Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
That’s not true. I’ve been working on Puzzle 73 for months and have scanned everything up to prefix 14 from 1000000000000000000 to 14fffffffffffffffff. Higher puzzles like 71+ are absolutely being searched, even if they haven’t been solved yet.
comme on 
) how long and what power did you scan from 10 to 14.. for puzzle 73 )Let’s just say it took time, decent firepower, and good software. If you know, you know.
Seems as everyone and their dog is a crypto genius these days, breaking boundaries this or that as easy as a weekend barbecue.
Needless to say, what you claim as having done has an identical problem size as P71, and requires at a bare minimum a few million $ to accomplish. If you know, you know this is why people like Bram won't bother with 71+ for quite some time. Going after 71 and up is simply throwing money out the window today.
