I had calculated 2628a3ad7d90cd20f to 2728ad7d90cd20f. I had sitting in a bat file created and last ran 5/13/2024.
Same here, I had a script that scanned ranges at given intervals, here is part of that script:
run_command "./vanitysearch -t 0 -gpu -gpuId 0,1,2,3 -o 283prefixes.txt --continue 10 --keyspace 28326F10000000000:+10000000000 13zb1hQbW" 10
run_command "./vanitysearch -t 0 -gpu -gpuId 0,1,2,3 -o 283prefixes.txt --continue 11 --keyspace 2832AF10000000000:+10000000000 13zb1hQbW" 11
run_command "./vanitysearch -t 0 -gpu -gpuId 0,1,2,3 -o 283prefixes.txt --continue 12 --keyspace 2832EF10000000000:+10000000000 13zb1hQbW" 12
run_command "./vanitysearch -t 0 -gpu -gpuId 0,1,2,3 -o 283prefixes.txt --continue 13 --keyspace 28332F10000000000:+10000000000 13zb1hQbW" 13
I finished this script run on Sept. 8. So I just skipped over 66's range... no good luck there. I also spent a decent chunk of money, and decided to stop throwing good money after bad. I'll just be an observer rather than a participant for the rest of the puzzles. Good luck to people out there still searching. Although you'd probably be better off investing your money rather than gambling it on the puzzles. As the saying goes, Only spend what you're willing to lose!
I will have to speak with you, that looks like a modified version and I can only speculate you fell upon the growth factor of 18 to 20. Since the puzzle is already solved and the factor only helps find #66 I don't mind sharing the math behind my similar conclusion. I can not upload the image\screenshot of the conversation with my custom, privately hosted model. I can share the text within a small section of it.
So let me disclose this first and foremost. I have a custom model trained and fine-tuned by myself for personal research and assistance. This is not any publicly avaliable chat model. I am lazy and use it for rapid calculations and assistance in holding large hex values and decimal values in a memory pool to save on computations and energy load.

2/2
Model said:
To generate #65 * 3 + #64 Puzzle Key, we'll follow these steps:
Take the #65 Puzzle Key: 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001a838b13505b26867

My
I don’t mean to offend anyone—this is just my analysis. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and this is simply mine. I have no intention of offending anyone.
I'm a mathematician. I deal with logic - a part of mathematics.
Formulating the Argument.
Steps for a logical analysis:
Formalize the claims: The main claims can be expressed as premises in logic:
Premise 1: After puzzle 120 was solved, the creator increased the prize money on 2023-04-16 to 1000 BTC (public stunt hypothesis).
Premise 2: Puzzle 125 was removed on 2023-07-09, likely as another stunt (further public manipulation hypothesis).
Premise 3: Puzzle 130 was moved after the solving of puzzle 66, likely to generate more attention.
Premise 4: It is practically impossible to solve puzzle 130 without at least 1000 GPUs, making it improbable for anyone to solve it legitimately.
Logical Conclusion:
Using modus tollens (if P implies Q, and Q is false, then P must be false):
If it is true that solving Puzzle 130 is only possible with extreme computational resources (Premise 4), and no one is known to possess those resources, then no one could have solved it without manipulation.
The formula could look like:
If (someone solves Puzzle 130) -> (they have extreme computational resources).
Not (anyone has extreme computational resources).
Therefore, Not (anyone solved Puzzle 130) -> it may have been manipulated.
This reasoning framework doesn't "prove" the manipulation but shows that, given the constraints, the likelihood of a public stunt increases if the technical requirements are realistically impossible for most individuals.
I believe there are some parties and individuals who possess both above average intelligence and have private means which they used in order to develop some cutting-edge applications of technology not tied to any large corporations. While these are not supercomputers, or quantum circuits in line with mainstream public knowledge.
I can say with positive proof and personal observations of such systems, they are impressive in their capabilities when compared to the average software running in any programming language on the standard operational systems. They are not a quantum computer in any sense, but their computational abilities are staggering.
I also have a B.A. in mathematics with a concentration in computer science. And some other education, I think if people still accept my cereal box diploma.
I deal with logistics, material science and the electronic engineering of emerging technologies.
I am horrible at writing code from scratch, so I tend to modify broken code snippets fixing the one-off errors or faulty logic to build my own software for my needs.
I guess that would make something of a lesser mathematician, perhaps on a good day?
I would humbly like to offer, we are in a time of profound revolution of conventional models of development and production. Anyone with half a brain, determination and some diy skills, can build things to rival billion dollar corporations.
These last two decades of technological advancements, coupled with the vast libraries available via the internet.
Humor me a moment, and fathom, what a being with 130 IQ or higher, insomnia and an unquenchable thirst of knowledge could accomplish?
