What do you mean by that?

Share the last 4 bytes of your prefix address’s private key (PVK) and I’ll return every possible prefix within the 71-bit range in about 3 minutes on a single RTX 3060 Ti.
(You can get similar results with BitCrack, but BitCrack only returns the PVK for the target address — it won’t list PVKs that belong to matching prefix addresses.)

Example:
Prefix Address: 1PWo3JeB9jRLz2NjTHsZ8uTBnqcjnu66Ak
Last 4 bytes of PVK: B3E74856

What's the point of this search?
There are no patterns in elliptic curve operations!

If no pattern. Then why private key with same last 6 hex many match the front prefix like that zahid prefix jumper 😅. There might be pattern but complex pattern ✌️

I mean if you found 500-1000 prefix . It might give high chance using this jumper test that 500-1000 prefix that you found before to get the answer .......

What you believe (incorrectly):

"Cryptographic operations preserve patterns!"
"There's hidden mathematical structure in secp256k1!"
"It's a fascinating cryptographic correlation!"

What it REALLY is:

Vanity mining with reduced search space
Pure brute force in feasible range (2^71)
Basic statistics: enough attempts → expected matches

If broadcasting a transaction from a solved Bitcoin puzzle gets hijacked instantly by bots, does that mean all transactions spending from solved puzzles were mined directly ? And if the publick keys to certain puzzle addresses are already exposed publicly, why haven’t the bots swept those funds yet, if they claim they can steal coins within seconds?

And if the publick keys to certain puzzle addresses are already exposed publicly, why haven’t the bots swept those funds yet, if they claim they can steal coins within seconds?

You have some conceptual errors about the problem:

With the public keys exposed, you can't move funds ---> You need to calculate the private key, currently puzzle 135 and multiples of 5 and up. ---> Use the polling kangaroo algorithm, etc.

Bots can attack the PVKs of smaller puzzles, currently 71 and up, since it computationally leaves a window.

In my humble opinion, small players currently have no chance.

A large player who finds puzzle 71 will look for a very secure way to propagate, obviously avoiding the mempool.

[chrisnick19]

You generally cannot directly broadcast a BTC transaction to miners without it entering the mempool, as the mempool is the standard, unavoidable gateway for transactions to be picked up and confirmed by the network. Bitcoin's design relies on the peer-to-peer network to relay transactions to nodes, which store them in their respective mempools before miners select them for inclusion in blocks. The only widely established method to bypass the mempool for most transactions is to use the Lightning Network, a second-layer protocol for fast, off-chain payments that only requires the main blockchain for opening and closing payment channels.

You're wrong.

This is exactly what anyone who finds a puzzle's private key should do. Avoid the public mempool and send the tx to a private node.
Otherwise, they risk a front-running attack.

[fecell]

That’s the true nature of brute force. 

u'r right. kango, bsgs, lcg, and all other just a force of brute, but with different chance.

Now i am searching with 10 rigs and each of them with Total 109099.04 MK/s. So 10xTotal 109099.04 MK/s and i just started in this morning. I found a lot of keys with B9 and only one B9j. I hope soon to discover the key.

Do you own the 10 rigs or you rent them ?

Would it not be faster if you target Hash 160 of the Address instead of the BTC Address. i.e. cut down on calculating Address from PK which is not needed.

[TNavarro007]

Very interesting indeed. I wonder whether Garcia’s algorithm can quickly uncover it. The paper describes its application to Satoshi’s Block 170. Go to Substack → Posts and search for “CBGarcia.”

I'm sorry but the author of that "paper" must have been on crack. My IQ dropped to -170 after reading through all of that BS. He should maybe stick to management science instead of trying to break crypto.

[SilentSyntax]

I want to clear up something important for everyone in this Puzzle journey.

The truth is: prefixes (whether in Base58 addresses or HASH160) have no relation to the actual private key. Through many experiments step by step till now, I can confirm that once we pass through the irreversible transformation of elliptic curve multiplication, any hope of tracing back from a prefix to the real private key is gone. 

Thinking that a certain prefix gives us a “hint” about the actual key is just wishful thinking.

The only practical use of prefixes is to measure and track our scanning progress. For example:

Base58 (addresses):

Each character = 1 in 58 chance. 
Probability of matching n chars = 1 / 58ⁿ. 

In 2³² ≈ 4.29B scans you expect: 

1 char ≈ 74M matches 
2 chars ≈ 1M matches 
3 chars ≈ 22K matches 
4 chars ≈ 376 matches 
5 chars ≈ 7 matches 
6 chars ≈ 1 matches 

HASH160 (hex):

Each hex digit = 1 in 16 chance. 
Probability of matching n digits = 1 / 16ⁿ. 

In 2³² ≈ 4.29B scans you expect: 

1 char ≈ 268M matches 
2 chars ≈ 17M matches 
3 chars ≈ 1M matches 
4 chars ≈ 67k matches 
5 chars ≈ 4k matches 
6 chars ≈ 268 matches 
7 chars ≈ 16 matches 
8 chars ≈ 1 matches 

(On my one RTX 3060 Ti, this 2³² scan finishes in ~2 seconds, and I typically get 1 or 2 addresses with an 8-chars initial HASH160 hex match - sometimes none at all.) 

This shows clearly: prefix matching is only a statistical milestone, or a POW, not a clue toward the target private key.

Regarding fixed bits - my own “fixed bits” formula based on prefix matching is still random - it doesn’t inject any new logic or shortcut.

So in the end, prefix-based searching is just for fun, to keep ourselves engaged while facing the massive challenge of scanning through a 2^71 keyspace.

This puzzle is all about grinding through the natural variance of randomness until we get lucky. That’s the true nature of brute force. 

Hey, could you please share your "prefix" app? Or any open source ones which as you said were better? I don't seem to find any.

[chrisnick19]

Why everybody want everything for free? From what i see there are smart guys and beggers...If someone is giving a good ideea, internet and chatGPT can help you build that ideea.
Everyone want to win with work from other people without doing anything...this is not ok...

[dextronomous]

i think no need for greed on you telling all wanted for free by a newb,
 i think we know the best free software shared enough times by many over here, @btct like nomachine and amongst others a lot of the guys/girls here,

really miss this man,

guess many asked none received their answer if you want to know, begging?
only that he took out his git pages cause he not nomachine offcourse , asked for money if you needed to decrypt the private key wich you might get with his closed source software,

so guess the seller is known not to sell, but did before give away free software,
so relax brother,

[brainless]

Asking a updates, upgrade, app, scripts, open source, compiled ver, changes, feedback, testing, etc is this begging
??

Oh one line missing
Who buy me a coffee
Is this begging too
