Title: Why r is reused and short ?
Post by: mristerduje on March 10, 2021, 05:30:29 PM
Hi i figure out that when you make a r-scan of some addresses it comes out like this

In Input NR: 2[global increment]

Resued R-Value:

In Input NR: 3[global increment]

Resued R-Value:

empty r value

or like this

Resued R-Value:
883afb923aa9b27e98e7433d406fff17cd56
In Input NR: 75[global increment] 160014d23a0b48af87476bc3aea2b229b70f18743cf81b

short r value

what does this mean, both are my addresses and start with a 1....

i read about it test it and boom ... makes me a bit nervous.

What are you using to do this "r-scan" it may not even be correct.

This is 18 bytes and chances of you actually producing this at random, even with a weak random, is extremely small.
If you post the address on the blockchain that you think has this R it would be easier to figure out what this is.

The hex you posted seems like a P2WPKH script not R value, and it corresponds to an unused SegWit address (bc1q6gaqkj90sarkhsaw52ezndc0rp6re7qm7uhr54) which increases my doubt about you using a broken tool that supposedly scans for R values.

First, please share the tool you used for this output. I am not sure what Input NR: 2[global increment] means and from the looks of it it looks like program output.

Millions of other addresses also start with a 1 but have completely different r values for their signatures, it's nothing to be worried about. But what do you mean by "both are my addresses"? Where is the other address?  ???

Sry was sick some days, i figure out this was not the real r value so its ok. THX for helping

R-Scan is fake util !!!
