Dear @Baskentliia,

It may be because English is probably not your first language, but saying to Jean Luc "We expect from you" is pretty rude.
The "prize" for solving puzzle #130 is very high, so don't expect to be able to do it with someone else's tools/software.
If you want to solve one of the remaining puzzles, you have to team up with a lot of people (and share the prize money) or be smarter than everyone else, i.e. come up with a new method or code to do it much faster than is possible with the actual hardware and software.
In fact, showing how secure the bitcoin crypto is was the whole idea behind these puzzles.

And a 256 bit range is ridiculous at the moment, please do the maths and calculate how many resources you'll need to solve a 256 bit number! That's why the puzzles stop at 160 bit...

Sincerely and good luck puzzling!
