 I will try to keep an update list with the current unsolved puzzles or challenges. Challenges In January 15, 2015 a especial transaction was made in the bitcoin network, that transactions was  exactly 32.9 Bitcoin send to 256 address, tx hash  08389f34c98c606322740c0be6a7125d9860bb8d5cb182c02f98461e5fa6cd15 Those 256 were one address in each bit range. But in the year 2017 the author move all the founds from address above the 161 bit space up to the 256 bit space to the lower puzzles.

I will try to make an exhaustive list but just addresses with technical information, just to know why those addresses are may be "un-spendable". But remember every bitcoin address have in theory 2^96 private keys,  this mean that exist almost (79228162514264337593543950336 private keys for every bitcoin address) . Total of burned bitcoin in this list 3373.04576273 BTC Address: 15wJjXvfQzo3SXqoWGbWZmNYND1Si4siqV  Balance: 0.00664516 BTC Reason: This address may be un-spendable because is the result of address_from...
