i know the public key but dont know what to do

I wonder why all those Single message accounts don't stop to appear here and there, Saying that they have magical access to some data/formula/method.

How is this considered a puzzle?

I have been working on this for years (obviously first time posting) and have come to the conclusion that there is no puzzle to solve.

This is not a puzzle it is a challenge in words of the creator:

A few words about the puzzle.  There is no pattern.  It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty).  It is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community.

How many times we need to point to that post?



Hence I dare: "to the creator/insiders/Mr. M**** just release the public keys, let the smart and attentative people have at least a lick of the shiny brass ring"

Of course there's no pattern.

However we still can't entirely rule out that someone has either insider knowledge (like a certain UAE individual who receives cut out of every single positive balance addition) or stuff with the nodes.

According to certain blockchain research tools the wallet payments (very small as they are) have some two way traffic (which is weird as it, along with the wallet name) don't show consistently.

To be honest this whole project is arguably unethical and only skill of using and making certain programmes (and in the past I say) allowed some advantage. Now it's solely about who has the most GPUs and cheapest electricity and some very elementary knowledge on going through the addresses.

Guys if we found public key for puzzle 67,68,,69
will it make it easier to find private keys ?
i know the public key but dont know what to do

Are you sure (i doubt .. but maybe i am wrong) ? try to create the address from them and see if it is the correct Pub Key

No. That's unfortunately not how public keys work.

The puzzles #67, #68, and #69 (among others) are definitelly doable. The public keys would still help though. However certain practical and advanced knowledge would be helpful. I could provide that information, publicly to this thread or via private message (better for you, just hit me up and share the keys and I'll share the links and guides) in a form of a few very friendly and useful links and 2 videos.

The public keys, should you have them at your disposal would provide help for us both. Hence I propose a simultanious exchange.
