Re: SHA-256 All Possible Combination & Breaking the code Hypothesis
The number is limited, but even the entire bitcoin network, which currently generates 2.4x1017 hashes per second, would take 4.8x1059 seconds, or 1.5x1050 centuries to go through all possible values. That is 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times the age of the universe.
And reiterating what @pooya87 wrote, where would you store the event record? There aren't enough atoms on the Earth to store that much information.
In the end, computational power and clever algorithms are not going to do it. You will need to find major exploits in the hash algorithm.
I am astonished with this answer.
That just gave me goosebumps while reading it! Damn!
My theory will end up non-conclusive if this is the case.
But there are still many questions ..
Allow me some time to re-visit them and I will express them right here. Since I have gotten three answers above, they have kicked something in my mind.
Answers to few queries which you guys actually defending may not happen but the answer is right there.
For example, storage of all events that happened, and are happening right now. There got to be some way to extract it from the previous actions. The event did occur and for confirmation purposes original input remains intact I hope so.
Thats jumbling one. I will keep on reading.
This is exciting to discuss it here with cool minds.
