I wish I knew anything about coding

If you think realistically there are at least 10,000 programmers trying to solve the Puzzle 66 at the same time.
The result is visible on the blockchain:

They are helpless for now to solve any Puzzle from 66 and above  that does not have a Public Key displayed.
And if they have,  everything above 130 it is simply impossible to solve without huge investments that do not pay off.
So it doesn't really matter here if you know how to code or not. We are all equal in the face of an unsolvable problem.


Anyone knows anything with more fire power than sage cell or google colab etc? I'm running some scripts on them but they can't handle the load

Don't try to do that on shared services. Even if you have a large load on dedicated servers,  it can happen that you get banned from the same. Grin

^^^^^ This is the best and logical answer on this forum ^^^^^^

Most people here just wasting their time trying to solve things that are unsolvable with current hardware (at least hardware available to them).

Even using blind random cracking - realistically it's not gonna be solved in any sane amount of time.
