...and it is statistically "impossible".
More's law say that computer power double every 2 years. statistically "impossible" today might not be impossible in 50 or 100 years. I also believe that it is possible to make bitcrack more than 10 times faster or more on existing hardware with a change of algorithm.
2017: A gpu can search 2^30 bitcoinadresses pr second
2117: A gpu can search 2^80 bitcoinadresses pr second (mores law, increase with 1 bit every second year)
Yes but:
- now it is statistically impossible
- your miner won't work in 10 years or less from now
- bitcoin will change its pow algorithm well before it's statistically feasible
So it's totally a waste of time.
