is it possible to iterate through private keys within a given range while instantly filtering out "unreliable" keys, without affecting the speed of the iteration itself?

NO.....

Even if you were God the Father, you couldn’t bypass the mathematics.

The real computational bottleneck isn’t in checking keys but in the elliptic curve multiplication (ModMulK) required to derive public keys from private keys.

So it’s futile for me to pray to God to guess the puzzle. Without an accelerated ModMulK, is there really nothing that can be done?  Tongue
