How Galaxy 71 works

Getting started

What it is

Bitcoin Puzzle #71 is a legendary open cryptographic challenge. A public blockchain address holds 7.10 BTC, unlocked by a single lost key. For years people have hunted it alone and blind.

We gathered the entire search space into a galaxy of a million stars and turned the dull key search into a living map. You pick a spot, rent real GPU power, and it checks every key inside. If that key is there, it comes straight to you, encrypted and anonymous, and the 7.10 BTC are entirely yours.

The map has two modes. View: fly freely, open sectors and look at other seekers’ stars. Click: pick a spot and light up a star of your own.

The counter on the home page is live: with every computed spot the galaxy gains one more star right before your eyes.

Your star

A star is not a picture from a ready-made set. Its look is born from the code of its spot: colour, glow, orbits, belts, all computed by formula. Every spot has its own code, so no two stars are ever alike and never will be.

Every star has a passport: name, owner, birth date, rarity and coordinates. It is open to everyone, and even ten years from now anyone will see that you computed this piece of the galaxy. It cannot be erased.

Give your star a name. It stays with the star forever. Later you can mint it as an NFT and gift it to a friend, send it as a link in Telegram or share it anywhere, the star travels with its passport.

Thousands of stars are already shining in the shared gallery.

Rarity & craft

Every star is born with one of seven rarities, from common to legendary:

A weak star is not a letdown, it is material. In the craft station several stars of the same tier fuse into one a tier higher, step by step up to the very top: a Grand star. There are only a handful in the whole galaxy, and you get into that club by your own hand alone.

The craft station opens from the button at the top, where you also see your progress toward each tier.

Market

Every star is unique, and a special one can never be repeated by clicking. Fancy someone else’s star in the gallery? Buy it from another seeker. Want to free up room or earn a bit? List your own for sale. Money from a sale lands on your balance at once, so you can light up new ones right away.

Star as NFT

Any of your stars can be minted as an NFT on the TON blockchain. The living video of the star together with its passport moves into your wallet and lives on there by itself, independent of us.

From then on it is a real digital asset. Gift it to someone dear, hand it to a friend, send it over Telegram or keep it in your collection. A star you lit with your own computation becomes something you can give, like a present from space.

FAQ

Is this gambling?

No. Every click pays for real computational work: the chosen spot gets fully checked. And the star and your place in history stay yours no matter the outcome. This is a compute service, not a casino or a lottery.

What if the key is found outside my spot?

Your collection, your craft and your name in the star passports stay forever. The search goes on until the key is found, and every new click is a new chance.

Can I lose a star?

No. A star is tied to your account. And once minted as an NFT it lives in your TON wallet on its own, no one can take it from you.
