Solver — #102
IdleJump to a random point in the range, sweep a block of keys, jump again. Best when many people search the same puzzle.
Each thread is one Web Worker on one core. Leaving a core free keeps the page responsive.
Walk the range in order from your start key up to the end of the range, splitting that region evenly across threads. Keys below the start key are not searched. Best when you are coordinating a systematic sweep.

The arithmetic
The range for puzzle #102 contains 2.53 × 1030 private keys. A modern eight-core laptop running this solver checks on the order of four million keys per second, so an exhaustive sweep would take about 2.00 × 1016 years. Searching randomly instead of in order does not change that expectation — it only changes which unlucky order you fail in.
