You're a second person currently that does not believe at all but reacts like I am at least scammer Wink Read my post once again Sir then pick up what is needed and let me shock You a bit!

If you think hash160 can magically create a private key without elliptic curve multiplication or ECDSA, then you’re basically speaking programming fiction, not Python. If you skip elliptic curve multiplication, you're not reversing Bitcoin; you’re just hashing numbers randomly and hoping for a miracle. And you showed up here claiming to program in Python? You either need to change your approach or reject the AI if it’s advising you this nonsense. Grin

I've seen about five python scripts on GitHub that skip the signing_key = ecdsa.SigningKey.from_string(private_key_bytes, curve=ecdsa.SECP256k1) step. Instead, they apply hashing directly to decimal numbers. There’s even one script that claims to use some quantum computing API. These scripts completely ignore elliptic curve multiplication, making them useless for anything related to real Bitcoin key generation.
