i just play around with math, by using simple decimal multiplications combined with logarithmic insights, you can systematically determine key values within a numerical range.

fun fact the unique thing is that the key is indeed located right in the area that has been measured using mathematics, I am using 2 pieces of evidence for now.

for now i'm just doing this thing work, thanks for read and respect my post about puzzle.

ye i know, no step 5-6, cannot do anything.

this guy nailed it

Hi!
can it tested on MacOS ?

can i try your script code ?

120, 125 and 130.
captured by hacker ? because this address is 1DiegoU6ETJXK9hNWVTeuK4Y8fkksPnEnK seem fishy with 3Emiwzxme7Mrj4d89uqohXNncnRM15YESs
and he's announce this "https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/69888f5e55d414b8de65f3a9307a1f414d7035cf9142239045300ce018984bd4"

the next target to take and spend.

      "spent": false,
      "spender": null
    },

it's 67, anyone who can find even 67, the transactions will be attacked by this person.

ngl, this guy very smart and genius build the transaction and from the number of transactions increasing slowly and rhythmically.

for real, i forgot who's make that wheel of fortune HAHAHAH.

someone please help me, why it took so long ?, i'm stuck on this like 5 minutes.

then "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Are you jealous and daydream to get those wallet ?, but in reality you cannot do it ? so you blame yourself and people who's have right about their opinion ? childish, period.

95823 was from 1764F on 17 bit puzzle, divide 17 bit into 21 bit.

"How many multiples are there from 95823 to 2097151?"

95823/2097151 = 21 = 4563.

it's simple, if you do multipler with large value, it's gonna be exceed, 1.01 - 1.05 it's quietly large.

this!

"Whoever did it simply reduced the range enough to a manageable level for their computing power."

even satoshi_rising as creator puzzle typed this in near the final paragraphs

"There is no pattern.  It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty).  It is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community."

First thing first it's funny someone really spend their time to this like Mr.AKITO.

I want to explain but I'm afraid of appearing smarter than my friends who are great at spending their time creating and ensuring programs like search using the hash of public key 160 and even compressed public keys, will feel offensive to them, this is just my thoughts for 2 years paying more attention to this forum and puzzle.

but okay if you want to.


old_key = 4563 -- was from "95823/21" 21 is divided by count the 95823 into 2097151, have 2 option 22 or 21, 21 is precisely with target.
old_range = (65536, 131071)
new_range = (1048576, 2097151)

i mark that with red color, just because as you can see, it's nearly with real decimal value to search, i test it with 10-20 puzzle, there is always a very close result, but need to search and wait for time.

for someone if ask how you can determine the first search is 1811764
in real condition with my codes is marked into hex, and groupped for search ranges, so it's from small value to larger value, and sequence ranges but random search on ranges.

searching puzzle #21 key 1BA534 > 1811764.

Calculate the far distance when the decimal is multiplied by 1.05

1811511 * 1.05 = 1902086.55 (depends on your settings).

1902086.55 results are rounded to 1902087

so the search is 1811511 to 1902087

just simple logic, if someone doesn’t like, step the f out to learn.

test out.

no its below than that.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand that you have a different perspective, and I respect that. However, I have my own view on this, and it's based on certain facts and research that I believe are valid. I'm happy to have a conversation where we can both share our ideas, but it's important for both of us to stay open-minded and respectful.

 

[Edit]

pseudo-mathematical attacks on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) can occur, but they typically refer to attempts to undermine the security of elliptic curves using flawed, incomplete, or incorrect mathematical reasoning. These attacks are not based on sound cryptographic research but rather on misinterpretations or speculative ideas without sufficient mathematical backing.

If someone claims that "pseudo-mathematical attacks on ECC" are nonsense but simultaneously relies on brute force or waits for some miraculous mathematical breakthrough that has no solid proof yet, they might just be stuck in a charming little daydream of wishful thinking.  
After all, nothing says "I understand cryptography" quite like banking on an imaginary genius to solve a problem that stumps the world's best mathematicians any day now, right?  

closed for debate, thanks.  

nah, i dont aggree with this, imo bitcoin is work with computational power, but else of formula is make from human things.
still can be breach out with math, look out theres other challenge to unlock bitcoin with math.

someone just took out the 130 bit.

ngl, the way you can break the puzzle is from recent history of priv key has been found, if someone found it, and not tell the key, the puzzle is broken, you just need to think this is PUZZLE, and every piece is work together to assemble the next lossless piece.
