There are faster and more efficient tools out there. Python’s great for a lot of things, but for this? Not so much.
But he has the most stable (linux) programs he writes himself! ChatGPT must be envy of his code, searching for multiple matches between uncompressed and compressed addresses. Really stable stuff. If we combine this with COBRAS's 50000 public key division "how to get y" breakthroughs and the other guy's database, we might turn that needle into a giant Dune worm. But then it might be the one who finds us, we're digging into dangerous sands.
Meanwhile, 3Emi...YESs probably already spinning up his ASICs for 135.
So, you who criticize everything, what have you achieved? In your posts, you only refer to more computing power = more keys generated, but I don’t see anything we haven’t known for decades.
Fermat’s Last Theorem, although it may seem like an abstract problem with no direct practical applications, has had a significant impact on the development of mathematics. The quest for its proof led to advances in areas such as number theory, algebraic geometry, and the theory of automorphic forms.
Without the pursuit of solving this “insignificant” problem for practical purposes over 300 years, technology would not be what it is today.
What do I mean by this? The beauty of math is that even when we fail, we make progress.
A true scientist is one who does not impose their beliefs on others as absolute truth, and an intelligent person knows this.
Math lesson of the day: “humility.”
