Private key

[Coinraptor]

No mate there is no chance to know about your private key of a bitcoin address. For more security, you need to use a password manager for the best security. In fact, you should not be worried about the private key no one can watch it.

As far as I know, it would take more than 10 years to find a private key to the address, so you can not worry about it. Thus, it is very difficult to crack the address.

no, it is not "difficult to crack" a bitcoin address, it is impossible to do so.

as for 10 years, if you mean going in reverse from address to private key then again it is impossible. it will take until the end of universe to do that not 10 years!

Ok..so you wanna see a private key?

I created this paper wallet last year and loaded it with Bitcoin.

I have exposed the public and private key. The wallet is BIP32 password protected.

You are welcome to have the Bitcoin loaded into it if you can crack it. So far nobody has.  Goodluck

Is not possible to find the private key of bitcoin address, you can only get your own private keys when generate, create a new bitcoin wallet on different apps, bitcoin core, electrum, or others. Also you can't bruteforce a private key because is impossible and will. The videos or story that someone can find any bitcoin private key is a scam and you will get virused if download software they give or they will ask money for it and you will lose money.

Hi ! I would like to know if it is possible to know the private key of a bitcoin address.

Thanks !

Depends what you mean.
You MUST know private key to operate address, to send from it.
You CANT know private key if you didn't create this address (you can't break it).

+1. Also, if you generate a wallet on your computer, NEVER save your private key on your computer or in your password manager. Even in Dropbox. ALWAYS write down your private key on a piece of paper and store it in a safe place.

You're going to write down every private key for every adress you use? Didn't think so.
This isn't practical at all when you're frequently transacting with bitcoin. (As i suspect many here are.) It's an unnecessary hassle ontop of that as well.

Also, what about handwriting/spelling mistakes? A private key is 50+ characters. Misspelling a 5 for an S is easily done..

Absolutely right. My suggest is to use hardware wallet or offline wallet for safety.

it is not possible to know the private key of bitcoin... private key is private, and only made available to the originator of the encrypted content.
