Feel free to DM. Ofc the bounty is now for puzzle 71, not for puzzle 69, for obvious reasons
I don’t expect anything from this because there are no rules here. Maybe others have already considered these aspects too. And if it happens that you solve the puzzle a little faster than before—remember me.

Statistically speaking, there must be another puzzle within 0.7% of the starting range—specifically, between 71 and 160. But which one?  85. Did you check the wallet? 1Kh22PvXERd2xpTQk3ur6pPEqFeckCJfAr

I think I’ve approached all of this the wrong way.
I’m offering a 0.1 BTC bounty for the formal proof of any traversal method that provides a statistical edge over a linear scan for puzzle 69. By statistical edge I mean that this new traversal method running on a statistically significant number of executions requires significantly fewer checks (let’s put the threshold at 5%) to find the key.
Conditions : - Has to be written using math semantics. Not “where does John lives” metaphors. - Has to be empirically validated using a python / nodeJS script. - First one posting it to this thread will be recipient of the bounty.
I can show you my method—it has nothing to do with random or sequential search or patterns. It's pure statistics. But it would be stupid to make it public for obvious reasons. This has to be a private message.  Feel free to DM. Ofc the bounty is now for puzzle 71, not for puzzle 69, for obvious reasons I want to send you my proof, but since my account is only 7 months old, I get a message saying "Bram has blocked messages from new users." Now you can

Just something obvious that I hadn’t considered before.

Hey guys, there is a new Cyclone on the block Still working hard, hu?  Some new interesting features? Now, I even have a faster version on GitHub, where I'm experimenting with compiler flags.  Yes, around 30-40% faster

whatever you all do, dont keep giving bram more of your code. he already has 3000 computers and the rest of us might only be using two. so giving away all of your code secrets to him will only make sure that the rest of us end up broke with no money when he uses that knowledge to solve every remaining puzzle. dont say i never warned you when it happens. lol i do believe in some knowledge sharing though. but he has too big of an advantage already over the rest of us. just my opinion or thoughts.

I don't see a point. If you are saying he has "3000 computers" and the rest of us is just two, then it won't make any difference anyway.

I think I already said I’m not working on any puzzle now that they are no longer profitable.

oh did you stop solving for now? you are probably right though about what you said about most people here. they are just using AI code and hoping for a miracle to happen someday. LOL!

BREAKING NEWS: Local Code Hoarder Bram Now Controls 3001 Computers—Scientists Fear He’s One Laptop Away from Singularity But let’s be real. if we stop feeding him our code, he’ll just write it himself while sleep-compiling in binary. The man’s basically a Roomba for puzzles—sucks ‘em up, solves ‘em, and leaves the rest of us vacuuming up breadcrumbs. Meanwhile, half the people here are just sit here, refreshing GitHub like it’s a lottery ticket.

What if someone proves that no such method exists including the prefix one, is the bounty valid for such proof ?

I imagine you are aware that big data already uses AI for their code, as is the case with GitHub itself. Your reasoning is ridiculous. Whether it is code that comes out of AI or human, it is still code. It is the way it is worked that matters.

I doubt it, since you'd simply prove that something is, by its own definition, as true. A really hard thing to prove indeed, requiring vast amounts of funding and research, in order to get to a definitive conclusion (e.g. reaching the definitions we started with). But while we're at it, let's also prove these stringent problems which also have no definitive answer so far: - is the sky really blue? it may look more like white; and why does it go black during the night? - does free will actually exist, or are we living in a simulation of a type 7 civilization, living in a simulation of a type 42 civilization? - can we live forever? seems like we die at some point, makes no sense; - does light actually go through glass? has anyone proved it yet without a doubt? - is there a way to prove that all of the above are unprovable? I'm offering a 9000 trillion multiverse BTC bounty if someone proves that the last one is unprovable to be proven. Or something like that. Please no AI. I imagine you are aware that big data already uses AI for their code, as is the case with GitHub itself. Your reasoning is ridiculous. Whether it is code that comes out of AI or human, it is still code. It is the way it is worked that matters.
Except that the code generated by AI is a total non-sense that doesn't really actually work. But script kiddies think it's enterprise-level code, when in reality its complete bullshit. This is how some people inhere think that they know how to count the number of matching bits between two hashes, and the result is a total disaster. If you want the plane you're boarding to crash 5 minutes after departure, throw some AI-generated firmware on its control circuits.
