Come on, let's get real. I myself computed that if I had 150k $ lying around I would have solved 130 in less than 90 days. Simple crude math - divide total ops by number of op/s, again by ops/GPU/s, multiply with price/h.

So no supercomputer required here, just $ to pay for the most optimized piece of software to run, to minimize costs.

But now 135 requires 5 times more money to solve, or for GPU prices to go down, or for performance per $ to go up, which WILL happen. What I do not understand, is what the deal is with the 3Emi script address, is it a group, is it some sort of smart contract, why was it not spent already, etc.
Yes, 3Emi.... transferred

Puzzle 120 1,20 BTC   27.03.2023
Puzzle 125 12,50 BTC  09.07.2023
Puzzle 130 13,00 BTC  24.09.2024

to himself without spending anything and now has 26,70 BTC He probably waits for 1 BTC = 100.000 USD ?

But why is he hiding the the privat keys to Puzzle 120, 125 and 130 ? we got all other solved privat keys so far
