      There is no bounty, RSA labs ended the $75,000 reward in 2007.

         There's about 900 BTC remaining for anyone who breaks these keys:

         If you break one though be careful when redeeming it, there are bots set up to pounce and steal the coins when they are transacted because the reduced entropy makes that possible. You need to submit the transaction to a mining pool that will not broadcast it until it is mined.

            Just to confirm: these puzzles are unrelated to RSA, correct?

               rsa is prime factorization, bitcoin is elliptic curve ps: elliptic curve or breaking sha256 &quot;bitmixing&quot;
