Guys, tell me, can you read?  I already provided you a free python script that will show the exact number of combinations to iterate over, given a specific number of ones in the key:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306983.msg62662714#msg62662714

I even gave a specific example where the discussed method works worse than a simple sequential enumeration!

but you stubbornly continue to write all sorts of garbage...

If you are too lazy to run the script, here are some results:

Code:
KEY_SIZE = 30
ONES = 14
Combinations: 67863915

KEY_SIZE = 30
ONES = 16
Combinations: 77558760


KEY_SIZE = 66
ONES = 30
Combinations: 2507588587725537680

KEY_SIZE = 66
ONES = 31
Combinations: 3009106305270645216

KEY_SIZE = 66
ONES = 32
Combinations: 3397378086595889760

KEY_SIZE = 66
ONES = 33
Combinations: 3609714217008132870

you will need to try a huge number of incorrect combinations before you find the right key.
