Probably owner get fear from script...

Seems that 125 puzzle and 130 puzzle BTC are sit on 3Emiwzxme7Mrj4d89uqohXNncnRM15YESs.

120 is also solved by 3Emi.

This 3Emi guy is definitely hiding something, or the creator himself..

Key 130 was found by the same person as the previous two.
I think he used Kangaro, and this person is a miner. The timing is roughly consistent.
I also don't think he will share the keys he found and how exactly he found them.

yeah I agree. I am using vanity for the small ones. For example there are around 10 Billion addresses starts with "1BY8G" between 2^66 and 2^67. I run 10 vanity search instances and daily around 300 unique addresses found. It is kind of a lottery for me. 300/10B is very good probability.

As for using Kangaroo method for 130bit ... as far as i know none of the publicly available software was able to do it cause they were limited to 125 or 128 bit (i don't remember).

BTW How is vanity search "better" than normal brute force ? Isn't it like you still just randomly generate private keys and check if they match given address ? If so ... then all you do is saving addresses that starts with the same characters but it doesn't increase your chances. Correct me please if i'm wrong.
