Can I create a Bitcoin address with pen and paper ?

I recently saw a post explaining how a hash can be found with pen and paper.

So, can someone please explain me how can I create a Bitcoin address with pen and paper ?

Well the algorithm is here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_Bitcoin_addresses but then you need the algorithm for the ecdsa signature, the sha256 hash, the ripemd 160 hash etc...

don't bother except if you are a student of cryptography....

When I saw this news, I was scared
then reading the news carefully ,it only tells us what is the principle of bitcoin.
Please don't have too much image about creating Bitcoin with pen and paper,although you can  do it  in principle,but not in fact

I think U did not read my post and have gone by the image. That was the example I gave. Here I'm asking about a similar solution to create Bitcoin Address with Pen & Paper.

No No... it is not mine. I have clearly stated in the OP that I saw it in another post. Please dont confuse...

Wow, why would you ever not need to create a BitCoin address?

That image shows that you have a lot of time on your hands, I'd get a job if I was you

Why do you want to create a BTC with a pen?

If u understood that how much this pen & paper post could have bring in for the author, then u would not have wrote it. Job is in your fate. GooD Luck

I am so tired of seeing that stupid blog with headlines like "mining Bitcoin with pen and paper". He only calculated four bytes of one round of SHA256 by hand. An Ivy Bridge CPU can do full SHA256 stream at 13 cycles/byte. It is not even related to Bitcoin except that it makes for a trendy headline.

More PR for bitcoin maybe?

[Connor936]

Technically it is possible however is not advised to do so. In order to calculate (create) a bitcoin address you will first need to think of (generate) a very large random number (people are very bad at being random so your number will likely not be random). From there you will need to convert it to (I believe) Hex 16 format, this is your private key. From there you will need to apply a very complex equation to get your public address. This is where the greatest danger likely lies, as you have the potential to make a mistake and if you do there is a good chance that you would end up giving someone an address that you do not control the private key to

This seems pretty cool. A bit complicated, is not so easy to do.

They are doing it just for fun. Why don't you let people have fun?

Its not that he doesn't want to let people have fun or is discouraging their learning. He is offended when people spread false truths about a field in which he has likely spent many seasons becoming adept in , and is therefore very passionate about.

ok  Nice to meet you here!

Why make your life complicated...

For the same reason almost every coder has written code in assembler.. to understand the basics.
