85 seconds for puzzle 48, equivals to aproximately 45 years for puzzle 71 at, think about it

Your estimate is for sequential calculations within a range, right? The lottery is either a lottery or it never comes or it could be now because it doesn't follow any range

only luck

It has been debated to death (and proved in all shapes and forms): "luck" is not affected if you scan either sequentially vs. some picked untested key (either at a random position, or via whatever other made-up logic, like prefixes).
What
gets affected though, is the
efficiency of the computations, and there is absolutely nothing currently that is known to be more efficient (e.g. that costs less or runs faster) than a full-on sequential scan. That is, if one wants to solve anything in the most efficient manner possible, not playing bingo with the elliptic curve and two uniform hash functions.
Well..
technically this is.it's true
fullthat the best thing is a sequential and complete scan
within the intended range, but I'm not interested in spending money on rentals to find a 71-bit key within the time I can live

That way I have fun and luck (whitout calculations) and chance remain with me to find 71 at low cost.
That's why it was so much fun to take 2 hours to find key 48,
as well as or in 85 seconds

)The expectation is very good, even when it may never happen. "Put the coin in the machine, select the 18 characters and let it go"
