Hello I have to receive important funds on my address that I had generated randomly but impossible to get my private key. Would there be a way to find her?
1ZYCAZDis1rAZpgttUh3ViQcpJokraH3F

 :( no luck address are generated randomly.

Probably best if you can provide more information about this "randomly generated" address like:

• From where or what kind wallet is it from.
• What method did you used to make it.

By looking at blockexplorers, it seemed like that your address 1ZYCAZDis1rAZpgttUh3ViQcpJokraH3F (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1ZYCAZDis1rAZpgttUh3ViQcpJokraH3F) have been used already a few times since 2017.

Luckily, there's no incoming funds to that address as of now.
Just create a new wallet and inform your transaction/deal partner to change your address right away!

I must receive 2 BTC on this address but the person is unreachable and the address was created online

The address has been used before, BTC have been sent to and from that address, what happened with your private key?

Also, what is your connection to the user Unlimitedcoindev? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1003425
Unlimitedcoindev was tagged by Lauda as a scammer back in 2017.

That address of yours was posted here by that mentioned user.

If the address was created by yourself, you should have the private key, the seed or the account where this address was created. The FACT that money was sent out from that address shows that.
If the address was not created by you then the person creating it has the private key (and has the permission to spend that money) and there may be a scam here. And you may be the one scammed.

Why did you have to receive it here? Did someone tell you to? How did the address created in the first place?
I think it's better if you download Electrum, run it offline and then make your own Bitcoin address. If someone somehow suggests that this address was yours and you need to give it when you receive some payment, it's strongly possible that you'll get scammed.

As other members have pointed out, this address has been used before and it means someone else other than you have the private key. Or, you're an alt of the previous owner. I'll assume this is not the case, so I suggest you learn or read a little bit about Bitcoin wallet address and how we can generate it, for example from this article.[1] I kinda get the feeling that someone doesn't give you enough information about Bitcoin address in general and use that to scam you. Sorry if I'm wrong though.

I think you're lying. You're probably lying because you know nothing at all about Bitcoins, or having too much free time. Either way, if you had any chance of finding the private keys of a given and random address, Bitcoin's value would be close to zero.

No, you cannot obtain a private key from a public key. That's the whole point...

On a side note, for someone who claimed to have co-authored a paper with Ricardo Perez-Marco[1], it's pretty weird that you don't know about Bitcoin address and the possibility to brute force a private key.

Did you finally manage to triple spend your Bitcoin or get people to test triple spending (to which address they need to send btw)?

Can you explain to us where you exactly found/created this address online? Looks like you just saw it from somewhere and thought it is your bitcoin address. Sadly that is not how it is, you should create your very own address that you can address the private key

If it's 'impossible to get your private key', then is impossible to get those BTC. The only chance is if you had imported that addy to a wallet before, that way you should try to login in that wallet, and you will have access to those BTC. Other way they are gone.

If you could write
1) What software did you generate the address with
2) How did you ask for funds to be transferred (Mail, exchange, chat)
3) When did this occur in time?

Then its easier to track and help you
