So, do you still think this is a quiz or a brain teaser and not a brute-force contest?

So, do you still think this is a quiz or a brain teaser and not a brute-force contest? 

I thought the same thing for the first two years of researching this. After passing the quiz level, messing with numerology, pulling square roots outta every number possible, solving logarithmic equations, dealing with even and odd numbers, magic circles, and some voodoo chicken-leg nonsense. After five years, you finally realize: the only thing that actually helps is fishing.

It's the change output of a consolidation to prepare an UTXO that a few blocks later toppled up the remaining puzzles. What do you think to achieve in trying to interpret more into it like some magic numerology?

Detail	Relevance
No OP_RETURN, no child tx, no dust “pings”.	Address looks like a deliberate parking spot.

Yes, this is still unspent, but you're wrong that it doesn't have dust "pings". What shitty blockexplorer do you use?
See https://mempool.space/address/bc1qnfmregvreguzxsvped4vxxvdrxcqfcuclzymax, three dust UTXOs so far as of now.

It's funny how some default to number voodoo to pull some rabbits out of their magic hats. Oh boy, and the magic just sucks and doesn't work, does it?

This puzzle gives you an understanding of the beauty of Mathematics. I am very glad that it exists. I think one address will be Mine! There are a huge number of options to search for.


I've been watching everything that's happening here since 2016, all the Ideas that you propose and dispute. Interesting. The Creator has given a field of action, Want to be rich, be the first to figure out how to deal with 16 numbers. Thanks to Him the Creator for His generosity, and to everyone who is trying to find a method that can give wealth for many centuries for all children and children from children.

While I admire your passion for the puzzle, statistically speaking, you might have better odds of winning the lottery than cracking a 16-number mystery designed to be unsolvable. At least with the lottery, the rules are clear....

What do you mean? There is a 100% certainty a 16 character number can be found. Bram found two within a month of each other, using clear and defined rules eg: math/speed.

Of course it can be found. But do you have a GPU farm to find it in a month? Otherwise the chance of finding it its slower thant winning lottery

I'm not talking about resources. You tailored what I said into a conversation that only existed in your head and then replied to it.

The guy said it was "designed to be unsolvable". It was literally designed to be even more solvable by reducing the range and exposing pub keys.

[hoanghuy2912]

I think we should give up because of the lack of reality.

[Wanderingaran]

It was literally designed to be even more solvable by reducing the range and exposing pub keys.

Give me the public key for puzzle 71

No. But I'll give you a dramatically reduced range. Somewhere in there: 400000000000000000:7fffffffffffffffff

Stop complaining about everything and try to find it with us.

Does your "custom code" actually do H160 in a specific key range (not endo, etc.)? 8.2 Gk/s with only 84 SM sounds too good to believe. Not impossible, though it would be really impressive, if actually true.

It's CUDA

Great speed but dont have range Start and End.

I have modified FixedPaul VanitySearch, which allow custom start:end range and add new pure (blind random) mode without any sequential approach, the current default random mode is using some hybrid approach.

But in this process, I'd like to focus on spesific range, slice it using my own code for slicing the range based on bit length / custom distance between sliced start:end , so i use sequential in this process :
