I could create hundreds of scripts that match the puzzle, but the creator most likely edited the keys manually, otherwise random would be used instead of pre-generated HD wallets.
haven't you learned to quote properly?
It is not manually it is with some script, errors = ZERO
Don't you think you are assuming too much, with the little we know about the creator? We really don't even know if he knows how to program or not.
you just want to justify your answer against all possibilities.
He simply said that he used an HD wallet and modified the keys with zeros and ones, that is, he removed part of the keys to establish the difficulty.
If it were done through a script, it would be used randomly and not a pre-generated HD wallet because it would save lines and lines of code because each puzzle is different.
Besides, you always do the same thing. You say that there is no mathematical solution other than brute force because you tried and you didn't succeed. You are supposed to be the god of everything and we have to believe you? At what point did science stop being based on questioning the rest?.
The fact that you have created software by mixing all the findings of other people does not make you a wise scholar, just another programmer.
