It's much simpler. The code used to create the sequence was already published in this thread. You only need to specify the seed phrase.
I changed it a little.
Code:
import random
import hashlib
import base58
import ecdsa

for puzzle in range(1, 257):
      lower = 2 ** (puzzle - 1)
      upper = (2 ** puzzle) - 1
      seed = "SEED" + str(puzzle)
      random.seed(seed)
      dec = random.randint(lower, upper)
     
      """Convert a seed in hex and WIF format."""
      private_key_hex = "%064x" %  dec                       #HEX Private Key
      private_key_bytes = bytes.fromhex(private_key_hex)
      extended_key = b'\x80' + private_key_bytes
      extended_key += b'\x01'
      checksum = hashlib.sha256(hashlib.sha256(extended_key).digest()).digest()[:4]
      wif_bytes = extended_key + checksum
      wif_compressed = base58.b58encode(wif_bytes).decode()  #WIF Compressed Private Key
     
      """Convert a WIF in compressed Hash160."""
      sk = ecdsa.SigningKey.from_string(private_key_bytes, curve=ecdsa.SECP256k1)
      vk = sk.get_verifying_key()
      public_key = vk.to_string("compressed")
      sha256_hash = hashlib.sha256(public_key).digest()
      ripemd160 = hashlib.new("ripemd160")
      ripemd160.update(sha256_hash)
      addressHash = ripemd160.hexdigest()    # HASH160 KEY
     
      """Convert a compressed Hash160 to Address format."""
      key_hash = '00' + addressHash   
      sha = hashlib.sha256()
      sha.update( bytearray.fromhex(key_hash) )
      checksum = sha.digest()
      sha = hashlib.sha256()
      sha.update(checksum)
      checksum = sha.hexdigest()[0:8]
      cAddr = base58.b58encode( bytes(bytearray.fromhex(key_hash + checksum) )).decode('utf-8')    #Compressed Address Key
           
      print(f"{puzzle} Hex = {private_key_hex} Address = {cAddr}")
     
      """Save to file."""
      with open("output.txt", "a") as f:
          f.writelines(f" Seed = {seed} Hex = {private_key_hex} Address = {cAddr} Wif = {wif_compressed} \n")

I stumbled upon this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Euhs7bzGM

He claims to have found the deterministic nature of the puzzle seeds and to have solved 71.
Mastermind or possible scam attempt?

Might be Japanese (again!  Smiley ) looking at his script comments.
I saw the Thread on Reddit it's a full scam there is a malicious code in the program once you download it it injects your c:// file system and whenever you find a match of the target with any other software it will send it right away to the Creator of the program he got an idea which is falsely misleading everyone that he had found the solution of the puzzle! the coins are just in place and at current time and if I had a such code I wouldn't be sharing it with the public I would take all the coins for myself.

The moment the funds still remains there, no matter what someone says it’s prolly gonna be a lie. We’re supposed to doubt of everyone who claims that solved it or found a miraculous way to crack it, as we see until today: everybody who said that didn’t actually solved it. There’s no such a thing. Even if it was true no one would share. Sometimes people deserve what they’re going through for believing in shortcuts and dreams

If that was truly your wallet, the input addresses would already be known in stead of " unknown addresses ".
 Because you fake-imported the address without key,  you then  have to click the tools icon at top right for it to pull the address info from blockchain for you since it wasn't native to this wallet, which it surely would be if it was in your true localized history. In the end , you obviously just simply manually added the address of 71 as the  receiving address into your wallet text file. This will cause a corruption flag at start up but it will open and even look legit until its time to send due to invalid sig. That right there was all the info I personally needed to see this is complete BS before wasting any additional seconds of my life on entertaining your claim.
-Have a nice day!

Unless some billionaire decides, just for fun, to waste a few million $, or BTC goes to 500k, we'll be talking about Puzzle 71 in 2029 as well.

Hello, Bitcointalk community,

Link To Source Code https://github.com/georgetoloraia/intelligent-puzzle-solver

I have been fascinated by the cryptographic puzzles within our space and have developed an open-source, educational C++ project aimed at the 71-bit puzzle range (2^70 to 2^71). This is not a brute-force tool but an adaptive intelligence system that learns from its search attempts to optimize the process.

This solver implements a multi-threaded, self-optimizing search strategy. Instead of blind sequential scanning, it analyzes partial hash160 collisions to intelligently guide its search.

Core Concept: When a generated key produces a hash160 that matches the first N characters of the target, the system identifies the key's region as "promising" and focuses more computational power around it.

Self-Evolving Intelligence: The program dynamically adjusts its search threshold and resource allocation in real-time based on what it learns.

If anyone is interested, please help me improve, I love all ideas, even the smallest ones.

AI shit code, let’s bin it.

I solved 67 and 68 using custom software distributing the load across ~25k GPUs. 4090 stocks speeds : ~8.1Bkeys/sec. Don’t challenge me technically if you know shit about fuck, I’ll ignore you. Same goes if all you can do is LLM reply.

My repurposed Bluetooth thermometer has more chances to find the key, than that GPT-based code running on a next-gen supercomputer.

Do you know that what you did is just a little basic pre-filtering before a search?  Cheesy

No, that doesn't mean anything, it can be anywhere, there are probably billions of addresses that start with this..

this is a big scam
the china or japanese men write me if i want the key for all puzzle address


Requirements

1. A copy of original ID or Drivers license
2. Proof of address

The prices indicated aren't final prices. 70% of the wallet value has to be paid back after verifying the wif key and wallet balance. The origin of Bitcoin contained in these puzzle wallets is unknown. I'm not responsible for how you choose to spend them. Those planning to run away with it, this won't be your lucky day!
