So you're saying that you can still use JLP's code for #130 as long as the range is smaller? smaller by how much? can you give me an example?
You mean like instead of
200000000000000000000000000000000:3ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
you make it like
210000000000000000000000000000000:220000000000000000000000000000000 
or something?


JLP's kangaroo supports a maximum range width of 125 bits.

So you can split #130 into multiple chunks each with 125 bit width at max.

Chunks with 125 bit width would look like this for #130:

200000000000000000000000000000000:21FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
220000000000000000000000000000000:23FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
240000000000000000000000000000000:25FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
...

Now imagine all the years and decades wasted searching through empty sub-ranges.
