What does it means when I find 60 millions pointers to the same variable???

61,457,019 pointers???

restart the game, or computer, or move the .ptr files to another computer with the same game

Then find the address again, and do a rescan for this new address with the current list
That will remove the wrong paths. (you may still have several million left, but is fine so just pick one you like)
If none are left, restart the whole scan but with a higher level/offsetsize

That is normal yes.

See the pointerscanner as a routeplanner and every pointer as a street with sideways in it that lead to another road (pointer)

There is a finite number of pointers yes, but an infinite number of paths you can get from point A to point B (e.g A -> C -> D -> E -> B)
(and in this case B is any address that is static)

the pointerscan has some limits to prevent the infinite number from being an issue by limiting the number of roads taken to get to point B (max level) and how many sideways it should check out (max offset) and secondary options like no-looping pointers so that it never goes over a road(pointer) it previously walked

Now, when you restart the game a lot of these paths will become invalid, but some of them will stay the same, and those are the ones you're interested in. That is why you need to do a rescan on a new instance of the game, so you filter out the bad ones

(Instead of the work "pointercount" I think "pointer paths" would be a better description. I'll change it)

Don't try finding a pointer for something until you're sure that address actually has an effect on the game and that you have a way to find it.

You could try a rescan and set it to only discard paths that point to non-existant memory
