1EEoqxSat3 followed by the rest of an address can also be 1EEoqxSat3 followed by the rest of another address with less then a months worth of GPU computing power. And with all the GPU rigs not doing much after ETH went PoS there are a lot of them out there not doing much.

Additionally, there's cheap marketplace to rent CPU/GPU such as vast.ai.

However, the topic has started with a question, not a debate on how (un)safe holograms and fistbits are. If one indeed has such a collectible, he will still want a tool to see his funds without taking down the hologram. Yes, it may not be accurate, in some cases the wrong address may be returned/checked, but I don't know of better tools.

Not exactly tool, but you could download list of funded/used address and find address based on "firstbits" either using text editor or grep command.

Code:

$ wget http://addresses.loyce.club/Bitcoin_addresses_December_16_2022.txt.gz
$ gzip -dk Bitcoin_addresses_December_16_2022.txt.gz
$ grep "1EEoqxSat3" Bitcoin_addresses_December_16_2022.txt
