New Bitcoin Challenge: Solve for a Share of ~1000 BTC

This thread is kicking off the next round of the famous "32BTC puzzle". Got some new updates and data to share, so let’s dive in.

Here’s a little breakdown of some GPUs and their performance on VanitySearch: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: ~2564 Mkeys/s GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER: ~2001 Mkeys/s And a bunch more. Pretty wild how varied it is!

Reserved for future updates.

Yeah, let's keep those old discussion links alive. Some real gems in there.

Anyone have intel on the scanned ranges? Not all of us have top-tier rigs, but we wanna be in the mix. I’m using a simple Python script myself.

Posting scanned ranges is tricky. Can't confirm if that info is reliable or not. There’s a group working together on finding keys, making sure to exclude ranges that have been checked already.

I feel like posting ranges isn’t the best move. Maybe a separate thread for that? Plus, it’s way more useful to share ECDSA research or new scripts that speed things up.

Hey new folks! Just a heads up, sharing scanned ranges could lead to some trolling. But honestly, the sheer size of the search space makes it kinda pointless anyway.

This puzzle’s origin is interesting too. No rewards for figuring it out, just knowledge. I’m thinking of setting up a Raspberry Pi with a random Python script to find collisions. Might be harder than expected, but hey, worth a shot!

I’ve got a search algorithm that’s way faster than the one linked in that other post. In the right hands, it could solve 110 tasks in a month on a decent cloud server. Costs will eat into profits, but still better than just mining. This one’s FPGA compatible too.

Which is your algo? I’d love to know.

My algo uses a completely different math approach, so it's faster. Just trust me on this.

What Python libraries are you using? And I’m definitely interested in that video!

Yeah, drop the evidence! Show us what you’ve got!

Here’s a link to my video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1abZRyPMhC0A5W7esdp-odh_-ToB6hHaw.

Can you shoot me that Python file in DM? Wanna give it a whirl.

For sure, sharing is the way to go!

I’m tweaking the code for multi-threading now. Planning to throw 110 bits at a cloud server soon. Not sure if you'll wanna show your code though.

Definitely keep us posted on that. Curious to see your improvements!

So, your video’s from 2019. What’s new since then? Any cool updates?
