Somebody let me know if I find the full address before Bram Smiley

t.me/puzzleprefixes

Those are coming in real-time. But I may be asleep when the real deal Holyfield address is found...so, wake me, if need be, LOL!
Increased the minimum match to 44 bits as 40 bits was creating too many results being sent to channel.

Wake me up LOL!

I have now full-on created a bot that subscribed to your channel. A post will be made automatically on this thread if the correct address pops up. Until then, nice collection - I'll use a modified version of BSGS to reverse engineer the private key ranges of each set of addresses flowing in, wish me luck.

@bilbigin: dude, you can do whatever you want with your time, life, and resources. Yes, I'm not scanning for the address puzzles simply because the chances of success are not worth at all the time and money to waste on it. While your spreadsheet (!) suggests you where to look for the next 52-bit prefix this week, Bram already went through 80 of them, on average. By that, I mean that using MATH and PROBABILITY, I am 99.99% confident he went through at least 60 and at most 100 52-bit prefixes so far. The rest of the 0.01% chances are that he found less than 60 or more than 100.

Now, who do you think has the higher chances? The guy who finds one 52-bit prefix per day due to limited resources (limited meaning dozens of GPUs running non-stop) or the guy who eats through them like a hot knife goes through butter?
