Topic: possible bitcoin addresses (Read 2128 times)
There are about as many possible bitcoin addresses as there are atoms in the earth.
The full answer: 2^160; they are randomly generated; they are all shared by everyone, but 2^160 is an enormous number and everyone can use as many as they like with no concerns about running out or accidentally generating a duplicate address.
Er, no I didn't.
Thanks!
How many possible bitcoin addresses are there? Since I don't know the math that takes place, how are they calculated? If it's by each client, how many possible per person?
