Topic: generating private keys randomly (Read 459 times)
[size= 15pt]Hello everybody.
What is the possibility of someone using a website like: http://offlinebitcoins.com/ to find a private key of a wallet that contains money randomly.
I mean websites like these allow you to generate random private keys in one click. What if someone who have super computer could automate this process until he finds a wallet that contains money. Wouldn't that affect bitcoin wallets safety?
I am just asking if that is possible.

No, if it should ever happen - it wont - it would be a freak event like 6 lottery wins by the same person in a row. Someone that is extremely lucky does not change the security of a robust system.

The luck would be unfathomable. You would need to exhaust the entire 256 bit key space to find wallets, all the energy of a single star couldn't even COUNT through the entire 256 bit keyspace. We are safe.
