Cryptographic hash functions are designed to be random and unpredictable. When you input a public key into the hash function, the resulting hash is a seemingly random sequence of numbers and letters.

Even a tiny change in the public key (e.g., flipping a single bit) will completely change the hash due to a property called the avalanche effect.

This randomness ensures there is no discernible pattern in the hash.


When someone makes a statement and if it does makes sense it doesn't mean it's disrespect.

It does not mention anything about cryptographic hashing. (@jareso)

I think it will not start with "5FFF" and I designed my software accordingly, it just says.

That's why it is an idea, I said it should be respected.

Let me give an example about cryptographic hashing.

If you are looking for another wallet with similar first 10 digits of a wallet starting with 1BY8GQbnu.

You will definitely find it between 7800000000009990000 - 7860000000000990000

Under normal conditions, a number like 2**56 - 72,057,594,037,927,936 is equal.

But why is there definitely 59,999,999,991,000,000?
Why is it definitely between 7800000000009990000 - 7860000000000990000?

This is also an idea, you can call it ridiculous, a fantasy, wrong or something else. But it is an idea.
