Maybe my question is nooby,

But, why LBC is randomly collide addresses with private keys, why LBC don't target group of large btc addresses (which are a long time inactive and have large number of BTC) and try to collide-pair brute force public keys (auto generated) with exactly choosen addresses.

If we saw list of trophies, there are addresses about 0.5BTC or less, I hope that is not target.

If someone can explain me, I repeat, I am noob and only think "why we not go directly big addresses" such as: https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

I am planning to invest in hardware and join in LBC, but I not know where is calculation to invest thousands of dollars in hardware, spent months and years for 0.5btc.

if you read the details about the project it checks the top 9 million address for collision so every key it generates checks against 9 million addresses with BTC.

read the whole page.. to get an idea.

edit: its 15 million addresses now.
