do you really think that math improbability is enough to pro

do you really think that math improbability is enough to protect million of wallets?

Really, what's preventing a bot from just brute forcing all the possible private keys till it finds something to loot?
>>
>>2909708
Time.

>>2909720
People always use the time argument by highlighting how absurdly long it would take to crack all wallets, and how absurdly much energy would be required.

But that's just the thing, you don't need to crack ALL wallet combinations. You only need ONE.

hahhahahahhaahahahahahahhahah
t. brainlet

look up the actual numbers, every single computer on earth today could begin brute forcing all possible keys and continue to do so for the next 100 years

and it would still be more likely that we die from an asteroid impact than finding a single wallet.

Because the time argument is why the bitcoin has a market cap of 44 billions. You're safer under a sha256 than your bank. Trust me, my bank take 1/3 of what i had in it because it was failing.

>>2909708
What a fucking idiot you are.
>>
>>2909708
Good idea, you should do it and post results.
>>
>>2909691
How do you think your bank account is protected? The same cryptographic principles, if you could brute force bitcoin, you can also brute force normal banking systems

Even if you had 1B computers that can compute 1B private keys per second, it would still take such a long time that I couldn't find a unit converter capable of converting that into a better timescale e.g. N years.

not all types of mathematical improbabilities are equal even if they are both 1 to 2 odds.

>>2909730
Dude, why bother with crypto? Just go and win the lottery. You only have to guess the numbers right once.
