I noticed that some people in the group are searching for prefixes of the Bitcoin address:
1PWo3JeB9jrGwfHDNpdGK54CRas7fsVzXU
For example: 1PWo3JeB, and so on.
Can anyone with experience explain the reasoning behind this?
It doesn’t make sense to me, since the private key is what gets incremented, and each key generates a completely different Bitcoin address.
What am I missing here?!!!
The purpose is jump between prefixs for reduce scanning, but the problem is the distance between prefixs target is not same because the distribution is not predictable.
this the example of scanning with sequential, you can see the distance is can't predicted. Even when we use average distance but that not guarantee the calculation not skipped the puzzle target.

I believe that if there's any way to predict the next range or even just determine the maximum possible prefixes, it would be a game changer. It could help avoid wasting time and resources.
