Since this proof of concept project does offer a reward, .04 BTC for the key finder, I've been thinking about opening different ports up for different ranges.

That way people can search in whichever range they feel the key is in.

I'm willing to do 8, one for each top range.

Example:

port 80 = 800...8FF
port 81 = 900...9FF

all the way down to

port 87 = F00...FFF

What say you?

Or at least 2 ports, 1 for 800...BFF and 1 port for C00...FFF, since most people think the key lies in the C to F range.
