If a large amount of unused receiving addresses were accidentally revealed (say 50 or so), is there any risk to the funds that may be stored in that wallet? Assuming the revealed addresses remain unused. I'm wondering if there's an increased risk of reverse engineering the private key if enough public addresses are known.
Its already available for the public to see, which addresses contains how much amount of bitcoin but no one can access the address without the private keys so there is no issue for the funds stored in it, but exchanges and governments may track if you if those addresses linked to the transaction from the exchange wallet.
