HERE WE ASK AAAAAGAIN:
1. Prove you have the privkey.
2. Prove it is not yours.
1. Prove you have the privkey.
2. Prove it is not yours.
Proving one has the privkey to a 80k BTC address discards the need for any further proof down the line.
The laws of physics don't apply anymore etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_Cvtr86H5g
And your notorious requirement of negative proof... almost looks like you beg for upgrading your title from mascot to jester.

Speaking of physics, finding a collision is similar to quantum particles, only the observer really knows, lol.
Speaking of privkeys, finding a privkey is different to finding a collision, lol.
Yes, but finding a privkey to an existing address with funds on it are proof of a collision.
NO!
It just proves you've "found" the privkey for that bitcoin address. To find a collision you have to find TWO privkeys to the same bitcoin address!
Ugh, my God, you want a collision in EC.
Ugh, yeah! I told ya from the very beginning.The name of this "project" is misleading!
"Large Bitcoin Private Key Finder"
It can serve both purposes!
And that doesn't sound nearly as cool.
Of course. I can understand this. A pool of "thieves" doesn't sound nearly as cool as pool of "researchers".
Or you just pretend to be the Bitcoin Black Swan? lol
Now now, you can't call anyone a thief if they haven't stolen anything, right?
I think the best way to go about proving a collision in EC and not stealing from someone would be to set it up so if the original owner of the address provides a PK that is different to the one that LBC found then it does two things:
1. Proves that LBC found a collision.
2. Gives LBC the ability to give the user their funds back.
It would be hard to prove that they were the original owner using the same PK because the PK being found by LBC would be public knowledge. Since, as Rico explained, it would be easier to find a collision than the same PK.
IF (Original PK != LBC PK)
{
returnFunds = true;
collisionFound = true;
}
ELSE
{
returnFunds = false;
collisionFound = false;
}
I am not about stealing people's Bitcoins but I am definitely interested in recirculating "dead" or "lost" Bitcoins, 1FeexV6 for example.
Then of course a huge party would get thrown and I would probably be found lifeless with a huge smile on my face, haha.

That's nice.
