I discovered the tools yesterday in this other thread! thanks to someone that mentioned them https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1877935.msg63916232#msg63916232

I started my project few years ago, when puzzle-64 still had balance. I was away of this forum for a very long time.

I like to fork projects I like, to keep them on the radar, not making any contribution to it. That does not mean I understand all the projects I have on my github.
So I have no idea which kind of bad person you think I am. Might be your paranoia comes from a reflection of what you are.

If you don't trust my binaries, Ok, just don't run them. Your awareness message was fair enough for the community. But, they can be ran safely in VM if you are still curious.

It is my work, It is my choice to open the source or not. I hope you understand it. I am open to collaborate in private repo. My code is still not good to show, plenty of shit that needs to be cleaned. I am not very proud of it.

The motivation creating my own tool was I didn't trust the LBC collider project in perl, and I didn't trust the creators.

I see you have done very good progress here with the GPU versions.

I am still interested to know why puzzle 70, 75, 80, 85, get solved before 66.
Is it any way of constraining the search space of puzzle-66 ?

I made some statistic analysis as well and the bits of the known private keys are pretty randomly allocated in the space.

Thanks.
