But you have just revealed your plan and most of the bitcoin community can decrypt your key if they find it Wink

If you copied an address and private key onto a document but randomly changed 1 character in the address and 1 different random character in the private key.

How hard do you think it would it be to crack?

Thanks

extremely gross overestimate 256*256 = 65536 combinations to try -> less then a second on a average computer
