I wonder how many million years it takes you to solve puzzle 135?   Tongue

Scripts based on public keys and x and y coordinates are completely useless here because there are no public keys until puzzle #135. There are only two logical options: either invent a new algorithm that will compute HASH160 1000 times faster, or go for 2000 GPUs. I don’t know which method is worse. In any case, this is a dead end. All we can do is showcase useless scripts. Which is exactly what we’re already doing.  Grin

You forgot to mention the even/odd inverse function. The problem is still open.
Not a single brightest mind on this planet can find the solution. Otherwise one would know the keys to satoshi treasures.
Pesonally I do not compete on who will introduce the best C++ or GPU program.
For me the main interest is in learning new things. Programming itself is a good way to keep the mind spinning.
Of course pity for those who think that someone will publish here some code that will make them rich overnight.
Especially funny I find here those saying that they can find here nothing interesting and introducing themself as experts of some kind.
The best thing for them would be to join some pro cryptographers and math geeks forum to find new ideas there.
But they hang around reading every thread to prove to themselves that they can find here nothing. Some pretty odd situation.

Does anyone know who the author of the puzzle is?JPL?…

I know who the creator is.
- He cannot be contacted digitally in any way. (But he can reach you.)
- Someone who likes to travel in the mountains, go camping, etc.
- One of the first people to introduce Bitcoin in the EUROPE region and in his own country during the early days of Bitcoin.
- A person who has some interesting comments about the creator of Bitcoin (SATOSHI) and gives clues about who the Satoshi group is.
- The head of the Fund donations who helps people in some regions with the help of 6 associations.
- Finally, a person who has more than 28500 BTC detected in the total of his accounts.
- Just the Last Hint - A citizen of a country you cannot guess (Europe)

You're more likely to find the puzzle keys than to get in touch with him, lol No one wants to become a target.

There are probably people who have better ways of dealing with these things more efficiently, but they don't bring them to light, either because people are very unsupportive of this type of thing or because they keep it to themselves.

I've been working on an optimization for the Kangaroo algorithm that avoids common memory and resource issues.

since it doesn't rely on HTs, BFs or massive storage of distinguished points to calculate the solution when a collision occurs(Yes, this is possible, the solution is simpler than one might suppose).

But I've honestly held back from publishing code because i don't want to have a barrage of disrespectful trolls devaluing the idea.

It's not that I mind criticism; criticism is always welcome if it comes from a respectful perspective.

And this doesn't speed up the algorithm in its theoretical essence, but it makes it more efficient in practice by drastically reducing RAM usage and avoiding expensive I/O operations, which allows it to scale to larger ranges with the same resources.

I don't think it's a miracle idea either, but at least it's progress.

Maybe in the future I will publish it in a self-moderated post.

Yes my friend you are right. In many platforms, everyone is full of free code, dreams of getting rich.
Many of the people who want to show themselves as EXPERTS have become famous only with the answers given through AI (Artificial Intelligence).
I do not think that people who are cryptographers or math experts will want to come here. Because here, a person who comes will immediately encounter trolls or people who give similar answers, so they will not come.
Actually the subject is very simple, as the creator said.
"Testing the power of society." But many people I see do not deserve to be a society or a group.

I have already experienced that power of trolls. To me it looks like one psycho personality having multiple accounts.
He does not spread his trolling acts to github though because he knows the owner can delete such issues. Here they seem to do nothing about it.

When someone uses AI all day long, they'll only see everything as AI in their life, to the point they can't even make the difference any longer.

I guess big companies really pay some people very good money just because they can simply prompt some GPT to spit out skills, which definitely aren't what an above-average folk with higher degree studies is ever capable of. In fact, why should anyone actually think anything any longer? That sounds useless!

Hooray to GPT. Someone please inform all companies and universities to get rid of all of their employers, teachers, Why waste so much money when you have GPT? just keep the handy man, I don't think AI can clean off the dust or wash the floors yet. Not until Elon ships out his grocery buying robots at least. In fact - just shut down all operations, and sell the buildings. GPT can handle everything, from nursering your baby, to satisfying your spouse while you're busy binging 3 Body Problem (which was written, filmed, post-edited. and automatically distributed globally by an AI, obviously; no humans involved, why would that be needed at any stage?). Oh, and all the "actors" were CGI - no one needs humans to do that kind of job. It's wasted money.

Did you write this for me? Cheesy
You are really funny old boy.

I use GPT maybe 1-2 hours a week. It is for writing articles.

Personalities who do not contribute anything, only write something to people while sitting. All of them are empty things. Even if someone warns him, he may have even become lovers with the GPT he keeps at home. But he is not aware of it. lol

You are so funny right now, I seriously laughed. I guess you are jealous of the companies that pay me... Ahh old boy, are you an IT TECHNICIAN who applies the tactic of making money with ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

I have a suggestion for the friends here. I will not write the name of this person, check out all his answers. See what it is with your own eyes. lol

I would like to chat with you more. But I do not spare time for empty people. lol


Edit;

@AlexanderCurl
That's what I was telling you, my friend.

The only ones who are useless are those who try to play TROLLING.

I am no longer sharing any ideas or thoughts here.

There are currently 136 people in my group. It is an environment where people first feel RESPECT. Those who speak DISRESPECTFUL or RUDE are immediately removed from the group.

In addition, some information is shared.

And this is not so powerful CPU Ryzen 7 5800H

I recently forked your Cyclone and added a couple of tweaks Now with -bit and -subzeros for Fine-Grained Private Key Range Control.

-bit – lets you select the bit length for the random private key range (e.g. -bit 71)
-subzeros – lets you define how many trailing hex characters (zeroes) the range should have.

Code:
-bit 71 -subzeros 8

This will generate a key range like:

Code:
4ec00159ac00000000 : 4ec00159acffffffff



You can adjust the number of zeroes based on your CPU thread count and brute-force capability.

I’m planning to build or buy a more powerful CPU setup (under $2k), and I’d love some suggestions from the community on CPUs with strong multi-core performance suitable for this kind of workload.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

There are currently 136 people in my group.

Then why waste time doing it?
I was thinking of raising up your inexistent merit from zero to 1 for "I am no longer sharing any ideas or thoughts here.". That's a good decision after 233 zero-valued posts! But then I remembered how it's impossible for you to ever admit your mistakes.

Hope the other 135 people are aware that their fascist leader can't count bits properly, while calling everyone else (who haven't yet ignored him) as AI disfunctional idiots.

He’s not contributing anything meaningful and is actually spamming the threads this isn’t the first time.
In an indirect way, he's trying to push people to buy ,,, Every now and then, he posts something like this.
I’m not here to agree or disagree with what he’s doing, but it’s important to point out his intention: marketing.

I noticed that some people in the group are searching for prefixes of the Bitcoin address:

1PWo3JeB9jrGwfHDNpdGK54CRas7fsVzXU

For example: 1PWo3JeB, and so on.
Can anyone with experience explain the reasoning behind this?

It doesn’t make sense to me, since the private key is what gets incremented, and each key generates a completely different Bitcoin address.

What am I missing here?!!!

You are not missing anything. They just try to be creative, that's all.
As you mentioned, it does not make sense. But if they are having fun with it, let it be.

The purpose is jump between prefixs for reduce scanning, but the problem is the distance between prefixs target is not same because the distribution is not predictable.
this the example of scanning with sequential, you can see the distance is can't predicted. Even when we use average distance but that not guarantee the calculation not skipped the puzzle target.
