Hi,

I am struggling to find any resources on keyspace and bitcoin addressing. Recently after looking at the puzzle transactions some questions came to mind. https://privatekeys.pw/puzzles/bitcoin-puzzle-tx

  • What is keyspace exactly? is this refering to SHA256 keyspace?
  • How is it that the puzzle transactions were created in different keyspaces?
  • Can you create a bitcoin address in a specific keyspace?
  • When bitcoin addresses are made is the keyspace they are in random, or is there a preferable or more pseudorandom range that they are likely to appear in?

Thanks for answering any questions.


think easy

keyspace is only one hint of puzzle creator can tell to know

mean you can find pirivate key on keyspace area
if you fine privatekey out of keyspace each puzzle you will never found key

keyspace mean private key is between keyspace - kepspace-1
example puzzle #120 keyspace 2^120  that mean private key between 2**119 to 2**120
