Title: generating private keys randomly Post by: nisha.mehta on May 21, 2016, 08:25:14 PM Hello everybody.
What is the possibility of someone using a website like: http://offlinebitcoins.com/ to find a private key of a wallet that contains money randomly. I mean websites like these allow you to generate random private keys in one click. What if someone who have super computer could automate this process until he finds a wallet that contains money. Wouldn't that affect bitcoin wallets safety? I am just asking if that is possible.

You would need to exhaust the entire 256 bit key space to find wallets, all the energy of a single star couldn't even COUNT through the entire 256 bit keyspace. We are safe.

Someone that is extremely lucky does not change the security of a robust system.

The time to try every possible combination is longer than the life of sun of our galaxy. |
