I have a stupid question.
How is it prevented that there are accidentally two identical bitcoin addresses in the system? Of course the probability is small but if it happened it would be disastrous, wouldn't it?
It wouldn't really be that disastrous. But no, there is no system to prevent two addresses from colliding. If it ever happened, it would mean you can steal the money in there.
