You're about to embark on a Python journey to solve BTC ranges from 67 to 160, right? Well, get ready for a thrilling race… at turtle speed. 🐢 Let’s be honest: this task is like trying to find a single needle in the Grand Canal of China using chopsticks, while blindfolded, during a sandstorm, with mittens on. Sure, Python is easy to learn—perfect for beginners, but this task? Your CPU might become a toaster before you even scratch the surface of that range.

Even if you add a single GPU, it's like giving roller skates to a sloth. Still slow, just now with wheels. 🔥 Yes, technically, there's a chance you'll find something, but that chance is about as likely as getting struck by lightning while holding a winning lottery ticket in one hand and a four-leaf clover in the other.

There are faster and more efficient tools out there. Python’s great for a lot of things, but for this? Not so much. You’d have better luck training a pigeon to pick numbers randomly than running a brute-force Python script. So unless you want your computer to burn through its lifespan in service of the RNG gods, maybe just grab some popcorn, sit back, and binge-watch a series on iQiyi.  Wink
