So you suggest the entire beach should be uniform ? Howbout  a "beach" compare to the next "beach" eg 10 quantilion keyspace? 😅.  Or there might be something we can use 🤔

I believe there some kind of tiny bias , but still figure out how to use it 🙃

No, the beach isn't more or less uniform than some other beach, or the island that contains it, or the planet that holds the island. Maybe a dog pissed over the sand you're looking at, it doesn't say anything about the whole picture. That is the whole point: randomness. If you flip a coin 2 quadrillion times, it won't get to exactly 1 quadrillion heads and 1 quadrillion tails, even after quadrillions of repeats. If it does end up like that more times than expected, it doesn't make it a fair coin, it makes it a rigged coin (since you can predict the results in your favor).

Even if H160 is rigged (the beach is "uniform", or prefixes are spread out predictably in other words), it would only mean you can rig the input (the SHA256), but then you have another problem: how to find the public key (if one even exists) that hashes to that particular SHA256. And assuming you do find it, you'll then need to find the corresponding private key, which is itself a 2**124 bits problem anyway.

After lot of experiment and hashing over lots of data. I think i can rig the sha to h160 with combination of several data set result and formula.. but yes like you say it still far away from cracking the private key. Hope i find something usefull next 😅🙏
