Well and how he from a transaction the public key received? sent a bit bitcoin to the address? What prevents him from doing the same thing with 56? I gave him an approximate search space.

The key is from no 36054468590243300 to 71207575465730500

Can someone discuss with me? pm

Also, there are no known collisions for both SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160 hash functions. Not a single one.

No, you will not find 50.000 BTC wallet by searching for the solution of this puzzle, I guarantee you that.

Sooo wrong  There is no direct relation between 32BTC puzzle and "real wallets". While searching for modest .5BTC puzzle you can discover 50.000BTC wallet due to collision.

That's what anonymous author of the puzzle is telling us, and he backed his claim with all these BTC. If he is wrong, someone would pick the money from this puzzle.

After 4 years (maybe even earlier) when the reward for bitcoin dropped Instead of mining bitcoin will go in search (something similar LBC with Chinese capacities) of lost millions of bitcoins then this puzzle will not last long. However a clever mathematician with a calculator would have found a way to puzzle now not necessarily accurate mathematics but all sorts of paradox.

If we can not think of anything other than scans of addresses, then it's like diving into the lake and farting there to stun and catch fish. To find 56 by scanning you need 100 1080ti cards and it will take a month or more. For the next step you need already 200 1080ti with the same time either increase the search time.

All the private keys for each range were created by generating a 256 bit secure random number and then masking the result down to the desired key length.

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.

Maybe somehow the word (passphrase) tear out of the private key. Or there only one way, you can select 64 characters hexadecimal system and this will be a private key, you can get the same address through the word but through the address we can not see this word. As the author of a puzzle in general he scattered keys in space If he did not select the address manually. Or he has a hardware wallet (deterministic). How can we repeat the principle of his puzzle just like that scattered at the same addresses. Or was it an isolated case in the history of the universe? 

The selection of key is totally random within the range with all values equally likely.

Not exactly. He just mentioned that values are random. But randomness can be very different.
If you look at the table with keys 1-55 you'll see that keys tend to sit in second part of range.

The person who created the puzzle has already posted exactly how he did it.
