Seems that sha256 and rmd160 is a joke for most users here, all those partial address are not useful at all.
I agree with that. Some people think the processes inside sha256 and rmd160 are based on scientific steps but they are wrong.
It's based on what we called "BLACK MAGIC", You do the steps in certain way and you get your target output(Here is UNIQUENESS) without any scientific explanation on why you do it in this order or why you use this operation instead of that operation...
BLACK MAGIC != SCIENCE
Is there any voodoo priest here? I have some questions about some of the rituals involved in sha256 and rmd160.
I was wondering, what if we design an elliptic curve that has a fixed 64 characters public keys and then we could skip sha256 hashing and go directly to rmd160 hashing?
This would have zero relevance to secp256k1 curve, I just wanted to know if it's possible, which I assume it is, since I know no black magic, I thought to ask here.😉
