Hacking exchanges is cool and all but what if I hacked bitcoin
>inb4 you can't
Bitcoin is just 1s and 0s it can be hacked just like anything else. I'm not sure how much but I'm thinking of putting a small amount of bitcoin on a datastick or paper wallet and then experimenting with hacking it offline away from the Blockchain
Thoughts?
good luck
You're an actual retard.
yup, nobody else has tried in the past 9 years. blue ocean. please let us know about your progress op.
it's not like writing print('hello world, suck my dick') in python. its much much much more difficult.
Absolute state of biz. Just wow.
yup, just hack sha-256 encryption. Just grab a 4 pack of redbull and pound it out over the weekend.
>hey guys, no one has ever thought of hacking bitcoin, let's do it.
You have to 'hack' 51% of the miners to change the 1s and 0s. That's the whole point.
I support you user, remember me when you have gazillions in BTC
its bait you fucking retards
who gives a fuck its 1am here i am bored dont want to sleep.
Oh no did he hack my main frame and ddos the tv?
I want to believe that it isn'tso that I will feel superior to someone else for once.
Geez guys it's just an idea be civil, has anyone actually tried it yet?
If you can write it on paper you can crack the code Turing style
My thoughts are that you've probably never hacked anything in your life and don't understand how Bitcoin works. That or this is a larp.
Drinking water is cool but what if I drank the entire ocean? The ocean is just water and can be drank like anything else.
Water world staring biz
Look up large bitcoin collider. Its a project where you try random private keys, generate private ones from them and check if they have ever been had any transactions in the ledger. They have a pool that keeps notes of all addresses that have been checked by now so 2 people dont try same address
You dont communicate with pool if you find a match, so if you can keep what you find.
I know how fucking impossible it is to find a private key of an address that contains btc, but there has been A LOT of known reported coallisions in past (and god knows how many unreported)
Interesting thing about this is, it is a 1 in a zillion chance you would ever come close to finding a collision, but finding one doesn't guarantee that the collision you found would actually have a significant amount of money in it.
Correct. The total amount in the reported collision was something like
I think rather than finding a collision, you would have more luck trying to find a mathematical solution to P=NP, and using that proof to break the cryptographic hardness of the fundamental problem lol.
