I see a pattern but I do not think it will help much.

My conjecture is that the sequence number (the BTC amount) simply states the number of random bits in the private key.

Check it out:

The 0.001 BTC output used a 1 bit key (already claimed obviously)

The 0.002 BTC output used a 2 bit key

The 0.003 BTC output used a 3 bit key

etc...

The 0.019 BTC output used a 19 bit key

So I would claim the next unclaimed output uses a 51 bit key.

so does that mean someone has cracked the puzzle? and claimed all (or most) of the 32 BTC?

Oh, in that case I'm sorry. I thought it was him who was offering this. So who's offering it ?

I posted this puzzle transaction in January'15
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/932434.0

(This tx was not sent by me)

Let me translate from Russian into English the main point in my prevoius post:

First output: take random number from 2⁰ upto 2¹-1, use it as private key
Second output: take random number from 2¹ upto 2²-1, use it as private key
Third output: take random number from 2² upto 2³-1, use it as private key
And so on...

they seem to be always close to the double of the previous value, excluding the first few values.

Hi guys,

In continuation to this thread: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/1305887.0

While playing around with my bot, I found out this mysterious transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/08389f34c98c606322740c0be6a7125d9860bb8d5cb182c02f98461e5fa6cd15

those 32.896 BTC were sent to multiple addresses, all the private keys of those addresses seem to be generated by some kind of formula.

For example:

Address 2:

1ErZWg5cFCe4Vw5BzgfzB74VNLaXEiEkhk
Biginteger PVK value: 10544
Hex PVK value: 2930

and so on...

until the addresses 50 (1MEzite4ReNuWaL5Ds17ePKt2dCxWEofwk) it was already cracked by someone.

Any ideas what's the formula behind the generation of these addresses?

Address 2, pvk decimal value: 3
Address 3, pvk decimal value: 7
Address 4, pvk decimal value: 8
Address 5, pvk decimal value: 21
Address 6, pvk decimal value: 49
Address 7, pvk decimal value: 76
Address 8, pvk decimal value: 224
Address 9, pvk decimal value: 467
Address 10, pvk decimal value: 514
Address 11, pvk decimal value: 1155
Address 12, pvk decimal value: 2683
Address 13, pvk decimal value: 5216
Address 14, pvk decimal value: 10544
Address 15 and after, pvk decimal value: ?

The prize would be ~32 BTC
