I know exactly what range puzzle number 130 is in. It will reduce the key to be scanned by 50%. I will sell it to anyone who wants to buy it. proof is available. If anyone wants to know the range of PUZZLE 130 UN, I can tell you for money.

No offense, but it has already been identified couple of times. One can reduce the any given point by 50% by subtracting the starting bit point. If we are in the range of 2^129 and 2^130, if we subtract the public key point of 2^129 from the puzzle pubkey, the result is 50% down from the original pubkey. One can then start working on cracking it, and after cracking it, he can easily reach the original pubkey by simply adding 2^129 to it.
