Re: Is it possible to hack BTC on that address only by knowing the bitcoin address?
Actually, I want to know how to attack the bitcoin address.
Get an address with a high amount of bitcoin in it. How can a hacker attack this address? There is no other information. There's only address information and bitcoin amount.

This is actually very easy.
1) buy a pretty good quality computer. Best if fully dedicated and separate from your normal computer.
2) download and install Vanitygen
3) 64 vanitygen64 (64 is faster and works better than normal vanitygen)
4) start scan on the address like this at the command line: vanitygen64 1FuckYouc6zrtHbnqcHdhrSVhcxgpJgfds
It will take some time for sure. But soon you will have the key for that address.
Don't let the morons around here tell you it is impossible. That is just plain wrong. It is scientifically provable that this works. Dumbasses who don't understand statistics love declaring this impossible. Vanitygen guesses millions of times per second. With enough seconds, it is not impossible.
Lol I love your word soon...
it is quiet quick when you want an adress which start with some letters and that you don't care about the rest.
But if you are targetting a precise and full address, here is a table for an estimate of time :
vanity difficulty average time
1B 22 < 1s
1Bi 1,330 < 1s
1Bit 77,178 < 1s
1Bitc 4,476,342 (4.48E+6) < 10s
1Bitco 259,627,881 (2.6E+8) 3 minutes
1Bitcoi 15,058,417,127 (1.506E+10) 3 hours
1Bitcoin 8.7339E+11 1 week
1BitcoinE 5.0657E+13 1 year
1BitcoinEa 2.9381E+15 60 years
1BitcoinEat 1.7041E+17 3,500 years
1BitcoinEate 9.8837E+18 200,000 years
1BitcoinEater 5.7325E+20 11,700,000 years
1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSend 1.6209E+47 3.3E+33 or 3.3 decillion years.
So yeah if several thousand of years is soon for you, sure start it now
I said you have to buy a 'good quality computer'. You probably have a piece of shit you got at Radio Shack 10 years ago.
lol, this anwser...lmao...best ever
