I have great news! You can compare the chances between puzzle 69 and puzzle 135. You will discover that 135 is actually easier to solve than 69, by an edge of around 50% (when factoring in the GK/s processing advantage).
i use privatekeys.pw calculator for puzzle 135 with 30Ekeys i get 13802108831432.087 years , for puzzle 69 with 400Mkeys i get 46763.364 years (same server)

Oh no, 30 ExaKeys/s to solve 135 takes 1000 times the age of the Universe?

Do you have access to a piece of paper and a pencil? Maybe solve for this:

- number of operations: 1.7 * 2**67
- speed: [whatever you can afford] ops/second

As a hint: a single RTX 4090 has [whatever you can afford] around 10.5 GK/s
Another hint: a single core of a medium-grade CPU has [whatever you can afford] around 15 MK/s

you are comparing speed of 1 rtx4090 with speed of one CPU / compare the prices and electricity also not only the speed Smiley
i was just saying that chances (even it takes milions trilions of years dont matter) but the chances are better with 1 GPU/CPU to scan for p69 than p135
