Title: Genesiscoinbase.hex key is exposed, then all coins in that coin can be theft?
Post by: wsxdrfv on May 28, 2018, 05:37:50 AM
So for clone other coin, there is key value, and with this script, Genesiscoinbase.hex, it is input.
Right? Then if this key is exposed, then all coin of that coin can be theft?

I guess no. Genesiscoinbase.hex is used to create genesis coinbase transaction. This is one time use only keys. Later you can discard it and will not be used again.
Even if gets exposed it will useful for nothing...
