Re: Is it possible to generate existing BTC private & public key pair?
is it theoretically possible to generate a private key of an existing btc address ?
the private key is basically just a random 256bit number, so if I'd know that number I could just create a new private key in WIF form, from which I'd create public key and btc address, or is there something more to this and one 256bit number can have multiple public keys and btc addresses?
