So I was thinking, puzzle keys are not sequentially generated and masked with 0s, what if for example, for a range which is supposed to start with 1like 0x10000:0xfffff , the key generated randomly had 0x2 or 0x3 at 5th character from the right? Then Satoshi would have needed to use another key.
Example:
ae65342fff1ec7f98cade1a14fe45d0ec1778a5102b9d56cbbaa8c67f6466fda
Note, the 6 in bold, since I need my key to start with 1, I can't mask this key with leading zeros, so I would discard it and would use another one.
So don't waste your time by looking for deterministic wallet patterns, or comparing the solved keys with unsolved keys as I said and Satoshi himself said it, there is no pattern, not because we don't want people to solve them, but because we don't want them to waste their time.
What we all should focus on is the puzzles with known public keys, I'd suggest everyone to dive into the vast ocean of public keys, while we all will drown and die eventually, it will be a hell of a swim! Lol.
After seeing ten folding of the pot, I have lost my focus, I can't think throughly because now the competition has more incentive!🤣
This is what the creator did:
1- he generated an hd wallet.

2-the first 8 address the creator write them manually.
3- The following keys were used only in their last digits in hex and the rest were changed to 0.
4- change the first hex of each key using a PATTERN to be below range.
5- put money in the result.

1- the creator used a pattern to start the keys.
2-the creator used a deterministic portfolio (it is another pattern but more complex).
Do you still believe that there is no pattern?
the creator maybe thought the same as you at the time and thought it was 100% random i guess.
Soon I will share more details, how to reduce the range.
