unfortunately, there is a possibility of missing the desired value.
That said all no? The possibility of missing the target value with bigger keys is great.

found a way to reduce 1/6 total range.
python proto give a nice result for all known PK.
python proto give a nice result for all known PK.
That is only passible when you know the private key, but WITHOUT the private key all those reductions aren't possible.
for example 7-bit key can be found at 4 step (direct search from 2^6 to (2^7)-1 will find only at step 12, reduce 3 times).
1001001 1
1001010 2
1001011 3
1001100 4
result: KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M7rFU7hDgvu64y
17-bit at 17318 (direct at 30287 step, reduce ~2 times)
10111011001001111 17318
result: KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M7rFiHkRsp99uC
22-bit (direct 910351)
1011011110010000001111 607024
result: KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M7rP9Ja2dhtxoh
and so on... tested with known PK.
but still at researching.
8-bit key skiped by this method, therefore, unfortunately, there is a possibility of missing the desired value.
i was wrong about 1/6 (error with calculation was), anyway reduce are possible, but with chance to skip needed value =(
and we must take into account that by skipping some values when generating numbers, we save time on generating the address and checking it with the required one (speedup).

good luck!
Hi, who are you talking to, do you need someone help you cross the street? 😂python proto give a nice result for all known PK.
hope CUDA version will be a nice with 66..70 profit.
good luck!
Since you cared enough to share your achievement verbally, could you be kind and tell us how did you managed to reduce the range for an unknown key? You know sharing is caring right? But if you found a way to do range reduction for public keys, let us know about it, we might find some useful hints.😉

[4659.96 TeraKeys/s][Kang 10240][Count 2^26.82/2^29.07][Elapsed 02s][Dead 0][RAM 15.5MB/45.1MB]
That speed is regular for a laptop, that script is for CPU only.

Hi a maybe noob question here, is
[4659.96 TeraKeys/s][Kang 10240][Count 2^26.82/2^29.07][Elapsed 02s][Dead 0][RAM 15.5MB/45.1MB]
a good speed or is it a bad speed on Kangaroo, i can't find a post where a number is given, what's good and what's bad.
This is only with 7 ncore in use no GPU. CPU use 58%.
If somebody has range of good bad, would be fine.

Yep i think somebody has the controll over the Puzzle, not all existing Bitcoin PK maybe i wrote this wrong.
I would never cause a chain reaction on anything, sharing is caring, but when somebody got the luck, to find a OLD COIN, even on the grasfield with a metal detector, or on the webfield with a PK detector, i think it's the same, take it be happy. ( Don't tell me you would let a OLD COIN in the Grass, if you find one, same for BTC, you let it in a weak wallet on a weak address, plz don't cry if somebody find it ! )
And if you ask me why, "if you care about your OLD COINS, you will hold em in the best and securest possible way ( cold wallet, transfer to segwit ... ),why because it's your darling
Alright, I remember watching a documentary about some tribes in Africa, 2 or 3 men with nothing but wooden sticks track down lions when they hunt and after scaring the lions, they would take the hunt and go back to the village, I call them the real men with some balls. 😂I would never cause a chain reaction on anything, sharing is caring, but when somebody got the luck, to find a OLD COIN, even on the grasfield with a metal detector, or on the webfield with a PK detector, i think it's the same, take it be happy. ( Don't tell me you would let a OLD COIN in the Grass, if you find one, same for BTC, you let it in a weak wallet on a weak address, plz don't cry if somebody find it ! )

Sure you can find any puzzle key and grab the coins, but remember any other key if touched, the fire breathing dragon will wake up, then no amount of balls could save you from that dragon.😉, I'm using analogy to convey the message.
Btw, sending to segwit addresses does not add to the security of your coins.

but if you don't care about it .... sorry !!
And why be scared or live in fear if you find some, nobody wanna be the most hated and hunted, nobody need furniture from the last tree, in a small village in Africa, that has be the only shadow giver there.
Only to have something what nobody else has.
Remember the Reused R Value and some good Samaritan here, be normal to gain respect, stay on the ground and remember what could be if .... And your life will be great !

Even if there is something to hunt, it should be the puzzle keys alone, they are the ones we can grab for our own, anything else is for people, taking them equals to either prison or flying with some angry angel towards hell. 😅
Now even if you find a way to access any key you want, why would you cause a chain reaction of distrust and crash the whole market? You just take a few puzzles and live without any fear, but if you lose control to your greed, that's when lions find you alone in a dark place, and believe me, nobody wants to find out what happens after that.😉

Hyenas are the smiling animals ( Many hyenas make the king lion sweat ) , i mean puzzle 75 my fault.
Look at puzzle 74 nothing happend long time, no pubkey was known, and then a txid was made at 4 am, and at 23 pm it was cleand. Happend often when you look at it.
Well puzzle 74 was never cleaned, but I know what you mean, you want to for example watch the blockchain if puzzle 66 moves, you can grab the public key then use kangaroo to quickly find it's key and double spend it with a higher fee, like the way of hyenas. Well, I guess these woods need all sorts of animals you know? 😉🤣
What I don't understand, is trying to use an API to get millions of keys from blockchain, why so many? You just need a few.
No i think it will maybe happens, that the creator ( funny like the movie ) of the puzzle one day think, damn i should give them a bit hope and make a txid so the pubkey can be anallyzed , because it's getting boring for all when long time nothing happens. Same for some other addresses.
And i see it as a treasure hunt, all the over 10 Years old addresses, that have never be used ( lost pk, owner died, like i write in a post, i lost pk also ), free for hunt, maybe some see it ethnical different, but when people walk with the detector in the forest and search for things, nobody care if they found a bag of gold, or a old " COIN ". My detector is my PC ! And thoose who care about their " OLD COINS ", will move them to a safer address.

And sharing is caring i know, when i got to this level i will share what i found ( don't want to be the dumb newbie from start wit " i got this and that " ).
You can find the scripts here. You should share whatever you have here publicly, it's Ok to look like a noob, I'm also a noob myself running around asking stupid questions, but you never know, one of these questions or ideas could lead to a breakthrough. Let me give you a hint, you won't learn new things if you don't share what you know, just try it, share your knowledge and you will see how fast you learn new stuff.
God never lies when he says if you donate, I will give you more than double in this life and thousands of times more in the afterlife.
When you think about it, he gives us knowledge and money, then asks us to share it just to get more. What a nice God.😉
The clue is to run it over a API and get no blocking from it, when you ask for thousends or millions of txids for example. It will run with a GUI, and you can let it work in the background, so if one of the adr. is in future doing a txid, you will get a update on it in a seperate file.
Main goal is to be first, if puzzle adr. maybe do a txid in future, and you can snap the pubkey from it first.
Hope you understand what i mean.

Hmm, is there a python script to get the public key from a Transaction.
I don't know about any scripts but you can simply use this site to convert an address to public key and vice versa, though it only does that if the address exist on blockchain, meaning it has been used, otherwise it'd take breaking 2 hash functions to reverse an address back to public key.May I ask why do you need that? All exposed public keys of this puzzle already are on page 1, there is no need to have such a script.
Also may I interest you in a few mind boggling , reality bending ultimate hack scripts developed by myself?😉
THX for your answer, i try some out of the box research, i think i fall in the BTC rabbit hole in my old days
, so it's my nature to go on and on. At the moment i try something different then all here in, if it works fine, if not, like i allways say " It's only a PC that is running, some burn energy of PC for Gaming, we burn the Energy for education !" Shure i am open for all kind of stuff, pm or dm or xm or gm ... me

Currently running a 3060ti and getting about 1500kh/s
Looking to add a 4060ti 16 gig or 4070ti 12 gig
I am torn between the two, the 4070 is faster but less ram and only 50$ more. Does anyone have a approximate speed with these running Bitcrack or others?
Also may be used for mining here and there.

So no, if you find any keys with funds, unless it's a puzzle key, you should not touch them because they're not yours, so hands off the merch.😉
Yes, you urgently need to give these keys to me and continue to live in poverty, mama's son 
Also it is considered a sin if we keep thinking about the wealth of others and say why God has given them so much and then try to take it from them, instead we should ask God to give us our own wealth from his own generosity.
Think about it, there is enough gold inside the earth to coat the surface of earth with pure gold, and this is only earth.
When a star explodes, several billion tons of gold is created in a nanosecond, so with this much abundance why do we have poverty?
If all the people were rich, who would farm, manufacture and work? Not you certainly.🙂
