Who We Are

btcpuzzle.info is a solo Bitcoin puzzle mining pool that has been running continuously since 2023. What started as a hobby project by Ilker Cindik has grown into one of the most focused and dedicated platforms in the Bitcoin puzzle hunting community.

We are not a corporation, a venture-backed startup, or a commercial entity driven by profit. We are builders and enthusiasts who believe in the spirit of the Bitcoin puzzle — a unique cryptographic challenge embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain that has captivated the minds of developers, cryptographers, and hobbyists around the world.

Our Story

Our journey began with Puzzle 66 — one of the most actively pursued puzzles in the Bitcoin puzzle series. From the very first block scanned, we committed to building something reliable, transparent, and genuinely useful for the community. That commitment has not changed.

Since then, we have continued to grow our infrastructure, expand our toolset, and welcome contributors from all over the world who share our passion for this challenge. The puzzle may be unsolved, but our determination is not.

Open Source & Transparency

We believe in openness. Our pool client software is open source, meaning anyone can inspect, verify, and audit how work is distributed and how results are reported. You do not have to trust our word — you can read the code. This is a core principle we will not compromise on, because in a space built on trustless systems, transparency is everything.

We do not hide our methods, our infrastructure choices, or our limitations. When something breaks, we say so. When we make changes, we document them. Our community deserves nothing less.

What We Offer

btcpuzzle.info is more than a pool. We are building a suite of tools that make the Bitcoin puzzle ecosystem more accessible and more useful for everyone involved.

Solo Pool: Our core offering — a coordinated pool where contributors connect their GPU workers and collectively scan key ranges without duplicating effort. Every participant's contribution is tracked and attributed fairly.

CloudSearch: For those who want to contribute without managing their own hardware, CloudSearch allows you to allocate a budget and have scanning capacity provisioned on your behalf through cloud GPU infrastructure. No setup required.

Private Key Explorer: One of the most unique tools we offer. Our Private Key page allows anyone to browse the entire theoretical space of Bitcoin private keys — all possible keys laid out in a way that is educational, humbling, and a direct reminder of just how vast the cryptographic search space really is. Every key that has ever existed or ever will exist is theoretically visible here. It is the universe of Bitcoin, made tangible.

Puzzle Tracking & Analytics: We provide up-to-date information on puzzle progress, scan coverage, and community activity — giving contributors a clear picture of where we are and what remains ahead.

Our Mission

We exist to push the Bitcoin puzzle forward. Not because of the reward alone, but because the puzzle represents something remarkable — a challenge placed deliberately in the blockchain, waiting to be solved through ingenuity, persistence, and raw computational effort. We intend to be part of that solution.

Along the way, we want to make the tools we build as useful as possible — not just for puzzle hunters, but for anyone curious about Bitcoin's cryptographic foundations. Understanding private keys, address derivation, and the scale of the key space is valuable knowledge, and we want to help more people access it.

The Person Behind It

btcpuzzle.info was founded and is operated by Ilker Cindik. What began as a personal hobby project — a way to explore Bitcoin's cryptographic puzzle in a hands-on, technical way — has evolved into a platform serving a growing global community of puzzle enthusiasts and contributors.

Ilker continues to develop and maintain the platform directly, which means decisions are made quickly, feedback is heard, and the people who use this platform are never just a ticket number in a support queue.

Contact & Community

We are always open to feedback, contributions, and collaboration. If you have ideas for new tools, have found a bug, or simply want to connect with others in the Bitcoin puzzle community, reach out through the contact or support interface on the platform.

The puzzle waits for no one. Let's solve it together.
