What stops people creating the same bitcoin address?

[Amph]

it may be possible in the future(very far away future) if something new emerge from the scienze or universe, for example the dark matter is still unknown, you don't know its interaction with something else

still collisions are far away from being impossible, so who know maybe it could happen one day

That's a silly thing to write. The odds of an address collision are less than the odds of two people selecting the same molecule of water.

still so far away from being impossible, not even funny, it does not matter how hard or how unbelievable low are the odds, if it is not impossible it's possible

i'm not saying that it will happen tomorrow or in 1B years, i'm saying that a really impossible thing will not happen EVER, no matter what tech will be discovered, or how many trillions of years(assuming that the universe can live forever) will pass

you are really silly to think that "the dark matter is still unknown" instead of reading internet's trash, buy some physics books..

not completely unknown, but still there are many thing to discover, and like they have discovered the dark matter they can discover something else

if you think that scientists all around the world are done with physics, and everything is settled, you're utterly wrong

It's silly because every probability is far away from being impossible, and because a collision is so unlikely that it is not worth even considering.

only because we don't live forever(i mean the human genre, not us as a single individual), otherwise at one point there will be a way to make it possible

the real problem is not only collision, but is a right collision with a key that have tons of bitcoin

[forwardded]

nothing stops them it is just nearly impossible to do that

[ontrackk]

bitcoin wouldnt be safe at all if people could create the same adresses easily

[RealBitcoin]

But what is to stop some of those addresses from being the same?

Math, and entropy.

If you have a genuine random number generator, then its nearly impossible to generate the 2 simultaneous addresses.

If you have a flawed random number generator, that generates numbers in patterns, then its possible, but its concerning this way.

When a new address is generated it checks that it has not been used earlier in bitcoin network.

That's not true, but you don't care because you are just posting to increase your post count.

I know everything is not discovered but coming with fud that nobody talks about doesnt mean that people do not know anything about this. This topic is full of trolls, just watch the guy who said that::
