I suppose it can be done if enough people join in this project. Kinda like the SETI project, distributed computing will allow an impossibly difficult problem to be solved by millions of individual systems. If someone can figure out the math, maybe we can estimate how long and how many individual systems it might take to brute force the private key.

No, even then it wouldn't be enough. Please refer to the post about filling the universe with computers and bit having enough computing power.

even though finding the private key is close to impossible
i think there can be a chance of finding it if you are very lucky enough

if the private keys of those addresses are found and the coins stolen, i think it would be end of bitcoin, because no one ever will trust bitcoin ever. if a popular address like satoshie's can be hacked all addresses would be in danger.
but as far as i know about private keys and bitcoin, it is impossible to do so...

With existing technology you could fill the universe with computers

I'm interested in such a technology.
My point was that even if you filled the universe with existing computers, they would not crack SHA-256. There are only 10^78 atoms, give or take, in the universe. Not enough to build enough computers to crack it in a comprehensible timeframe.

Others being racist doesn't give you the right to be racist too.

If i ask you do you have black friend? is that racism?

No, but if you ask me if I have a “ching chong” friend (the term that you used), that is racist.

Anyway, you dont know racism until you're in China. Go north at the border of Mongolia, racism in America is nothing to what you would see.

Again, the fact that there are racist people in the world does not entitle you to be racist as well. At least try to be a better person.
