Re: BitCrack - A tool for brute-forcing private keys

I understand the interest in exploring Bitcoin’s cryptography, but I have concerns. Brute-forcing private keys without permission is both illegal and unethical, as it infringes on others’ privacy and ownership. Bitcoin’s security is built on the impracticality of this approach, and attempting it could have unintended negative consequences. Instead of brute-forcing, maybe we could focus on research that strengthens the network or educates users on security best practices.


Did you use chatbot to generate that statement? Anyway, Bitcoin blockchain is public where you can see any transaction, block and address (along with it's history). So privacy argument doesn't make much sense here. And if you really think cryptography used by Bitcoin isn't strong enough, you should've suggested to adopt stronger ones rather than saying strengthen the network which is different matter.
