    Randomly changing 7 bits in 19 bits for a 20-bit private key is more efficient than randomly generating 19 bits. However, it is less certain because it only works if one of the mutations is the target key.

    “Doing less work is faster” - no joke.
    You do a fraction of the work and get a fraction of the odds. Same as when you brute a range.

    Be careful... you're on your way to be called a Digaran. A dream crusher. Perhaps influenced by bad ChatGPT answers. No one even cares that you solved 67. It's all about mutating bits nowadays, though it's basically the same thing (if not worse) as picking random keys and hashing them, which is like... the worst plan one can ever have.

    I think everyone forgot the basics, as stated by the Creator himself: that the puzzles are a crude measurement instrument for the cracking strength of the community.

    Not a voodoo witch hunt, taking out water from the ocean using a teaspoon. Oh, and the ocean is the size of Jupiter, while the spoon is the size of a bacteria.

    No one talks about maybe creating a good distributed computing system, which is all that the puzzles are about for some time now. Perhaps because that kind of challenge is not for them at all.

    What the hell is "voodoo witch hunt" ?!  Roll Eyes
