No idea what "desired result" should mean to you, but his code only counts the total iterations, not the number of operations. At each iteration, there is a cycle handling loop and additional code to create new starting points and do additional jumps from base points to the new created points. These are not counted at all in his statistics of his "K" so his SOTA complexity breakthrough is incorrect so basically what I'm saying is that he suffers of so much boredom he can't see his own code bugs, instead he thinks he "invented" some new methods to break ECDLP, who cares that they are actually slower than what we already know?!

Someone who would attack ECDLP in a decent matter would use the correct notation of things, at least.

Now, I never said RetiredCoder is the creator, I just said the keys were probably solved in another way, or were already known to him, or they were solved in a much longer timespan than what he brags about, or with a lot higher costs and resources. Because some things definitely do not add up, logically.

In my view
If Retire Coder is real solver or creator or any other Q
What's in front of us, all remaining address and remaining pubkeys with their balances still exist,
We should focus our abilities and resources for win the remaining rewards
Everyone have rights to write their reviews, research, working method etc
Despite it's real or fake, just pick your interest as per your available resources, and apply in your own way
Kangaroo app by jlp zeiler, Alberto wandering, is no last hope, thankx to telariust, who first write Pollard kangaroo methode for ecdlp solver, later other developers just optimizing method apply, all others no new invented, only apply optimisation and tips n trick ,
Remember kangaroo is not last option, work in your available resources and don't loose hope , still big winning waiting for you

When somebody increased the prize to 1000 BTC? What I missed?
Also, when the puzzle 66 was solved, didn't somebody (not the solver) grab the money (a bot?) ?

Maybe, who knows LOL 

Hello everyone, has the person who found the puzzle 130 appeared?

Why are your feelings getting hurt? Are you the puzzle solver? Because to me, it sure looks like you’re RetiredCoder. A guy who solves his own mini-puzzle for attention—what more can we expect from him? A guy who supposedly holds a world record but shares code with the public that’s slower than what is already available—what can we expect from him? A millionaire who begs for 100 merit points despite having millions of dollars—what can we expect from him?

If he doesn’t want to share the code, he should just be a man and say, 'I don’t want to share it,' instead of teasing us with 'I’ll share the GPU version in Part 3.' What are we supposed to do with his Part 1, 2, and 3 if he never actually shares his method?

People like JLP have earned respect because they openly shared code that was effective at the time and helped many developers. Meanwhile, RetiredCoder himself said he started with JLP’s code. But where’s the credit to JLP? Instead, we get empty promises and slower code. What can we expect from someone like that?

I understand, but the truth is that Kang-1 is complex for me to grasp; I'm not sure how efficient it is. However, it is strange that someone with money would waste time solving the obvious. I say obvious because we all know that with a lot of money, you gain the necessary power to solve it. There’s nothing surprising about that. So if Elon Musk wakes up tomorrow with the whim to solve 135 and 140, he will. The real magic lies in finding a cheap algorithm capable of solving it.

Therefore, I can understand the people who criticize him because he didn’t do anything new. He took it because he could. So far, he has only demonstrated that he has money.

At this ATH moment of bitcoin 1 btc will be enough for a lifetime (With a well management investment and with Moderate product consumption a.k.a not living big and burn money) for anyone.


The evidence suggest that it was snatched by someone else. but since the original solver is still unknown then we may only speculate with it.

btc will be 200k USD nex year, btc never grow for less then 100%/year.
