Code:

I am the creator.

You are quite right, 161-256 are silly.  I honestly just did not think of this.  What is especially embarrassing, is this did not occur to me once, in two years.  By way of excuse, I was not really thinking much about the puzzle at all.

I will make up for two years of stupidity.  I will spend from 161-256 to the unsolved parts, as you suggest.  In addition, I intend to add further funds.  My aim is to boost the density by a factor of 10, from 0.001*length(key) to 0.01*length(key).  Probably in the next few weeks.  At any rate, when I next have an extended period of quiet and calm, to construct the new transaction carefully.

A few words about the puzzle.  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.

Finally, I wish to express appreciation of the efforts of all developers of new cracking tools and technology.  The "large bitcoin collider" is especially innovative and interesting!

Again the quote "It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty)" it is to me a bit misleading.

If it is a Deterministic Wallet the creator must have done a huge code implementation just to create the transactions of this Puzzle.
A deterministic wallet use 12 or more standard words and start from a seed like: "xprv......." that is the HD node root key (base58), than he needs a Seed hex that is
generated by the 12 words given.

I suppose he did everything OK but if you look closely to the Private Keys of the empted addresses you see something repeating:

so in other words the Creator must have created the Private Keys that were easy for him to manage (256 PK to remeber)
plus he did decide that the Private Keys had to be created following the rule of the MSB shifting bit, that is always
"1" from the PK of the previous address as you can see here better:

Code:

                                                                                                                            
You can see the MSB bit shifting left for every address also this rule tell us the Space Address Range  into which search for the
PK. Deterministic Wallets do not do that.

I other words I do believe that the PKs are generated following a specific rule while was creted the transaction of
"sending" to the 256 address.

We all know that the PK must follow the following:

Partial_PrivateKey >= 2^{^(n-1)}
Partial_PrivateKey <= 2^{^n}

but also we know that:

PrivateKey = Partial_PrivateKey (+/-) value

and check again:
PrivateKey >= 2^{^(n-1)}
PrivateKey <= 2^{^n}

where
n = the address index
and
value = f(x) . This function could be a generator of a number to add to the lower address space range or to sunctract from the high address space range.
This generator could use
x = the amount of bitcoin sent the idexed address or
x = the sum of all the bitcoin sent to the previous indexed address or
x = the count of all "1" binary cotainained to represent the amout of citcoin sent
x = .... use as much intuition you want.....I did not found any x yet although
x = could be the binary representation of a portion of an image

BTW: Good luck BTC
