How to Find the Private Key of Bitcoin Puzzle 71
First you need to install Userland from Google App Store
Then open Ubuntu. Now we need to install Keyhunt to find the key in hex.
Proceed this way:
apt update
apt upgrade -y
apt install git -y
apt install build-essential -y
apt install libssl-dev -y
apt install libgmp-dev -y
git clone https://github.com/albertobsd/keyhunt.git
cd keyhunt
cd keyhunt
make legacy
echo "1PWo3JeB9jrGwfHDNpdGK54CRas7fsVzXU" > puzzle71.txt
./keyhunt -m address -f puzzle71.txt -r 400000000000000000:7fffffffffffffffff -t 8 -s 4 -q
Note:
t is the number of threads. You could set it be 4 if you like.
To stop the process, tap CRT C (Control C).
The Found hex keys are in the file KEYFOUNDKEYFOUND.txt. You can display the contain of this file by typing cat KEYFOUNDKEYFOUND.txt.
If you are lucky and found the key, you need to convert it into a WIF before you can use it. It is advised to use an offline app to do so. Good luck.
