Where is the evidence to back all this fud about the creator of this challenge?

There is no evidence, but there is also no proof that anyone has solved Puzzle 130 using Kangaroo and a massive number of GPUs. I can’t believe anyone would be so crazy as to invest that much hardware in this. It would be more profitable to mine BTC for the same amount of time.

The Creator just wants to turn everyone into a human centipede in the search for the 67th and 68th bits. As he himself stated, there is no connection between all the keys, they were random, so this isn't a puzzle—it's just a GPU strength test, pure brute force. Kangaroo was an outstanding tool for its time and purpose, searching by public key, but there’s nothing heroic or scientific about brute-forcing the lower bits, because there’s no public key there. The experiment on studying Bitcoin's encryption strength is over! Thank you all, you’re free to go!

nah, i dont aggree with this, imo bitcoin is work with computational power, but else of formula is make from human things.
still can be breach out with math, look out theres other challenge to unlock bitcoin with math.

You remind me of a fork of Digaran, with his endless attempts at pseudo-mathematical attacks on Elliptic Curve. You all just need to focus on your families instead of wasting your lives on nonsense.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand that you have a different perspective, and I respect that. However, I have my own view on this, and it's based on certain facts and research that I believe are valid. I'm happy to have a conversation where we can both share our ideas, but it's important for both of us to stay open-minded and respectful.
