Hey Guys!

I was wondering if a feedback system be established to determine the relative positions of two secp256k1 public keys? For instance, if one wishes to ascertain the distance between the public key associated with private key 100 and the public key of 1, and observes that it takes an average of 5 minutes to transition from key 100 to key 1, could one infer that the distance is halved when moving from key 50 to key 1, resulting in an average time of 2.5 minutes? Is it feasible to obtain such feedback?

Well, at first I thought you just cracked elliptic curve cryptography, but again when I think about your idea, of course you can have that, but it won't be accurate and precise, though you are talking about 1 and 100, while in the case of puzzle keys, we are now looking at 2^129 to be the distance between 2 keys. However if you are seeing your speed, you can guess the time yourself, just set the counter on your pc and check how long it takes.

Wait let me tell you, it takes the same as your speed rate, if 10 key per second is your speed, it should take around 10 seconds to go from 1 to 100.

Now I have an idea, what if we divide our key by 2 and start adding 100 trillion G at each step, we should see our original target +100 T at some point in time, right?

For example, target 1000, divide by 2 = 500, if we keep adding 10 to 500 we would reach 1000 after 50 steps and in 51st step we would see 1010, that way we can find our target very fast, right?

Let me go try a few things.😉

Hey Have you tried something? lemme know and btw.. do you think there exists a way to get feedback on the position of the secp256k1 public key?
