Were you in a cave for the last couple of years? I mean my old laptop with a low end GPU can eat 30MK/s, now you want us to chew 17 Mk in a day? Wasn't it enough that with trillions of keys per second we'd still be years from finding 66, now we have to keep searching till the sun dies off into darkness.🤣

Keep at it though, every person is an asset ( to share our desperation and despair). Sigh. Lol

Yeah it does 16 Mil per thread, at 8 thread rig it should do 128 Mil per day, my server does about 512 Mil.

If you think you can optimize the code to check faster, then try as each private key needs to be validated against the algo for the public key, this take processing time buddy.

With what 800 quad quadrillions possibilities your talking 100 of thousands of years, that is if you check from bottom to top, randomly is another belong game, as random numbers can repeat

I wonder if keys were generated by some deterministic wallet first, and then truncated to N bits. Because in that case, it could be possible to recover the master key, and then sweep coins from all of them, while it would not mean that ECDSA is broken (because HD keys could be non-hardened).

Interesting puzzle, i thought this maybe to, checked at pattern between binary values, decimal values, floor values. Just can find anything

I updated an excel sheet with allot more data of each puzzle I added, but I'm stumped

Since this range is just so huge, I think a random generator would maybe work best to try and find the needle.

I attached below my python script trying the next puzzle randomly if someone might benefit to
