When I solved #125 I gave up because it became boring. I thought someone else would solve #130, but nobody did it, so after a year I started again and I spent about two months to solve #130.

Interesting thanks for sharing, I just get a little confused because before you stated that it was more than a year.

3. I have no idea how some people calculated time two months between solving #125 and #130  Huh it was a year or so.
I never said that I spent a year to solve #130, I just said that time between #125 and #130 was about a year, not two months as some people calculated.

Well yes some other users already said that those DP for another rages can help too,my doubt is that if you use them as is or they need some shift/calculation?

It depends on a method used, in my method I can use old DPs easily (just convert all DPs to tames) because my tame kangs are next to zero and their range is small. For classic methods I like this idea:

Not just fishy but VERY fishy. Is this the son of Elon musk or something? We need clarifications from others!!

Why fishy? It makes perfect sense. By solving #120 and especially #125, he had enough BTC, so there was no need to bother further with solving #130 immediately, thus leaving #130 for other people to showcase their skills, but as no one managed to take the opportunity, he came back and solved #130 by himself, not for crypto, but for prestige, and prestige will be even higher once when he solves #135.

Exactly. I'm a retired coder, a good one, so I do it for fun mostly when I have time and interest, and it becomes boring after a month of managing a network of GPUs.

PS. This thread is useless, no tech discussions, 95% are trolls, haters and people with strange ideas, so I will try to avoid/ignore it as I did in the past.
