Hi. I probably misunderstood something.

In your example #57 (first 200 bit + last 56 bit) =

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000011101011001001011100100100000111100101 011101011000011100

HEX: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000eb25c90795d61c => 1J9zB6p4dRgyinst2eCVsyXvgYXtNhw2Y2

This is not a private key for #57

What did I miss?

I forgot '1' at the beginning of the number:

last 56 bit of the private key#57:
Code:
1101011001001011100100100000111100101011101011000011100
but there are only 55 bits

Correct-->

last 56 bit of the private key#57:
Code:
11101011001001011100100100000111100101011101011000011100

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000011110101100100101110010010000011110010 1011101011000011100

HEX  00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001eb25c90795d61c

Thank you

Yes, that was the correct hex key for #57.  I hope you got to spend it!  Smiley
