Tutorial: How to hack Bitcoin addresses on the blockchain ~ Complete version (fictional)

[NyeFe]

The truth is Bitcoin could be hacked!

There are 1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,976 (Quattuordecillion) +- possible key pairs.


How it works

Method 1

STEP 1:
You cover all eight planets in our solar system with storage devices which can store yottabytes of data.

STEP 2:
You find another eight planets in other solar systems and cover them with billions of supercomputers

STEP 3:
You generate every bitcoin key pair then store each of them in the storage devices, on the surface of those planets.

STEP 4:
You use the supercomputers and loop through the data

STEP 5:
Collect your reward


Estimated time of complition for one key: 256^256* years


Method 2

STEP 1:
Visit http://directory.io (thanks to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=105076)

STEP 2:
Flick through each page until you find your key pair

STEP 3:
Collect your reward


Estimated time of complition for one key: Dude I can't even tell you that. Maybe you should try it?

Yea but you have to consider the light speed, so even if you somehow manage that with that, it would not take 0.32 miliseconds to travel information on earh from 1 place to another

But rather atleast 1000 years of lightspeed to comunicate with that server.

You need to find a solar system with 10-20 planets to do that, and then travel back to earth and break 1 private key.

I think the trip costs more than bitcoin is worth atm.

With that technology i would just mine diamonds on the asteroid belt near saturn, it would be more profitable

I'm just going to leave this here:


I guess the problem is that the people who are actively working against Bitcoin (e.g. spreading FUD) are spreading wrong information (such as Bitcoin being hacked).
This is how quite a % of people adapt wrong knowledge. We should be actively working to educate people.

Or, just conduct a social engineering attack. If such could work in bringing down this forum, I'm sure there's people with WAY LESS tech skills willing to fall for such a ruse and hand over their keys.

You just made me laugh , I really thought why would someone try to post about hacking a bitcoin stuff on the forum of bitcoin itself . No doubt these keys had made blockchain slowdown recently .
