Topic: Question about the secret exponent. Fresh out of can (Read 768 times)

You can check hekacoin, this was the reason the adress just was left as it is now, he wrote a mini Google book something like an tutorial, we counted every second back then.
But before all this mess to happen, the adress was active, but i had hopes he to keep it active or something, but he ditched it also, assume he get better in life so im glad

The public key don't do any help because the adress have no outputs it was simply experimental thing, if it had at least one output should have made things more easier tho

It's not about differing ideas; it's about facts and math. No computer, even one which has the same computing power as every device in the world and is ran for a billion years on unlimited free electricity without any degradation of hardware will find an address collision by random. Advising OP to try is simply a waste of time.

All addresses always exist. They are simply an encoding of a public key, and all public keys already exist. Just because an address has not yet received any transaction does not mean the address cannot exist or be generated by someone. I have hundreds of addresses across multiple cold storage wallets which will sit dormant for years or even decades before I ever decide to use them.

You are saying you mined block 100, just a few days after bitcoin was released? I'm skeptical.

Regardless, the 50 BTC there are a P2PK output, not P2PKH, so you can easily see the public key is:

That doesn't make it any easier for you to brute force the private key, though. If it were in any way possible, those coins would have been stolen at some point in the last 14 years.

Truth is that im really not worthy of anything anymore, done lost it all, in fact i do lost myself not only the past weeks after this devilish loop im in. Honestly i bet yall have watched The ShawShank redemption, the part with the old man who couldn't adapt, i feel like him. Im giving up really, lost all hope, but still im grateful to everyone who tried to help and it is what it is, im aware that noone meaned bad, also i was annoying, i hope u do all have great future, everyone deserves it. Keep it up lads and ladys maybe i assume.  

Adress is 13A1W4jLPP75pzvn2qJ5KyyqG3qPSpb9jM, gave it to haskcoin (very good friend of mine), at least we were friends, haven't heard him in at least4 years, i tried to contact him once, but i guess he moved on with his things and i accept that. I gave him the adress empty so there is noone to blame, neither me or him had this scenario, he wrote a something like a book and im happy for him. If anyone wonder why i desperately wanted to get it back? Because its all i knew i had left and this kept me sane while was imprisoned, also, thats the reason the feds didn't drained the adress.

Trust me i haven't stop for a minute, even tho i do not have anything else than a smartphone, cant gave up and just leave i lost years, now i can't lose more time, just waiting a miracle, even tho for some maybe is lose of time to search your adress in ian coleman for 20+ consecutive days with using Sha256 for a seed xd. It is what it is

Ps.
How can this adress 18Q3nJafVex3Gz8KC5yV4h4tHWjAshgsYW
Receive bch last year send out it same day, and be on the file where mine adress is, around 13 14 yrs ago?

for all we know he can use renewable energy so his electric bill might not matter. it doesn't take top end hardware to generate bitcoin private keys. he could do it on an old linux machine that would otherwise be in a landfill taking up space at least this way it is being put to something of good use ( at least in his own personal view of things maybe ) other people can have their own idea of how futile it is but he doesn't seem to susscribe to those ideas so who are we to tell him not to do something like this. maybe he should. that way he could be working towards something rather than just hoping. then he could update this thread every so often to report on any results or whatnot. i think it would be fascinating. because he doesn't seem like the type of person that would want to give up. action needs to be taken because just sitting around and hoping for something that's 100% guaranteed never going to work.

at some point, you have to put your words into action. 

But this means i have made it on the blockchain, because there is one post in github for historical things happened, on the bitcoin blockchain, mine adress is entitled as "Used only to collect coinbase reward" which is true lol, but i also mined a block 100. Also found something that i never saw before, some etherswells nfts collection, entitled as the first 128 adresses on the block chain.

I can't send more than one message so i will post it here.

I deleted the fail because I read that some people can extract the privkey from the opchecksig?
Saw a post from some dude asking how he can parse a transaction, checked his nickname Amaclin, a scammer long gone i suppose.

Everything in the transcaction, contains, opsigscript, pubkey,  eytc

This is strange at least for me, the fail i have is from the bch reward, back in 2009, i found that some adresses received the reward in 2021-2022, and also sent the same day to other adress, all of them signed with siggscripts, I have signed with pkscript. How is that possible when the fail is from 2009? Some of them never had a bitcoin

There is nothing in a raw transaction which will allow you to calculate a private key (excluding some very rare cases where you have made multiple transactions spending coins from the same address with very flawed software). But since you say your address has only received coins and not spent them, a raw transaction won't even let you figure out your address's public key, let alone anything actually useful to you.

By all means share them if you want, but it's another dead end I'm afraid.

I can send you couple transactions in raw format if this can lead to something, there is big chance that i may have missed something it will be better if someone else also see and someone who had connection with the Internet while the time I was on vacation, not only coins i lost but also many things got changed that i couldn't know. And excuse my written english, im used to type by using slang words, uk thing..

You either have a very interesting imagination or a very bad memory.
Bitcoin didn't exist until 2009.


He had a whitepaper, and he participated in some development discussions with some members of a cryptography discussion group. The software wasn't available before 2009. The blockchain didn't exist before 2009. Bitcoin didn't exist before 2009.

Good luck with that.


Satoshi was never involved with blockchain.com. That's a completely separate company created in 2011 that created their own blockchain explorer and their own web-wallet. Satoshi had already been gone (disappeared) for several months when blockchain.info (eventually renamed to blockchain.com) started.


Yes, there were "faucets" operated by various people throughout 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.  By the end of 2012, almost all faucets had disappeared.

That sounds 100% scam, and no, Satoshi never made such offer.

I can hardly comprehend your sentences, your text is a little foggy as you may understand yourself. I'm sorry that you've lost everything, but you're here trying to recover your money, right? So, you do have something (or had had in the past) which you might have chances to get back.

The questions are two. If you can answer both with a yes or no, you can put an end to this painful story, and move on with your life.

• Do you remember the wallet software you used to generate the funded addresses? If no, then you'll have lots to try out. Even brainwallet-based.
• Do you happen to have the corresponded passphrase / private keys? Or anything that could have a slight relation with that wallet (i.e., a file of some kind)?

If both answers are negative, you can't recover the money. If you don't know to answer both questions, then it's highly unlikely that you'll ever recover the money.

It wasn't a scam, it was in 2008, satoshi had something like query, where he posted updates and his plans i think, im looking for it right now, when i do find it i will update my post, maybe a month or two after/before releasing blockchain.com, i can't remember with full details where he did this queries, it was long ago. And I will find the adress also it somewhere in the archives i believe. But the adress he used was 1ph*** can't remember, or when i write this i think it really could be somekind of faucet,to be tried the peer to peer system, but on other hand, what value btc had to someone try to scam 1 btc

It will never be done. The only thing you will achieve with this is burnt out hardware and an electricity bill.

I'm fairly certain Satoshi never said anything like this. Perhaps you are thinking of someone else, or an early bitcoin faucet? Regardless, any such offer that you see these days is 100% a scam.

So was the address you are trying to recover created from a brain wallet as you said before, or was it created by blockchain.com? I believe they first offered a wallet service in 2012.

If it is a brain wallet, then I'm afraid that if you didn't make any back ups and you can't remember the brain wallet then your coins are irretrievable.

I was so much sleep depraved that i literally just shutted down. About the adress, it is one of my 13 adreeses, i mean i have made couple in the same day because Satoshi wrote that if anyone sents him a coin he will return 50 in exchange, also that he plan to make the blockchain something close to the amazon structure but with the option buy now. I don't know who remember, but he used different adress starting with 1P, i just recall my memories, with this adress i also received the 100th block reward etc. Its really old one, maybe older than the blockchain as we know now. But i checked the archives, and still can be seen, i mean the transcactions and me describing in gihub how people can take their btc forked rewards. I don't know why i stopped used it, probably because it was hard to keep track of all the adresses i had. Overall i had around 3k+ btc in couple, all adresess were drained except the one im trying to recover now,and one more that have dust only in it. I stopped using it after blockchain was renovated, and moved 90% of my coins in the new adresses, so i can keep track more easily, even remember telling my friends that this one adress should be putted in historical crypto museum, because of this. Younger me didn't cared much about it because i couldn't even imagined the things that happened to me, i was mainly focused on the other adresses, because why should i care about lets say 75 coins when i have this much in my other ones. Stupid of me obviously, its obvious why xd. I did had access to it of course back then. The police raided my apartment around 4 in the morning, shouting and demolishing everything that i had in the room where i used to mine and trade and etc... Couple days later before i get moved in my new room where i spend all 6 and something years, my lawyer said that i lost not only all the coins i had but also my freedom. I can't describe how devastated and shattered inside I felt. The things I write now are so off topic, but that's my memories, and i still hurting, not only because im in position where i can lose even the little i have now, like bed and roof, but that there is huge chance i wouldn't be able to regain access to the coins which i was looking down on them back then. I mentioned how i made the passprasses, and also no the passprasse to this one isn't made like the others, i didn't even rewrite it because i had access before everything to happen and i thought I'd never need to. I think i forgot it even then, bcs the fact i can log in and never thought i might be depending on them, i dont even need them all because that is millions now, but back then when first got them was under a dollar, if i remember correctly i didnt had a million even when was arrested, or maybe i had, the government stealed from me, and no wonder why the poorest country in Europe have the largest amount of bitcoins from all countries. I do assume im not the only one who was robbed. For example how come my motherland Bulgaria hold this enormous amount of btc? Simply because they attacked people like me. Sorry that i use this forum to express my feelings, but it do help me to feel slightly better, because things can get only worse for me, and at least this all will remain it the archives of the web, like i did mention the old satoshi adress who was sending coins, and it's funny this thing because only like 10 people sensed him a coin, of course he immediately send back 50+ the amount. It took some time to be received but was a opportunity that will never occur again. Im going to keep on trying everything, also i do not own a laptop, but while i do have a phone will be looking for a way. And will try and listen all the suggestions yall are giving me.

there's probably alot faster ways to generate random private keys/addresses. you just run a loop like this:


just keep your computer running 24/7 while you go do other things. check in on it from time to time. you'll know it's done when it prints the private key.

This is clearly affecting your mental health. As BlackHatCoiner says, step back, get some rest, and approach things with a clear head. What you are trying at the moment is serving no purpose except to stress you out more and dial up your anxiety levels.

Once you've got some rest, then this is what you should focus on. So you think the passphrase for this brain wallet had 90 characters? Or 90 words? What else can you remember about it? Did you just select random words, or did you take words from a book, a movie quote, a song lyric, etc? What about the paper back ups? Did you only make one copy of each? Where did you store them? Any chance of finding them? If you printed the back up rather than write it by hand, could the file still be saved electronically somewhere? This is your only possible route to accessing your coins. All the reverse engineering you are trying on your phone will get you nowhere. Even with the most powerful supercomputer in the world, attempting to reverse engineer a private key is a futile task.

I'm not sure what's "ecds", and why you did all that, but I'm sure you're in total despair right now. Here's what I would do if I were you: stop wasting time doing random things, and focus on explaining in detail what I did at that time with the brainwallet.

I'd also take a nap. You need to understand you can't accomplish anything if you can't think.

You can't think rationally right now. Reverse engineering is not going to help you somehow. Calm down, take a good nap, and come back to this thread later.

Sigh.. You're right once again, i mean yall are right, I do it irrationally, im also trying now the vanity adresess, tried to calculate the ecds, by  single nonce, by wrong nonce, by signature, i mean i tried it all i guess, except the brute force, but mine equipment start and stop with smartphone, runner some old applications from archives in google queries but couldn't run em, because i do not have gpu or cpu, the phone cannot run then its no way, even the vanity adresess at least a laptop, it's like im bruteforcing but one time per 2 minutes, now all i see is vanity adresess, this lack of sleep and constant worrying for sure do have huge impact on me, i haven't took a nap in 4 days, I realise i have to take a break, but this is frightening me because i think i found algorithm in everything im trying, like a heavy gambler, other incoming bills are worrying me, just can't lose time in sleep rn, because i may end up worse if i do lose time, at least i collect information, might try to arrange the key from the adress, in many different ways, also reverse engineering is next, although about the brain wallet, for each walled I made i did a paper list back up by order, wallet 1 had 30 words passprasse, 2 had 60, and go so on paper 3 x90, and this is if not the thirteenth wallet it's the twelve, i think i stopped at 90 characters by lenght, ahhh fml rlly, thats why i never believed in karma, because my thoughts and all are pure, and its true that nice guys finish last s. I still keep hope in me and if ny any chance i manage to get into the account, everyone who bear with my bs on this particular post is receiving minimum 2 coins. Thank you all, even when u known that i stood minimalistic chamce, you never ignored me. Much appreciated.

The BIP39 seed is simply the number generated from PBKDF2 using your seed phrase and any optional passphrase. It is in no way related to the RIPEMD160 of the address you are trying to recover access to. All you are doing by feeding the BIP39 seed box with your RIPEMD160 is essentially generating completely random addresses and hoping for a match. As I've explained above, there is literally no point whatsoever in doing this. It is impossible to find a match with any address, let alone a specific address.

There is absolutely no correlation in the distribution of address prefixes here. You are simply seeing what you want to see.

You can stop driving yourself insane and completely wasting your time by generating random addresses, and instead focus on trying to recreate the brain wallet.

I use search in page thing xd, also if you put the hash260 in the seed place and it do derive much more adresess, starting with same prefix most of the time, also the derivation path and the compression should be adjust too, but trust me if u do spend much time watching adresess, you either start to learn them all or you think you saw it place, its no good job tho, rn im trying with the vanity thing, experimenting just, no idea what else can man try

just out of curiosity, how are you doing that?


it could take even longer than that if he's just checking them one by one using some manual tool like ian coleman  

This changes nothing. You cannot know what an address starts with until you derive it, by which point you have already done all the computationally expensive parts. It doesn't matter if you set up a vanity generator to only search for an address which exactly matches yours. Even with all the computing power in the world, the human race would be extinct before it even came close to finding a match.

Your other coins weren't stolen by someone reverse engineering the private key from the address. This is impossible. They would have been stolen by someone finding a back up, or finding the string you used to generate the brain wallet, or from an insecure brain wallet generator.

Maybe not give up entirely, but I would give up going down the path of blindly generating addresses or trying to reverse engineer my private key from my address. Again, these things are impossible. The only way you will be successful is by either finding a back up of your private key or by remembering the string used to generate the brain wallet in the first place.

I agree with everything you said, but im not checking every adress available, i derive only the ones who are similar to mine idk how many adresses start with 16 or 13 for example, but this somehow tightened the range of adresess, although about the bruteforce, i never attempted it, i know that some coding languages can decrypt the rsa key, but keep in mind that im far from hacker, i have zero knowledge how to run such a script or whatever to be able atleast to derive something that could help me. I know lt isn't so hard to run a sll or javascript the most simple ones, but still. For sure i know the feds have this knowledge and can do it with ease, they did drained all my funds in a day max two, but this is no option. And still i wont leave these coins hanging like thiss, maybe when i get tired and finnaly accept that is no way back i will give up. But how you give from such a thing? If you was on my place would you give up, because i assume you're more in depth with these kind of hacking things, probably everyone here is, i just lost time that i had plans to teach my self, time that i can't return. Its such a paradox

A WIF is just a different way of encoding the private key. You cannot convert from the public key to the private key in any format. All you can do is convert back and forth between the address and the pubkeyhash, but that doesn't help you whatsoever.

The earth will be consumed by the dying sun before you find it. That's not an exaggeration. There are 2¹⁶⁰ possible addresses. Even if you could somehow check a trillion addresses every second without ever stopping, then by the time the earth is consumed by the sun in 5 billion years, you will have checked approximately 0.00000000000000001% of all addresses.

As I said above, the only way you can recover it is by remember the brain wallet. If you have a rough idea as to what it might be, then you might be able to attempt to brute force it, but you'll need something to go on.

Yes i fully understand this, i have converted the pubkey with the prefix, that's why it shows mine adress but, can show the wif. And im not looking for similar to mine adresses, im looking exactly for mine, because its there, somewhere, it just matter of time to find it, even if it take monthss, years, i really don't mind because ones found, the whole game changes, now is lets say worth of 3mil, in the meantime while im looking for it can grow as value, even if its decrease i do not mind, i still do have couple coins, but its not the same when u once had 500x over that u have now. Sadly especially me, im consumer, because i learned my self this way, but i also had less than i have now, so i will get used to it while trying to get to the real treasure kf mine, or i will make this what i have now even more, its just a pity that i know the feeling of having much more than i really needed, but its in human nature to be like this, nothing is impossible, once done can be repeated or if not, it is what it is. 

As BlackHatCoiner has said, it sounds very much like you have simply decoded your address to the pub key hash (or maybe not even got that far since you appear to still have the 0x00 network byte at the start). Can you tell us how many characters you have?

I'm afraid knowing the public key or the pub key hash is useless to you. If either of things made it possible to recover your private key, then bitcoin would be completely insecure and the whole network would have collapsed years ago. Further, finding other addresses similar to yours is equally useless. There is absolutely no correlation between two similar addresses, and their private keys will be just as different as any other two private keys.

The only way you are going to recover your coins is remembering the words/phrase/string you used to create the brain wallet in the first place.

Hypnotised no, but i was and still i am much traumatised im open about it, not only because i lost around 3k btc, but all the stress and the jail time for just semi big farm, i can't say i didn't learn lessons from this experience, but it do affected my life big way. Anyway my pdoctor, did suggest that mushrooms can help, they actually did, but nothing really that helped me. I have ptsd and before all this to happen so my brain is kinda unable to be controlled by substances and etc, its like im alert 24/7 even when i do sleep. Still can't complain, because things wont change anyway, so im focused on solutions over problems. Big off topic sorry. If i find the exact same adress in coleman tool, key is the same tho right? I mean exactly the same adress 33 characters lenght, should be mine one? If yes, im ready to lose all the time im able to, because its not like i relate only on the btc inside, but still money is also a tool that i need, it don't buy happiness, but it do help a lot. Im not greedy person had much, had nothing, but its much essential to have money, especially when btc is raising very well, i can use the value of the coins in way to ensure my future, family, to do things that i missed while was like a caged bird. For sure atleast 5 coins are to sue even more the authorities about doing me this, and etc.. Again off topic but its hard to sleep man

just because 2 addresses start out with the same 8 or 7 letters that doesn't mean their private keys are related in that same way.

have you considered getting hypnotized? i heard that sometimes help people remember small details they otherwise would never have been able to. thing is, if you never saw the private key with your eyes then that won't work.  

Can i ask why coleman tool wont help, because i found a way to derive adresses starting with or similar to mine im looking for, can say i see glimpses of hope. Also yes im aware it's very minimalistic chance, but still what else should i do, i can't just ditch them and move on after i found out i have a survived and untouched adress in the chain

if you don't know the private key then ian coleman is not going to help at all. also, no one is going to drain your address. if that could happen then bitcoin would be broken.

Before my farm was destroyed, i had 13 wallets, easy to remember the adresses at least them i did not forget, and i just browse around and found an old archive in github written by me how people can withdraw their bch fork, stating my adress then, and decided to see with the hope that is untouched, fortunately it wasn't, from there i simply calculated the hex, i know its just the public key, but i thought there are tips and tricks or anything that can lead me to getting acces again, unfortunately no. So here i am still lookin for the privkey, long story short, i won't stop untill i find it before someone else because i saw that people drain adresses like mine with balance in it, which for me can be double edged sword if someone drain it i can find the person legally, but if noone try to, im sticking to ian coleman tool with big hopes to find the priv key.

Then the "secret exponent" is the RIPEMD-160 hash of a public key, potentially. Is it 50 characters long as well?

You don't risk anything from revealing that hex beginning with "00", because it's highly unlikely to be a private key (considering the above), but just in case: you should always do everything related with this whole business in an offline machine, preferably air-gaped.

There's not gonna be a difference.

---

---

Where did you find this hex again? Wallet software doesn't ever tell you to save that.

Its just the hash in hex form starting with 00, base58check shows my adress name, but i do it online and in in the browser version? You think gonna show diff results if i download it from the repository and run it offline? Because now it shows completely different things

What does your secret exponent look like? How many characters does it have? What character set does it use (hex, Base58, etc.)? What are the first two characters? Why do you even think it is called the "secret exponent" in the first place? Did you have it written down somewhere?

Have you tried entering it in the "secret exponent" box on https://brainwalletx.github.io/ (downloaded and ran offline)? What results did you get?

dont worry about the (FAKE) sale of addresses
those are scams

if they could grab the value from addresses. they would do it themselves.. not try seling addresses

those scams dont have access to private keys. they are instead idiot newbies just selling public addresses to other idiots newbies that dont know about bitcoin.

Yes thats for sure, i just red in some forums that this can help, so im trying everything, im sure that even in ian coleman site chances to bump to the adress is bigger than reversing the privkey, but i see someone chose to put it for sell also in big pile of adresses, i just hope i get to it faster than someone else, because i still have chance now, but this thought of someone else getting it before me haunts me because i will be empty handed and with tons of lost time which im running out anyway. But if its my fate, i dont believe in fate, but still, it is what it is. 

i want you to save yourself time
again you cannot reverse engineer the true private key from the public address...

there are more computations to force than there are grains of sand in the universe if you tried backward engineering. even if it was a project of trying 100,000 attempts a second for the rest of your life and then passing down to your offspring and then your descendants, after 2 millenia later, they wont be any closer

lets give an example
saoshi(bitcoin inventor) has a bitcoin address of coins that the address was used a few times thus generated signatures to pull out the public key and other things.. yet. 14 years later.. no on has been able to backward hack those funds.
and thats with many many people trying and many years trying.

thats the beauty of bitcoin its not backward hack-able

the only option if the hardware from years prior is destroyed. is to re-enact your life from years ago. remember the way you thought about things. the hobbies and interests. the room you were in. what things your eyes seen and mind thought about that would later that fateful day of making the wallet would have come to mind that day to have created that wallet

list(on paper for you to see) all your hobbies, interests, girlfriends names, pet names. songs, books, games. inspirational messages. favourite foods, drinks. everything you can think of that as a 24yo you would have considered to MAKE a wallet. and re-enact the process as if you are doing it the first time. see what comes to mind

its the only way.

if you can think of just some of it. try some of those combinations. as that is atleast a more possible route then reverse engineering a public key.
the odds are more in your favour re-engineer the initial events leading towards the past wallet creation process.. the odds are against reverse engineering from the final public key

dont get too obsessed or stressed about it. if the funds have not moved yet(government found private key) i doubt they have it to move it now. so dont think about stressing self and worrying to need to solve it right away, do it calmly and patiently when you have spare time. the coins are not going anywhere so you have time. and plenty of it

its not something you might solve in a weed(unless you already know most of the words initially used). it may take a longgg while.
but instead of being a project you hand down as inheriters to attempt to force. the odds are less than that by working forward from your hobbies/interests and whatever you would have envisioned as a easy rememberable phrase back then

Brother, thank you for the exquisite answer, brought much memories really, i will work on this. I did tried some phrases i haven't, unluckily didn't work, but no joke, im amazed how your answer reached parts of my brain. But still 24yo my brain was like 50yo. Everything was made like I'd do it now at this age, i had big plans for the future, was sure that btc will blow, i had if im not wrong 13 wallets, ironically the adress start with 13,so i can work on this string too. I won't give up untill im back into the wallet, it is my last and only wish and opportunity to rebuild all that i missed and lost. Thank you man, wishh you to climb over every mountain and share it with your beloved people. Sorry just got me emotional, im bit traumatised still, there is nothing to repair from what was, everything was brutally smashed and seized.. But i have hope.

you do not have the "secret"(private key)
what you are describing as your "secret" is not what the bitcoin community call a private (secret)

what you have managed to reverse is not the private key you have just reversed from public address(human easier readable) to public KEY(less human readable)

yes converting public key to public address shows address.. but its not the part that comes before the ECDSA cycle which would be a TRUE "secret"(private key)


you cant reverse the public key (you personally call secret but its not) to become the TRUE secret(private key).

..
if you used a brain wallet years ago.
then im afraid you have to try and revisit your memories of events playing out in the past to try to re-enact the day you made the wallet. or find the device that was used and hope some IT guy can repair the device to retrieve the data

yep im afraid you will have to interrogate your brain. are you someone that would have backed it up. EG engrave brainwallet in metal and bury it in garden.
store it in a bank safety deposit vault. underlined certain words in your favourite book, etc

instead of just trying to remember a brain-phrase

imagine you are 24 again. and making a brainwallet for first time.
what were your interests. what subjects, hobbies and wors would you have back then thought "thats easy to remember because"

dont try remembering the phrase. .. try to remember the subjects of interest at 24 that you would have thought about when making the wallet that you would as a 24yo thought that would be easy to remember

EG if your obsessed with music back then. would you have as a 24yo been inspired to brainwallet a lyric

Yes exactly, this is the way i done it, i red some places that this secret exponent is somehow way to the private key, idk how, but anyway i diid it and still only thing that it helps me is to check my adress name, so its not in use in my case because my pubkey do the same and its listed in blockchair, but in the corrupted brainwallet, if u put this secret exponent it supposed to get u closer to ur address name, and from there i can get my wif code, but no results..

see if that makes sense.
there is no simpler explanation.

Im aware of that, im just confused what is exactly secret exponent, because they way i did its the simple explanation how the adress names are made, both show the adress, nothing more, if im not wrong its 51 characters in length, when i do base58check, shows just the adress name

you cant go from public key to private key. by design. neither can you reverse a ripemd hash.
 

Thank you very much, i need to add that my equipment is limited only by smartphone, but i see there is python for mobile only, also to add the secret exponent so called idk why, its the 00 riped sha1 hash that converted in base58 shows my adress name. Thats why i assume its just a pub key, but i know that inside the adress is the private key also the public, they're asymmetrically connected if im not wrong which is very likely to be wrong, i missed a lot even tho i still did my best to not lose all the strings with the crypto, had hope that one day maybe i can be again into the endless loop of codes and cryptos all that. Sorry i will rephrase, my secret exponent is the riped160 hash with the checksum behind. Its really confusing, but I'd do everything that's possible without harming other people adresses and keys, to regain mine, like I did say i spend my days scrolling in ian coleman, guess if i search for 1 particular adress whose archives shows me writing here about things, and explaining how to mine, more precisely block 100,and how to get the forked bch, in couple forums, even there is one in the github archive in raw version, me couple other adresess and the coinbase, if I remember correctly they did the transactions, i can see my adress there both in btc and bch format, lets say i was kinda in depth back then, but now far away from what i used to know, things changed. I will read the whole post still of course, like I said its my chance to get my life back for a second time.

pS.
Also i have to mention that if it wasn't my aunt Ruzha Ignatova, with her bullshit Onecoin and her ponzi scheeme, i would be happy living now, but it is what is, plus nnoone of the thiings written on the net fir her are true, she's still somewhere with her huge amount of coins.. But she dissappeared, for sure alive and free

Check out this topic that contains all the existing formats of private keys that are commonly used. What you have should look like one of them in order for it to be a "secret exponent". If it doesn't look like any of them, you are confusing what you have with a private key.

I swear i tried everything possible to remember even part of it, but i can't, i had couple adresses, like main ones, which i do remember but they're dead, this one isn't so different but i try so hard even with psychodelics i was suggested by my psychiatric in case it work, only had a unpleasant trip..i have the secret exponent but how to use it properly? I read in the web that is somehow possible to be in hand, but how.. Should I rinse the hash more and add more and repeat?

No the "secret exponent" is referred to the private key not the public key and you need it in order to be able to spend the coins.

IN that case you have to remember the exact passphrase you used to create that brainwallet and then try to find the same brainwallet tool you used back then to recreate the key.
This is probably the tool (or rather the copy of the tool you used), download the repository and run it preferably offline: https://github.com/brainwalletX/brainwalletX.github.io/

Oh you're the smart one, if i knew the private key wouldn't ask for help, also only adresses stay, but the btc i had in the couple adresses are gone, because in my country it was still illegal, no matter we're in EU, they do sent em for government use or lets say, they stealed from me for their personal good.

Also trust me i spend years trying to remember parts of them even, but its hard, i mean im smart, but my memory isn't this good. And when they rushed my apartment like im damn criminal smashing all 20 cpus i lost around 1 to 3k btc back then, the rest are in 2 adresses, idk how they missed them, one have 75btc,the other some dust

addresses with balance stay on the blockchain forever. balances don't get erased. 



if you know the private key to the address then you can spend the bitcoin.

Just to mention i was jailed and layed 6 y for mining, because back then it was illegal  in Eastern Europe, even tho i didnt steal electricity and payed high bills this prolly put eyes on me and maybe the heat and they thought it was a weed farm, but no. Anyway smh one of my adresess is still alive and its not seized, also im suing my country for failing my future i was young 24, and ruining my life, in this cage so long i did lose part of myself, but yall can't imagine my feelings when I found out the adress is still alive.. I will give my life to find it everywhere, anyway its my last hope for rebuilding my life.

Privet, I've been trying to find an legacy adress in its definition by everyway, except using scripts and programs, im not so it, but spent like 20 days in ian coleman website, searching for my adress pkey, i succeed to "calculate" the secret exponent, and when i do decrypt it in base58, its the same adress, can i really find any suggestions or everything that i can use to officially be a crypto millionaire, or my days will pass in ian coleman wsite  . I mean i will lose sleep, eat, everything if needed, because im dumb and i suffer from success. Thanks in advance, im not really a newbie but, from my understanding the so called secret exponent is just the public key? Im using brainwallet even tho we all know what we know about this. Tldr, can the secret exponent help me in any way?
