Title: Bitcoin wallet address Post by: sumangs on August 12, 2017, 08:30:34 AM I wonder why our bitcoin wallet addresses are composed of random letters and number. Can someone explain why it is random. Thanks for your incoming replies.

For example, "1Lae7v5bfzVe22wYaE5D2wqtSS2P9HG3Cv" can be converted from base58 to base10, and the result is: 5,266,334,934,126,293,321,713,676,914,678,034,984,531,560,362,408,820,016,723 |
