Is anyone around these woods? So I understand if we hit a target while adding and subtracting it will show the public key zero aka 02000 with a lot of other zeros, but what does it mean when I have done the subtraction and it shows 0200000 # target. What to do now?

My man, I’ve told you to stop messing with tools you don’t 100 percent understand lol.

The target is the pubkey you are subtracting from; the one you put in the command line to add/subtract from.

You realize you have to run all of the added/subtracted pubkeys through a range and program to try to find them right? Keysubtracter is just a tool that helps you generate many offset pubkeys to search for. Then you have to actually search for them. If you find one, then you add or subtract the number beside it (find the pubkey found via some other program, in your keysubtracter output file) to find the target pubkey you initially entered into the keysubtracter program.

If you entered pubkey x and generated 100 offset pubkeys and you searched via another program and found pubkey 97, You now take pubkey 97’s private key, look it up in your keysubtracter output file, find the + or - number beside it, add or subtract that number, and you will now have the private key to the public key you entered into the keysubtracter program, aka your target pubkey.

Sorry for asking but I don't understand, let's say for puzzle 135... if I add/substract with the command ./keysubtracter -p 02145d2611c823a396ef6712ce0f712f09b9b4f3135e3e0aa3230fb9b6d08d1e16 -n 100 -b 90 ... then on Kangaroo what range should I use ? The range for 135 bits key or the range for 90 bits ?
