So he would have to be a special idiot to buy progress files and then resell them, reducing his chances. In addition, this offer is rather addressed to people / groups who have been working on 120 for a long time, for whom these files will significantly increase the chance of finding the key faster, and not for people who will try to earn money on it. I put it only because some time ago someone somewhere asked me about these files, but then after searching my devices and being aware of how much space it took - I decided that I had to delete them (and that's how I answered this person). Yesterday it turned out something else - so my offer landed here :-) Oh and I would like to point out that I did not undertake work on #120 and definitely will not undertake it, so the buyer has no worries that I will somehow I will compete in finding the key.

I had asked last year about said progress files. So I was one of those individuals. However, the issue now is, since you did not know if you had them, work was started but not in the 115 range. Maybe someone else who inquired about the files, started working in the 115 bit range and can use them.
Best of luck to all.
