Hello everyone,
I’m just an ordinary person who has poured every ounce of energy and savings into cracking Bitcoin Puzzle #71 for months.
This puzzle is unimaginably hard, with a private key range of 2^60 keys—far beyond anything I ever imagined.

I’ve scanned over 2^60 private keys, coming very close to the target address but still no success.
Every time I get close, it tears my heart apart, as my time, money, and energy drain away, and my life crumbles.

I have no money left, not even for basic living expenses, debts weigh on me like mountains, and I want to give up.
But a tiny flicker of hope inside me keeps me going.
I’m not chasing fortune; I’m just trying to survive, hoping for even the smallest help to breathe and keep fighting.

I sincerely ask you to help me. Even a tiny bit of BTC could give me the strength to live on.
I know it’s a lot to ask, but I’ve reached my breaking point.

This is my Bitcoin address:
bc1pe552kve5y4u4edvhq5egrw82e3zu9z8agtmywyysz9e2ajhtq5zsd5z0xu

Please help me. Give me a chance to survive.
Thank you, and may everyone who reads this be safe and well.

Did I just read “please fund my GPU rental for puzzle 71” ?
I do not intend to disrespect or accuse anyone, but when someone asks for help, the very first thing that must prove their genuine need for assistance is honesty. At the very least, if you had provided the wallet address used to pay for the server rentals so far, that would have strongly supported the truth of your claim! Instead, you gave an address that hasn’t had a single transaction.
