if this possible i want a python code or something using this entropy details i could try to hope to find a collision to my address or the change addresses in my wallet at that time .
Interestingly, it's slightly close to the current "puzzle transaction" unsolved output's possible WIF private key's missing characters.

For example, the current unsolved puzzle #66's WIF private key might start with KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3q... (more or less), the rest are the unknown characters.
People have been brute-forcing it non-stop (collaborative/solo) with expensive machines but some claims that it'll still take years to solve. (DYOR)
Yours has 21 missing characters which must be exponentially harder than puzzle #66. (maybe ask the puzzle solver of #68~70 in the future)
Not to mention, if the missing character's positions are random.

For reference:
Here's the puzzle transaction's thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306983.0
Here are the solved puzzle's private keys: https://privatekeys.pw/puzzles/bitcoin-puzzle-tx.
To view each output's WIF: Click the corresponding prvKey (HEX), then go to "Wallet Import Format (WIF)" tab.
