Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
I'm not stopping anyone, however people here are hard-wired that some shortcut exists (it doesn't), and a few others endorse that such shortcuts exist (when they don't).
A simple case is the post just above you, which shows that the author has no clue of the difference between a linear complexity and a non-linear complexity algorithm, resulting in a non-sense affirmation (that probabilities change with time). And a few others, that have zero clues on what complexity even means, will most likely believe it. Some words like "mistakenly believed" will be seen as "true" even though it's actually fake information (cataloguing something actually true as false).

Yes, I agree — there’s no shortcut. Even mathematically, it’s 50/50 — but denying that fact would be foolish, because there’s no definitive solution, and probability is still a real factor.
Do I need to bring the few cases of the few that lost their houses and lifetime savings chasing this fantasy that they can outsmart mathematics using Python scripts and terabytes of useless data?
And those people most likely believe in probability — and that’s their right
