I read the repository I am not an expert but I want to try this because mining already died for me. I tried to mine bitcoin and the pools always disconnected me I think they ignored me because I am not an ASIC team now I want to try this but there is no one to help me you seem know a lot about running this. Could you please teach me 🙏 I'm a bitcoin enthusiast but I can't against. the mining asic and I want to waste my time. github it seems that it was removed

What was removed from github? This is not something for people to try and earn money, we are looking for ways to hack bitcoin addresses, there are so far 2 methods, one is brute force which is generating bitcoin addresses one by one to see if we can generate one of the puzzle addresses or not. The other way is more advanced and requires decent hardware, with normal home computers you can't try the second method.
My advice, if you are after earning money, this is not for you, others have already collected the easy coins, but if you think you can find some ways to hack bitcoin addresses then you should visit project development and technical discussion boards to read some useful posts.

You are not wrong, but he doesn't know anything about the subject, so explaining the technics won't help.

From #1 to #65 by brute forcing and from #65 to #120 by public key collision were the easiest tasks, from now on things are massive, requiring advanced tech. Still possible though if you spend some money.

I can't see any computer there... I can only see a one big mess in a ruined interior. I hope its not your home.

I understand you want to try cracking bitcoin puzzles and of course it your choice. You can try for example program called bitCrack.

But i can see you totally don't understand whats going here - all puzzles till 65 bit are solved. So now you could try bruteforcing puzzle 66. Before you start you must realize what a puzzle 66 means.

I can write a long story but i will write you this short: you will never solve it and you will be just wasting time and electricity. Its too hard to crack it if you dont have a huge processing power. As huge processing power i don't mean a powerful PC. I mean like 200 GPU farm.

First of all you should learn how many combinations exist in a 66 key space. Then you could see how many attempts per second your computer is making...and you will see how incredibly low your chances are to solve it.

Mining any shitcoin will make you almost zero profit...but trying craking remaining bitcoin puzzles on home computer is pure stupidity.

I can assure you there is a bigger chance that some random shitcoin will pump than you will solve any bitcoin puzzle on a laptop... That simply not gonna happen.

BTW Mining bitcoin or any other asic coin is pointless on home computer.

I don't want to beat you down but you will not recover financially on crypto if all your hardware base is an old laptop.

Trying to solve puzzles is pointless for you.

Maybe try to mine something that is designed for cpu mining and if you will be very lucky it will skyrocket some day.

But rather avoid projects that are just bitcoin/litecoin clones with changed few parameters...

And clean that garbage in your place. It looks like a damn landfill.

He don't have to release the private key publicly. Maybe he even doesn't know about this thread.

I'm more curious why he didn't took forked coins. There is still BSV, BCH and BTG there (and maybe few others).

Maybe you are right. I thought it was just one of many puzzle forum threads. I didn't knew it's the original thread.

Good for us crackers for the puzzle  situation to be more discrete and dormant ..business 101:  lower competitio equals higher chance of success.

Say if only one cracker is attempting to find puzzle 66, the outcome is he will obviously be the one to solve it.

I'm not sure if it was the puzzle creator who withdrew the money, and i don't vote fot it. Leaving the puzzle to be normally solved by other crackers should be his goal from the beginning. After all, he wanted to test the security of BTC. Having such small bit ranges unsolved for as long as it takes shows him exactly how powerful the Bitcoin hash and curve are. Solving 120 early would defeat the purpose.

i have a theory that he doesn't even know it has money in other forks.

Lol .. withdrawing money from an address == transferring money to another.

And you should really read the reply before mine ☝️ no one actually posted the private key upon solving a puzzle.. people use another software to derive it after pub key is exposed. Reason why is It's a matter of privacy.. after all, it's what the Bitcoin concept is about isn't it?! You don't want people to know who you are, even if it was just a username on a forum.
