Well... you can try to bruteforce wallet if you have enought time...


 
enought time = a few thousand years Cheesy Cheesy

I Really want to build a super GPU computer consisting of over 30 High end GPU's and take everyones BTC. Smiley

LOL that is obvious, look at your trust rating!
Not even close to being a scammer, A scammer buster, I had to give negative to warn the community and I got negative back, Read before talking buddy Wink

Well, the "laws of the universe" know time dilletation right?
You could cause a computer, which is accellerated to near light speed, to bruteforce for 100.000.000.000 years (your picture states that power consumption is negligable)  while here on earth only a few seconds pass by. This is Einstein's "laws of the universe".  Grin

Unfortunately "Einstein's laws of the universe" work precisely the other way round. Bump something up to near lightspeed for however long you like, then bring it back, it'll only have run SLOWER than if you'd left it on Earth.

I'm glad I read to the end of the thread before pointing this out too.  ;-)

I imagine in this thread I know the least about the technical aspects of cryptocurrencies and this may be a bit off topic, but when bitcoins reached $1,200 I was curious to know how secure they were, so I gave my kid a task. He had 2 hours to see how many bitcoin addresses he could generate while checking each one for a positive balance. He found 3 accounts that contained many many bitcoins, I was so tempted to take them, that I had to delete his internet history.

Yeah ok... Do you know how bitcoin addresses are even generated? Most applications have very unique entropy, so just by generating addresses you probably wouldn't get any hits. What was he using for the entropy source?

He typed long strings of random characters to generate each address.

El oh El. Troll.

I am not trolling

After seeing that, I assume it is very easy to generate addresses that contain coins and that you guys have to be aware of it. I forgot to mention he also found a few accounts that previously had coins too. But like I said, I am not trolling, just sharing my experience with the community.

I can crack any crypto wallet in seconds, problem is I can not afford a quantum computer.

In all seriousness, can you imagine one of these bad boys hashing?

http://www.dwavesys.com/en/products-services.html

Quantum computing has arrived, thanks to Canadian ingenuity with funding from the CIA and Jeff Bezos.

Maybe we should start a group funding thread for one:)

Also what happens when someone (government or corporation with deep pockets) turns one of these loose on encrypted 'anything'

I think someone proved that quantum computing doesn't help much in this scenerio.

Maybe, maybe not. But I want one to hash with Smiley

I don't think you understand the concept of "...they strongly imply that brute-force attacks against 256-bit keys will be infeasable until computers are built from something other than matter and occupy something other than space."

Well, the "laws of the universe" know time dilletation right?
You could cause a computer, which is accellerated to near light speed, to bruteforce for 100.000.000.000 years (your picture states that power consumption is negligable)  while here on earth only a few seconds pass by. This is Einstein's "laws of the universe".  Grin

You'd have to do the math but even if 100 billion years pass in a few seconds how many seconds would it take to count to 2^256. Probably a incomprehensible amount of seconds.
Well, bruteforcing one address in 100 billion years might be possible, in fact you may even be able to bruteforce a few more than that.

Might want to rethink that...

and

3155760000000000000ish seconds in 100000000000 years. I'll let you figure up the rest of the math.
