it can take an hour to probably 500,000 or even more years, if ever. it's simply impossible for any one to say how long it will take.

no it does not work in that way, it work with probability, the probability here is so low is not even funny

there are 2^256 private keys, you know how big is this number? that hash will not do it in time before the universe end

read again. i said it can take a day or 500,000 years or longer. that also has to do with the probability of being able to access the wallet within a basically infinite amount of time.

what you failed to understand is that the probability is toward the 500k years(actually many more years) and not on par between those value(day vs 500k)

because saying it can take a day or 500k years it like saying that there are 50% chance of hit the the private key in one day or in 500k years

Well if we exclude your "lucky" from the equation, then we can talk about something near.... infinite?

btw do you have some special interest on that address? Tongue

Let's say, I would have access to all the hasing power of antpool (about 120 PH/s) how long would it take to find the private key associated with 1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPH?

Assuming they use ASICs (everything else would be insane) it would take you

forever

because bitcoin mining ASICs only do double sha256 which is not what you need to brute force an address. Thus you have 0 tries per year.

From thirty seconds if you get lucky to beyond the end of the universe. Maybe somewhere in between too but leaning towards the latter. If it was possible then this forum wouldn't exist any more or anything else crypto related.
