👉 So, when someone says they can reverse hash160 back to a private key, they’re skipping all these steps!
That’s why it’s impossible. 😆

Take the Bitcoin address, convert it into hex.
Rearrange the numbers like a Sudoku puzzle.
Add a "magic" constant (random prime number).
Somehow, a private key pops out—if not, add another hex and pretend it worked

If Mercury is in retrograde, your hash160 might decrypt itself.

Almost on every other page someone here explains that this is a Sudoku puzzle.  Grin Grin Grin
