Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it

I've got a question.
Are we sure that the numbers are 100% random? I mean can there be a way of predicting exactly what the next key is or just it's range of values?

Yes. The numbers are 100% random.
This knowledge comes directly from the creator.

Does that mean that even predicting the region in 2^n is considered luck or is there a pattern in region changes?

This is known ... Each subsequent address is in the range of one higher than the previous one, i.e. if address # 58 was in 2 ^ 57 then # 59 is in 2 ^ 58. This is the only rule that takes place here and also comes from the creator.

So it's not really a puzzle, just a race. Making a pool would speed things up but then dividing the prize would be a problem, ok got it
