Question, Is it possible to get a private key of other btc address holding huge btc by using the program searching the btc public address?
Here's an analogy, or straight comparison to lottery rather:
- The chance that you'll hit a jackpot of a 6-digit 42-balls lottery is 1 out of 42^6
= 1 out of 5,489,031,744 - The chance that Vanitysearch/gen will hit the private key of your target address is 1 out of 2^256 (minus one Duodecillion approx)
= 1 out of 115,792,089,237,316,195,423,570,985,008,687,907,852,837,564,279,074,904,382,605,163,141,518,161,494,336
Even though a lottery only takes place 1-7 times a week while tools like this can search millions of keys per second,
the difference is still a lot compared to your chances of hitting a jackpot, just look at the numbers.
I used the private key instead of the address for the "
chance formula" because you can't search for the address private key without generating a random/sequence of private key first.
Here's a real-world example:
With a speed of 9.12 million keys per second, I'll be able to "
hack" the funds of address

That's equivalent to 3,524,250,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years
