A puzzle solver that's also a crypto expert ("knowing how encryption algorithm works") is definitely gonna break the next puzzle! Especially given that he's been in BOTH the IT and "technology" areas for a lifetime! That makes me wonder what the hell "IT" stands for. Maybe he played in the movie, who knows.

In other news, calling someone idiot every couple of posts (as his posts history shows) isn't exactly calling for respect, does it?

Still waiting for those apologies, bib, and then I can safely ignore you (e.g. bring back the respect you're asking for up, from minus infinity to none).

Im on the fence as to how the puzzles were created  because on one " consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet" doesnt necessarily mean bip32, 39, 44, etc. Deterministic by definition can be any algorithem one devises that returns predicted and repeatably the same values. Its just me thinking outside the box, but its not an impossibility. I was also interested in how he represented his name .I mean there may be meaning in the double a, the underscore, and charachter length perhaps metaphorically to sort of programmer math as a hint. IM not anywhere near programmer but I know enough to know that this name may be a "saatoshi_rising" mataphor for "double_float" IEEE 754 precision.
 In addition, for those like me who spend countless hours in blockchain explorers, surely you have noticed that some puzzles  have tons of activity in their associated testnet addresses. In examining ( ISO 8601 encoded )timestamps, fees per byte, inputs, outputs and block hashes, a larger picture showing very obvious clues to its private key becomes obvious.  Now, weather or not this is intentionally done to help those who are clever enough to put it together correctly achieve the prize is unclear. Perhaps its a personal way to keep track for hiumself if he loses the keys. But whatever the reason, something is definately going on there that no one is talking about and that I am bringing light to.  Ive been on this damned thing for 2 years and I just feel like he reveals the first half of the key in blockchain data, and that the second half is meant to bruted. This way is more fair because it is makes oit more feasible to actually solve higher addresses while still remaining difficult enough so that one person cant take everything and leave everyone else pissed/ depressed or whatever.  We have a common interest here, and I for one would like to see it resolved so all everyone who tries hard enough can walk away with a part of the prize.
