Dear everyone,
Since this is an opensource project, and after reading your comments we have decided to change the direction a little bit.
The targets will not be e full Bitcoin public keys, but only their 8 leftmost bytes. So nothing will be robbed.
RecoveryCoin will have its value from indicating the strength of Bitcoin's keys against the potential network power, with probabilistic calculations.
Thank you very much for replying to this thread, however harshly.   Kiss

Then what's the point. I don't get why you would want the first 8 bytes? What can you do with that?
