Think about it: when has throwing money at a puzzle ever been the smart play? Clever strategies and collaboration usually beat raw power. If the reward doesn't outweigh the costs, why bother? Most folks here know better than to waste resources on a losing bet.
It’s been the smarter play for every iteration here.
This is NOT a puzzle. it’s either a giant GPU coding competition, or a bounty for a bug in secp256k1 / rmd160 / sha256.
And I disagree. A lot of folks here are scanning even if rewards are lower than costs.
They either think they found some voodoo way to restrict the range, or embrace the lottery aspect of it.
