I have been experimenting for months with popular algorithms like Kangaroo, Baybestep,.. but all have no results, need more efficient algorithms. As the last comment of author Satoshi_Rising he said all addresses belong to the same wallet, this means they have the same master key. Hope some genius will have more ideas.

These algorithms are useless in those puzzles in which the public key has not been revealed, the first on the list with that condition is 135 and yes, without another type of approximation it is practically impossible to solve.

Then explain why 1-70 were solved without the pub key.
Puzzles 1 to 64 and 66 to 69 were solved with pure brute force algorithms, which is the only way to achieve it without the public key exposed (keyhunt for example) and it was possible because the search range was sufficiently limited for the current computational capacity, or its proximity to the beginning of the range in the case of 69. ericb148 said "I have been experimenting for months with popular algorithms like Kangaroo, Baybestep,.. but all have no results", of course, if he did it in puzzles like 69 or 71 he could keep trying until the end of days on planet Earth, since THOSE algorithms (BSGS, Kangaroo) require the public key. That's what I wanted to clarify.
