It is not possible to reverse all public keys, but with my special program, I can determine 100% whether the result is "over" or "under." Please try creating a challenge. After running the program, just post the part of the output starting from
--- Public Keys for Each Challenge ---
and I will predict whether it is "over" or "under" within one hour.
I want to emphasize once again: not every public key in existence can be solved, but with the program I provided, it seems possible to do so.

Here is a sorted list of 100 randomly-generated compressed public keys. Exactly 50 have private keys that are less than your constant and exactly 50 have private keys that are greater. So, if you do not get 50/50, you will know something is wrong.

Good luck!

By the way, I did not use your generation code. I see no reason why that would change the results. Here is the script I used to generate the private keys and derive the associated compressed public keys:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
for i in {1..300}; do
  priv_pem=$(openssl ecparam -genkey -name secp256k1)

  priv_hex=$(printf "%s\n" "$priv_pem" \
   | openssl ec -text -noout 2>/dev/null \
   | awk '/priv:/{f=1;next}/pub:/{f=0}f' \
   | tr -d ' :\n')

  pub_hex=$(printf "%s\n" "$priv_pem" \
   | openssl ec -pubout -conv_form compressed -outform DER 2>/dev/null \
   | tail -c 33 \
   | xxd -p -c 65)

  echo "$priv_hex $pub_hex"
done > keypairs.txt

I would like to clarify that I cannot solve the problem as it was originally presented.
In my program, the condition (pma) > (pmb) must hold true for the results to be valid.
Currently, I am working under the assumption that am = (10**37) == (pma - pmb), and this relationship must be satisfied for correct outcomes.

The reason I am posting this on the forum is not to boast about what I can do,
but rather to find a partner who can work with me on discovering a method to derive pmb from pma.
