On Nov. 1st 2024 at 0:00 AM UTC I will post here a BTC P2PKH address (compressed) associated with an 80-bits secure private key.

What is the reason for not revealing the range and address now? And make a sending transaction within 24 hours after Nov. 1st 2024 at 0:00 AM UTC as you said...
You could open them even on October 16, it would not change anything, no one will be able to find out the private key in 80-bits range without the public key.

So that anyone has a few weeks of heads up to, IDK, prepare their stuff. Obviously, for that, the "range"-related information should be irrelevant, hopefully no one is rewriting core parts of algorithms.

I guess you're right, but it's more ethical to stick to the announced date & time.

Besides, it's more fun to do it at 00:00 on a 11.01!

If you're concerned it's a hoax, here's the address, for now:

Code:

Since you have a somewhat valid point, I'll wait at least 20 hours after the relevant info is provided (7 hours from now), before pushing the TX that reveals the public key.
