Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
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.😉
Addresses with private keys and public addresses will not match. It doesn't matter if you reach 10B addresses per second if they are not in the BTC Bitcoin network.
it's certainly possible to do so, but it would be in a separate context from Bitcoin and would not be suitable for use within the Bitcoin network.
Next level of voodoo would be be optimizing SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160 hashing more reducing redundant operations and utilizing efficient libraries or algorithms.
Or even making specialized hardware for them with special instructions.
We're struggling more with hardware than math here.
