As everyone knows, most coins offered as rewards for solving puzzles focus on similar tasks involving brute force.
Whoever has the most processing power wins the puzzle prize - This is unfair!
You and I all know very well that solving such complex puzzles with numbers 71 or more can take years or even decades,
but people want to live now! So what's the point of keeping these coins if almost no one will ever get them?
Thus, even here, the Satoshi Nakamoto principle of one processor per vote is violated (For those who solve the puzzle it looks like 1 brain 1 vote).
To get my point, imagine retirees in Australia using a metal detector to find gold nuggets for fun. So, I see solving puzzles as almost the same activity for retirees. Why not?
Therefore, I propose distributing the reward among other puzzles that ordinary people of various professions can solve, not just programmers or mathematicians.
Bitcoin is integrated into the lives of people of many professions, and these people don't have aspirations for a large prize.
Even if the prize is only $100, there will be many such prizes, and everyone will have the opportunity to test their individual intellectual abilities by solving a puzzle.
If you're in favor of creating many different puzzles for ordinary people, please share your thoughts in this thread.
Thank you all for your attention and the time you spent reading my idea.
I hope the puzzle creator will consider my proposal and figure out how to help ordinary people.

I think the creator created those puzzles not to distribute his bitcoins to everyone. I think the motivation is to know how safe bitcoin is, or how powerful the new hardware now. The puzzle creator don't care about the average joe, he cares about the bitcoin security.

To do this, you don’t need to create a puzzle, the creator is not an idiot, he knows perfectly well what equipment there is in the world and how much time it will take to puzzle resolve. The issue of security research is not in front of the puzzle maker, he is just laughing and mocking us, wasting our time is this not clear? Do you watch shows on television? So this is the same thing.

The hardware keep improving and methods also keep improving. Without this puzzles we don't know the advancement of bitcoin tools and hardware. This puzzle is not created to entertain you, this serve as gauge of bitcoin security.

It's a challenge, not a puzzle. It's designed to test Bitcoin's security, not to be grabbed at all unless some breakthrough innovation in computing power happens. Get a job.

None of the people who made these puzzles and staged this circus with a GPU power race are concerned about the security of bitcoins. Old wallets from 2010 continue to wake up and millions of old coins will collapse BTC price at any moment. I understand that there is no limit to greed and therefore the price of Bitcoin can grow indefinitely, but for some reason it is not customary to talk about old coins, everyone is silent as if these coins do not exist or they are lost forever. It is these millions of coins that pose a threat to the security of Bitcoin, and not the computing power of the video cards of users who hunt for coins, like a donkey following a carrot that is dangled in front of its head by its rider.
