I am the creator.
You are quite right, 161-256 are silly. I honestly just did not think of this. What is especially embarrassing, is this did not occur to me once, in two years. By way of excuse, I was not really thinking much about the puzzle at all.
I will make up for two years of stupidity. I will spend from 161-256 to the unsolved parts, as you suggest. In addition, I intend to add further funds. My aim is to boost the density by a factor of 10, from 0.001*length(key) to 0.01*length(key). Probably in the next few weeks. At any rate, when I next have an extended period of quiet and calm, to construct the new transaction carefully.
A few words about the puzzle. There is no pattern. It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty). It is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community.
Finally, I wish to express appreciation of the efforts of all developers of new cracking tools and technology. The "large bitcoin collider" is especially innovative and interesting!
It also goes without saying that I am not satoshi, we are not the same person.
If the creator says there is no pattern, why do you say there is one?
If you found something magical, why don't you claim the puzzle yourself?
If you are the creator, why don't you reveal the pk of the solved puzzles?
Or if you are rich enough to not care about the amount of the puzzle, why don't you take the money from puzzle 66 and distribute it to someone here or by choosing random addresses?
because if you want to give clues to something, you must start by giving truthful evidence.
Because the truth is that many of us are navigating this world without money to walk along dead-end roads, it's a bit cruel to give false clues, right?
