# API endpoint
api_url = f"https://blockchain.info/q/pubkeyaddr/{address}"


Are you sure that this API is capable of displaying information from the mempool?

Guys, tell me, can you read?  I already provided you a free python script that will show the exact number of combinations to iterate over, given a specific number of ones in the key:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306983.msg62662714#msg62662714

I even gave a specific example where the discussed method works worse than a simple sequential enumeration!

but you stubbornly continue to write all sorts of garbage...

If you are too lazy to run the script, here are some results:

Code:
KEY_SIZE = 30
ONES = 14
Combinations: 67863915

KEY_SIZE = 30
ONES = 16
Combinations: 77558760


KEY_SIZE = 66
ONES = 30
Combinations: 2507588587725537680

KEY_SIZE = 66
ONES = 31
Combinations: 3009106305270645216

KEY_SIZE = 66
ONES = 32
Combinations: 3397378086595889760

KEY_SIZE = 66
ONES = 33
Combinations: 3609714217008132870

you will need to try a huge number of incorrect combinations before you find the right key.

james5000 you have errors in your calculations.
Use this code:
Code:
import math

KEY_SIZE = 5
ONES = 2

n = KEY_SIZE - 1
r = ONES - 1

combinations = math.factorial(n) // (math.factorial(r) * math.factorial(n-r))

print("KEY_SIZE =", KEY_SIZE)
print("ONES =", ONES)
print("Combinations:", combinations)

A simple example for KEY_SIZE = 5

ONES = 2
number of combinations 4:
10001
10010
10100
11000

ONES = 3
number of combinations 6:
10011
10101
11001
10110
11010
11100

ONES = 4
number of combinations 4:
10111
11011
11101
11110

total combinations 14

Let's say we are looking for the key 10111. You do not know how many units the key contains and to find this key by your method, you will first have to sort through all the ONES = 2, then all the ONES = 3, and only at step 11 will the desired key be found. If you search for the same key by a simple sequential search, it will be found at step 7, that is, faster than your method. Your method proved to be worse than a simple sequential search, in a 66-bit key your method will work for eternity....

The second day I watch what james5000 writes and it's very funny to me)
 It's especially funny to see how other people support him)
 I don’t want to offend anyone, but I get the impression that you didn’t study mathematics at school, your teacher should be very ashamed.
 The method suggested by james5000 would require you to try more than 2^65 combinations to solve a 66 bit key.
 It is impossible to go through such a number of combinations in a month, or even in a year!
 Please learn to count before you write like this, you look very stupid.
 I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, I just had to tell you that you are doing nonsense, I wish you all success!

Sorry, If I manage to solve any puzzle I will give all the information at the moment I do not have a good economic position for it.

Anyone could add x quantity to the puzzle key, generating a different public key and camouflage the puzzle with it, and by giving them information I would be solving the puzzle without knowing it.

then simply subtract that same amount from the camouflaged public key and go back to the puzzle and solve it.

Well, if that is really the problem, here is the private key for that public key:

 priv key HEX:               0x155d735095df3f8c24ee33e4dfe955da
 priv key DEC:               28399010381067550399127235982780880346

 pub key:                       0343b7d69e8372746596980d678d6cdecbffb2927916b3dbd3bc3d27bf5366b166


As you can see, I won't solve any puzzle with the info you provide; I only want to test if your script works or not.

But if you decide not to test it with me, that's OK.

Cheers.

With a known private key, each person can reduce the key to any size.  Here is an example:

115 bit
pub key: 02903740144e9f301f62362813dec638747153d4f18467f32286d09b9b4412768b
priv key: 0x5735095df3f8c24ee33e4dfe955da

85 bit
pub key: 02f50518c0b808dff5bd75f10e146d33677dccbfd18370e64be0c4cc36abc9675f
priv key: 0x1f3f8c24ee33e4dfe955da

40 bit
pub key: 03a0f8f7d72f6199bb09762c8500ed22eba5253f9661f752db338bbf5eeefb1852
priv key: 0xe4dfe955da

By revealing the private key, you will not know whether the method works or not.

If you really have a way to find out the range in which the private key is from the public key, then contact me.  I will show you how using this method of yours you can get a private key from any public.

I'm pretty sure that someone who can manage to obtain the range of the private key out of the public key can find a method to get such private key, don't you think so?

Agree.  But suddenly he really found such a way but does not understand how to apply it?

Maybe he just think he found it. As he is not willing to explain what he really found, who knows?
He made a pretty serious claim, but provided no evidence.  As long as he is silent, he exposes himself in a bad light, but at the same time he is offended by others ...
