I tried to be sure and check out before answering:

.
-I think Bitcoin keyspace refers to the possible no. of blocks that could ever be generated till the end of time. (If u know some cryptography before reading about cryptocurrency & the idea of Bitcoin u'll have the impression that mining is similar like performing a brute force attack to break a plain/cipher pair)
.
-If Q2:
According to the way a certain block is arranged (what and how many transactions and how they r ordered) u get like a different cipher/plain pair to solve (I mean a different arrangement of bits to search for a valid Nonce)
.
I answered because there was a time at the beginning of my reading or u may saying exploring this topic I had the idea that old failed trials could be saved & used in mining next blocks, now I know this is not quite accurate because each block is constrained by a different transaction & header parts that u have to find a Nonce value that fits them.

Hi,
I am struggling to find any resources on keyspace and bitcoin addressing. Recently after looking at the puzzle transactions some questions came to mind. https://privatekeys.pw/puzzles/bitcoin-puzzle-tx
Thanks for answering any questions.
I am struggling to find any resources on keyspace and bitcoin addressing. Recently after looking at the puzzle transactions some questions came to mind. https://privatekeys.pw/puzzles/bitcoin-puzzle-tx
- What is keyspace exactly? is this refering to SHA256 keyspace?
- How is it that the puzzle transactions were created in different keyspaces?
- Can you create a bitcoin address in a specific keyspace?
- When bitcoin addresses are made is the keyspace they are in random, or is there a preferable or more pseudorandom range that they are likely to appear in?
Thanks for answering any questions.
