This is the output i got when i tested:
Private Key: 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002000000000010c4fc
Public Key: 03747a90acd8efec7e9cf1a7555b6c9e4404fc521fc3aebb965bc3bf7e73ef1579
Bitcoin Address: 88508b5ae0788248196a88b63949182342c66ca2
Negated Private Key: fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a039bfd25e8cd0257c45
Negated Public Key: 02747a90acd8efec7e9cf1a7555b6c9e4404fc521fc3aebb965bc3bf7e73ef1579
Negated Bitcoin Address: c711d99906689482d858a688a3cef4ee5f652e48

i see pub key and negated pub key are the same, how can i use this?


One use could be that if you have a pub with pk= 0x2710-N, negating would go from a 256-bit key to Pk= 0x2710 (equivalent to the range of: puzzle #14),
