20220515_120605
Find the key, get 200 BTC

The known part of the key is 40 characters from 52
The address 1PfNh5fRcE9JKDmicD2Rh3pexGwce1LqyU

Challenge is a collective search for a key

A large range of 12 characters is divided into 3364 small ranges.
The program is configured correctly, it takes into account many technical aspects of searching for the initial part of the key.
There is a table of hunters on which ranges are indicated in the process and passed.
This way you won't serch empty ranges. This speeds up the overall search process.
The advantage of the challenge is that if the key is found, each hunter will receive compensation for the ranges he has passed.
200 btc is a worthy reward for a find key.
Good luck!

How to participate in the challenge:

If you have a GPUs:
RTX 2070, 2080, 2090, 3060, 3070, 3080, 3090, A5000, A6000 and are ready to search for a key 24/7

If you do not have a 30xx card, you can rent it and participate in a collective search.
For some users, renting is cheaper than searching on their own PC. There is also less noise in the house.
When renting, you must take into account the risk that the key may not be found at all.
You may incur losses. Think of it not as earnings, but as a lottery.

In the TABLE, select a FREE range between 0-3363

Run wif500-30xx.exe -range 1234 (free range 0 - 3363)

RTX A6000 4 Gkey/s = 3 days (one range)
RTX 3090 4 Gkey/s = 4 days (one range)
RTX 3070 2.2 Gkey/s = 6 days (one range)
RTX 2070 1,4 Gkey/s = 9 days (one range)
There is a continuation of the search from the last checkpoint

Add a telegram group
Write: the numbers of the range in which you took for the search.
I will accept your participation and add you to the table
Do not take busy (in progress) ranges, see the TABLE.
Don't join if

  • Your gpu is below RTX 2070
  • You are just interested, but you are not going to participate either.
  • Ask questions not related to the challenge.

When you have a range progress 100% take a screenshot (photo) and and continuation file, post it in the group.
I will (check) and mark the range as passed, assign it to you.

If the key is found, it will be displayed in the window and will also be written to the text file FOUND.txt
Write privately in telegram phrutis that you found the key.

Compensations:

Compensation table

  1. When the key is found, the hunter that did find it will receive a full 200 BTC reward.
  2. All other hunters in the table will receive good compensation.

    The example will go through 1000 ranges and the key will be found.
    33.64 btc divided by 1000.
    For each range passed, the hunter will receive 0.0364 BTC

Frequently asked Questions

Question answer:

Where to download the program, how to run it?
Here


WIF500 real?
To find out, you need to go through a very large range and find out.
This requires large GPU resources.


Why is the program without source codes?
The correct ranges and other parameters are sewn into the WifSolverCuda program.
Knowing them, the user can find the key on his own and take everything for himself.


Does the program require an internet connection?
No, the program is looking for the key offline.


If I find the key can I take all the coins for myself?
No, you will find the encrypted key.
Only the organizers of the challenge can decrypt this key and pay you a donation.


I have a RTX 3060 TI card, and I have a low speed, how can speed up?
In the new drivers for 30xx ti, 20xx ti, a limiter is installed that slows down the speed by half.
You need to download the old driver from six months ago. 496.13
Delete the new driver, install the old driver, the speed will increase x2
After searching, you can install new drivers.


I have many GPUs. How to start?
Run each GPU separately with a new range Add your card id -d ?
For RTX 2070, 2080, 2090, 3060, 3070, 3080, 3090, A5000, A6000
wif500-30xx.exe -range 444 -d 0
wif500-30xx.exe -range 445 -d 1
wif500-30xx.exe -range 446 -d 2
wif500-30xx.exe -range 2057 -d 3
wif500-20xx.exe -range 888 -d 4
If you have any difficulties with the launch, you can ask in the group


Where did the diary photo come from?
The man worked at the exchange office.
Through it, the miner withdrew coins.
Somehow, the miner turned to the exchange office with a request to help him restore the key in the photo from the burnt diary.
In 2017, there were no WIF GPU recovery programs.
There were weak gpu cards at that time.
It was possible to search only on the processor, but this takes thousands of years.
The photo went from hand to hand.
Years have passed.
I was approached by a person (intermediary) who offered to find the key for 50% of the amount.
After counting the combinations, it turned out that I needed to rent 3364 RTX 3090 cards for 4 days.
It is physically impossible to rent such a number of cards.
The intermediary was asked to make a challenge and if the key is found, he will receive 10%. He agreed.
A program was developed and the challenge was launched.


Who is the owner of the diary?
This is a common question.
For understanding. Bitcoin is an anonymous system.
The owner is the one who has the key.


Is this theft?
No.
The author of the diary took the photo himself.
Thus, he made a public key out of a private key and gave it to third parties.


What happens if the key is not found?
Nothing.
Write on the photo SOLVED.
Let's start another challenge and we'll look for it.


How to know that the key is found by someone?
Verify transactions on the blockchain.


Are you looking for a compressed key, maybe it's uncompressed?
The key is 99.9% compressed.
Experienced programmers worked on the key.
Few facts.
In the photo below is an uncompressed key.
All addresses after 03/30/2012 are compressed.
When decoded, the known part of the key yields a compressed flag.
All addresses in the blockchain transaction chain are compressed.
There are many other facts indicating that the key is compressed.


Maybe you made a mistake in the handwriting and we are looking for it wrong, there is not b but 5, the third G, etc.
Worked on the key:
1 Forensic expert (according to suicide notes) for a fee.
1 Restorer of ancient manuscripts.
3 doctors (Latin medical handwriting)
1 Apothecary (pharmacist) prescriptions from the doctor sometimes look much worse :-)
10 literate people for whom American is their native language.
Our team processed the photos, making their own expertise and experiments.
On the basis of paw examinations, candidates were added before ?5....
These are the blue ranges in the table.


Bro help
I have a weak card, help me, tell me the key.
I don't know how to run. Look right,
I'm running. I don't have gpu.
hahaha I went through everything, it's empty.
It's fake. I don't understand anything, but you still help me.
I have a telegram full of similar messages.
Questions not related to the challenge do not write to me.


phrutis why are you deleting hunters and being so demanding on screenshots?
I believe that the group does not need observers (not active hunters)
Why are they there to us?
If a person is added, then he has read the rules.
He should tell me the range number he has chosen and is looking for.
I need screenshots to know for sure that a certain range is 100% passed.


Why did you free my range? I'm still looking.
Each range has a start date.
If 10-12 days have passed, I check with a specific hunter about the process.
If silence, the range is released.
If this is the hunter's only range, it is removed.
He can return to the group later and confirm 100% completion.


I'm a miner, I have a pool of 300 gpu, my brother has 170, I have access to people with 1000 gpu.
Don't treat the challenge as a paycheck. This is a lottery.
So that you don't take too many risks.
You can participate with only a small part of your gpu cards
For example 50, 100 cards, leave the rest in mining.


How can I rent gpu cards? I do not know how to do that.
Ask for help in the group, they will help you, prompt.
Unfortunately there are no instructions yet.


I will search at the end when there are few ranges left. So my chances will be higher :-)
This is not logical, the key can be found earlier, or in the middle of the path.
Your odds calculations will be broken.


What are the best ranges to look for? Where are the chances?
In blue, (while they are still there) because they are candidates.
And so everywhere the chance is the same.


Why are some passed ranges without green check marks?
The hunter passed more than 90%, but for some reason did not have time (could not) take a screenshot of 100%.
There were cases when they launched from bat files, after 100% the console window closed automatically.
This range is assigned to him for compensation.
When there are very few ranges left, it will become free again.
If another hunter passes it, then he will become its owner.
Now the program has a continuation of the search from the last checkpoint.


I'm worried that someone is faking a sequel from the end.
Do not worry, there is a very powerful protection.
Fake hex is impossible


Why didn't you post the original diary photo? Why did you change the letters of the key?

Do you want me to post part of the real key?
Why then the challenge?
Can it be closed?

If I post the correct part of the key. The key can be quickly found by the miner, he will take all the coins for himself.
Hunters who participate in the challenge will not receive a prize and compensation, they will suffer losses.
The mediator and the organizers of the challenge will be left without coins.
You understand that this is not logical.


Why did you remove me from the group?
If the hunter was added to the group and did not report the range number within 24 hours.
He will be removed, only hunters are needed in the group.
You can join the group again when you're ready to search.


I often turn off the light, how to continue?
Run 1234_1Continue.bat continuation files.
The continuation will start from the last checkpoint.
IMPORTANT!!!
Windows may have enabled disk write caching before writing to a file.
In this case, after a power outage, the files may be EMPTY.
You need to disable this feature.
