1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Is it possible to brute force bitcoin address creation in order to steal money? on: June 13, 2018, 01:04:01 PM
Bitcoin users frequently generate new addresses for each transaction they make, which greatly increases the number of bitcoin addresses being used to receive money.

Would it be possible (and profitable) for someone to find collisions in the bitcoin address space in order to steal money?
