Results are only useful to prove predictions, not the other way around. Maybe you found some way to use the conditional probability, as you call it, into the mix, and maybe that helps to find better prefixes, I'm not saying it doesn't. But that doesn't change at all the chances that you can always skip the key you're actually looking for - it's the same.
You say that this can happen with conditional probability.
I didn't say I won't skip the key. I didn't say it definitely won't happen. I didn't say it's impossible.
Do you accept this?
With this level of hardware power, if you had the knowledge to calculate the locations of the Prefixes.
1- Would you prefer the entire range or RANDOM scanning?
2- Would you chase the 1 in 1024 chance, even though you know the locations of close to 1024 with average probability?
I would be happy if you give a short answer. 1? 2?
If you choose 1, I can say a lot of words for you.
If you choose 2, you are thinking right. I wish you success in your studies.
I tested ranges from 32 to 256 bits, but the frequency of matching prefixes for the 68th key remains the same. Regardless of the range size—68, 256, or 32 bits—there's no difference. This completely crushes any hope of success unless you have an army of a thousand RTX 5090s to find the "golden key."
