@WanderingPhilospher it seems that I can only write 1 PM every hour, sorry. So that's not going to work.

Anyway to answer your PM I'm 80% certain about the range. I created the wallet years ago manually and was dumb enough to use it!!

That said, I think I prefer searching for it myself. If you would like to help with the setup, where it's best to rent GPUs, what version of Kangaroo to use, etc happy to pay a fee. I hope you understand, it's too much BTC to just give away the public key on a forum!

Thanks!!

Hello,

How long does it take to find a key in the 2^110 range? I know for this challenge it was found on 2020-05-30? But 3 years past and surely this range can be searched much quicker now? Can someone give me a time estimate and hardware if we were to search realistically this range? I am asking because I might have an old address where the key could be in that range...but not sure. And I don't want to spend thousands on hardware without knowing approx. how log it twill take to search the range with Kangaroo.

Thanks!!!
