can anyone tell me if the puzzle 130 starts from 2 or 3 ?  since the range is 0x200000000000000000000000000000000 and 0x3ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff can anyone tell me if its private key starts from 2 or 3 ?
Try this to figure it out, multiply puzzle #130 by 4 then subtract the result from this key
Code:
0x0000000000000000000000000000001000000000000000000000000000000000
Public_key=
02e4f3fb0176af85d65ff99ff9198c36091f48e86503681e3e6686fd5053231e11
Then divide the result by 4 and subtract the result from puzzle key, you should see
Code:
0x0000000000000000000000000000000300000000000000000000000000000000

The reason why that is happening  is because it starts with 3.
