This is the next public key (#110, with a private key in range [ 2^109 , 2^110 - 1], 109 bit) they have been looking for over 7,5 months (about 225 days):

The Pollard's kangaroo ECDLP solver needs 2*(2^(109/2)) = 2^55.5 steps to retrieve this private key, a GPU that computes 2^30 steps/sec would take 2^25.5 seconds, about 550 days.

128 RTX 2080 Tis.

Who else other than you has that kind of GPU power?

Those of us lucky to have 4 2080 Ti's have no chance of solving anything in time.
