Look all the posts months back ... all the python/c++/rust scripts and all the discussions and theories here - it was all pointless cause nobody here has enough computational power  which this "puzzle" is all about.

It shouldn't be called puzzle at all. It is a brute force measuring tool plus there are suspicious activities here that may point the creator of this thing is not playing fair.

What makes you think those "pointless" [pun intended] discussions were not the key [pun intended] to solving 130 a lot faster?

Good thing I kept a LOT of things to myself, it is clear that many are in read-only mode on this forum, or keep some things quiet. At least now I'm no longer in a hurry to boot up my really fast distributed Kangaroo to go after 130. I claimed like 6 months ago 130 will be solved before 66, seems I was off by only a week. 135 can be solved much faster than brute-forcing 67, simply because EC operations are a lot faster than whatever hashing...
