is coming from a fresh account with no history or reputation on the forum. Why should anyone trust a pool run by completely unknown operators with no track record to speak of? Joining a pool like this, without knowing who's behind it or seeing any proof of past success, is risky at best and could very well be a scam.

After checking the linked GitHub repository, things look even more suspicious. The so-called "updates" in their fork are not significant improvements to the code. In fact, it just adds an option to connect to a specific IP address (129.159.146.90) instead running it locally on the own GPU. If you even watched carefully the updates are from the last minutes/hours, so it looks the Github repository is as fresh as the user account "bitcurve".

For anyone considering joining, I'd strongly urge you to think twice. If something goes wrong, the regret and potential loss could be much worse than you expect. Please be cautious when dealing with new and unverified projects like this. Stay safe and always verify the legitimacy of projects before committing any resources.

Even the age and reputation of the account mean nothing. The account can be stolen, which we often see in the announcements of new projects.
And this does not depend on the platform.
I have had three accounts stolen here alone, although this did not happen on GitHub, but there I immediately connected 2FA.

Pub Address (Extended):                  4MfFsKsazAXve7DsPH6644tBvfNic7TVg3MgGJochCBzq4dGsa8abgz8Vnb63beVNuwi
What is that supposed to be?
This is the extended public key. I didn't verify it yet, but if it is valid, then by knowing this key, you could potentially derive all public keys from the puzzle. And if that would be confirmed, then someone could sweep all unsolved keys, up to the 125-bit public key.

        // Note that of those which support the service bits prefix, most only support a subset of
        // possible options.
        // This is fine at runtime as we'll fall back to using them as an addrfetch if they don't support the

        // release ASAP to avoid it where possible.

Here is the script.

Nice script i really like it, i may learn something from you Smiley

Here there is a function that I use for my keyhunt bsgsd server:

Code:
def send_and_receive_line(host, port, message):
    # Create a TCP socket
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

    try:
        # Connect to the server
        sock.connect((host, port))

        # Send the message
        start_time = time.time()
        sock.sendall(message.encode())

        # Receive the reply
        reply = sock.recv(1024).decode()
        end_time = time.time()

        # Calculate the elapsed time
        elapsed_time = end_time - start_time
        sock.close()
        return reply, elapsed_time
    except ConnectionResetError:
        print("Server closed the connection without replying.")
        return None, None
    except ConnectionRefusedError:
        print("Connection refused. Make sure the server is running and the host/port are correct.")
        return None, None
    except AttributeError:
        return None, None

This function only send a message to a IP:port and wait for the reply returning it also the time elapsed (For speed calculation)

I call the previous function with this one that format the publickey with range_A:range_B

Code:
def keyhunt_client(target):
    host = 'localhost'  # Change this to the server's hostname or IP address
    port = 8080       # Change this to the server's port number
    message = "{} {}:{}".format(target["publickey"],target["start"],target["end"])
    reply, elapsed_time = send_and_receive_line(host, port, message)
    if( reply != "404 Not Found"):
        return reply
    else:
        return None

I use some target because i have a list of all puzzles with their respective ranks

With those codes you don't depend of Netcat  or shell commands.



Here's my option.

Code:
    def send_request(self, pub_key, range):
        global key_found
        request_str = f"{pub_key} {range}"
        s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        try:
            s.connect((self.server_address, 8181))
            s.sendall(request_str.encode())
            response = s.recv(1024)
            response_str = response.decode().strip()
            if response_str not in ("404 Not Found", "400 Bad Request"):
                print(f"\nThe private key for {pub_key} is: {response_str}")
                with open('Found.txt', 'a') as f:
                    f.write(f"Public key: {pub_key}, Private key: {response_str}\n")
                key_found = True
        except ConnectionRefusedError:
            print(f"Connection refused by {self.server_address}")
            self.connected = False
        finally:
            s.close()

    def check_server(self):
        self.connected = check_server(self.server_address)

def check_server(server_address):
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    s.settimeout(5)
    try:
        s.connect((server_address, 8181))
        return True
    except socket.error:
        return False
    finally:
        s.close()

Several people asked me via private message to send them the script I used.

Here is the script.


Apparently you used chatgpt, since I got an almost identical script. There are some minor differences, but the structure is the same.

If this is possible with puzzle 66 address, then any address with tx in mempool is possible to be taken. Just the range is a little bigger but still computing the pvk should be the same easy as is for puzzle 66.

Then all BTC is in danger. You may want to try steal any other tx in mempool when there is pubkey available.

No. 

Properly generated bitcoin private key is insanely hard to crack  (it's 256 bit). Whole bitcoin strength is based on a fact that cracking 256bit is generally considered as impossible.

This can change when quantum machines will be introduced but currently you will not crack it even having PK available.

Yes, it is possible. Just dividing pubkey by some values. Hitting the pvk is matter of even 2 seconds as other fella said here.

Ok ... So why all the puzzles with lower ranges are still sitting there ?   Why nobody can crack puzzle 130 ? If that would be possilble all the puzzles would be empty now and every day we would be hearing about stolen bitcoins after making transactions (and releasing public key).

We can divide any public key by any number, but we will never know what range it will be in.
We cannot even divide by 2 with 100 confidence that the division was performed correctly, since the parity of the public key is unknown.

Yes, I agree with this. I've observed some unusual occurrences because not all miners adhere to the same rules. There have been instances where transactions with lower fees were mined instead of those with higher fees, such as 20 satoshis per virtual byte (sat/vB) being chosen over 200 sat/vB. This happens because not all miners promptly update their block templates when a transaction's fee is increased by a bot. Therefore, even if you offer the highest fee, there's no guarantee you'll win the mining competition.


How can I have this bot of yours, will it be available on github?

Probably when 66, 67, 68, 69 are over  Grin

This is not fair. How can we get a piece of cake?

This is not a public pool, everyone invests their time and knowledge. In this thread and in development, the guys are laying out excellent tools, without which we would not have been able to get to 66 and 130. This is your piece of the pie, but it’s up to you to decide how to use it.

That's all good, but you manually changed the range from 66 to 62. When I insert the 66 range into the bot script, there are no changes afterward. I go to sleep, and the script works by itself.

I didn't change the range, I immediately set the range from 1 to 68 bits.
