I have made a new discovery today, ( at least for me is new). You all know about lambda right?  Here :
5363ad4cc05c30e0a5261c028812645a122e22ea20816678df02967c1b23bd72

Multiplying any point by lambda will *metamorphose our x but not our y coordinates. I just realized if we take for example :
04bcace2e99da01887ab0102b696902325872844067f15e98da7bba04400b88fcb483ada7726a3c 4655da4fbfc0e1108a8fd17b448a68554199c47d08ffb10d4b8

04c994b69768832bcbff5e9ab39ae8d1d3763bbf1e531bed98fe51de5ee84f50fb483ada7726a3c 4655da4fbfc0e1108a8fd17b448a68554199c47d08ffb10d4b8

0479be667ef9dcbbac55a06295ce870b07029bfcdb2dce28d959f2815b16f81798483ada7726a3c 4655da4fbfc0e1108a8fd17b448a68554199c47d08ffb10d4b8

And dividing all three keys above by 2, will give us :
041b7b24bfec17f17cfad4ed5d26f3ba3f2ecde9516100d16dbfa3986c27223893c0c686408d517 dfd67c2367651380d00d126e4229631fd03f8ff35eef1a61e3c

04e484db4013e80e83052b1267603def814791291a8a098469934ed0bc5f7e2739c0c686408d517 dfd67c2367651380d00d126e4229631fd03f8ff35eef1a61e3c

0400000000000000000000003b78ce563f89a0ed9414f5aa28ad0d96d6795f9c63c0c686408d517 dfd67c2367651380d00d126e4229631fd03f8ff35eef1a61e3c

If we divide the keys above by any number, all their y coordinates will be identical, EC is like a giant web of interconnected triangles, by any chance is there any EC calculation which only y coordinates are used for an operation?


* I was reminded of Nevermore in dota. 🙃



Since I was nominated as the master mathematician, I invented this number  1073741824, there should be that many puzzle #66 identical addresses in 66 bit range?
