Why post this...its pointless to post this on this thread.

I have created a pool of sorts to collectively solve bit 64 of this challenge.

if you goto http://www.ttdsales.com/64bit/

create an account and you will get access to the user and stats page.  From there you can download the client software. 

It works with bitcrack and the server to hand out work and keep track of what has been checked.

Each range work load is 000000000 - FFFFFFFFF or 68,719,476,735 keys.  I selected this range because it does not complete to quickly on top hardware and is still easily completed in less then an hour with slower GPUs.

8000000 - FFFFFFF is generated by the server randomly.  There is a btc address I have generated for all 134,217,728 ranges in the DB.  The private key for these addresses are used as proof of work for the range work loads.  When the client software finishes a range and submits this proof the DB marks that range as checked and dispenses another.  Before being dispensed the range is checked against the DB to ensure it hasn't already been checked. What I am calling a random collision.

All work completed is kept track of for each user and displayed on your user stats page.

If/when we find the solution the bitcoin stored in 16jY7qLJnxb7CHZyqBP8qca9d51gAjyXQN will be split between the contributing users equally according to work completed just like a bitcoin mining pool would for a mined block.  This percentage is displayed on your stats page.

Please check it out and pm me with any thoughts comments questions or ideas for improvements.

It is a work in progress but seems to be functioning nicely for my 6 machines that have been running on it for a couple of weeks now.  Currently running ~1.37 Billion Keyss.

P.S.  ttdclient !

In software sits   -  Malicious.b2d2dd  

I am going to try and better explain the range functionality in the software

the first part of the range is selected randomly and the last 9 hex digits are the work range the clients perform.

So
8000000 + 000000000

through

FFFFFFF + FFFFFFFFF

an example work range that might be tasked to a client would be

A23FBA1000000000 - A23FBA1FFFFFFFFF

I hope this makes more sense

I understand there will be concern over the nature of the software.  I hesitate to openly release the code for fear that it will more easily allow someone to game the system.  I can give more details about the software if that helps.  I used .net core 3.0 and wrote the client in c# and compiled a single EXE for distribution.  I am hoping that the fact that I hosted this with my business domain that lists my real name and contact info will give some comfort to weary users.

Like any pool mining machine yes it does need to be connected to the internet to get and submit work.

The technology is certainly interesting.
Someone here on the forum has already described this search method.
But I am worried about the presence of Malicious.b2d2dd in your ttdclient (exe)

I just added top 10 contributors to the stats page. See screen shot here..

If you want to solve bit 64 as a collective force check it out. http://www.ttdsales.com/64bit/

It is kind of fun seeing bit crack solve the work range key vs not ever solving anything for endless hours/days/weeks.  Kind of reassures that it is even working.

I have made my email address available on the user stats page if you have any thoughts on making things better.

is all of them are done and solved ?
Because all wallet that i check are zero balance !! so this puzzle is end ?

This topic is old. The new one was created - pls go here: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5166284.0
There was also the increase in total bounty amount up to 100BTC (funds from wallets 161-256 were moved to wallets up to 160, and the additional funds were added)

2048 addresses and they are all empty
