There are just so many ranges on Puzzle #66 that its near impossible to solo.

Stats from ttdsales pool below in my sig.

Total Ranges Checked: 92,272 of 33,554,432
Total Private Keys Checked: 101.45414 Quadrillion
Percentage completed: 0.274992%

the ttd pool is using a customised vanitygen for cracking, source is available in the files on the site. seems to work quicker than Bitcrack. Worth trying out even if not with the pool, I found big improvements on the 2080 Ti's and 3070's not as much on the 3090's but still faster.

Better to try luck alone, perhaps sharing the ranges already tested. The prize is too small to split into a group. I believe that a random approach in choosing only the intervals is the best solution because it allows you to test small portions of the entire range and make a good competition to groups organized in a pool.
