1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Are BTC Private Keys evenly distributed in 256bit space? on: November 13, 2019, 01:52:45 PM
If we assume that there are ~296 private keys for EACH bitcoin address (2256-160) and we assume that  in cryptography it is considered good property of every hash function if it evenly distributes the values in its co-domain (co-domain of the SHA256 function is the domain of the RIPEMD160).

Does that means that HALF of the ~296 private keys is in first 2159 and other HALF is in 2160 - 2256 space?
