Re: P2PKH Address Pairs with Reused Nonce k

Yes, the r value was reused. One of the compromised addresses is a P2PKH address holding a bit over 2 BTC, which ACCIDENTALLY shared the same R with two other addresses due to a cloned VM. This particular address has a total of 7 spends with a biased k.

I compared all r values above; for example, the comparison between r2 and r5:

    Number of fixed (frequent) bits: 140/256

    Fixed bits ratio: 0.5469

The 7 r values mentioned come from the same key. Here, r2 and r5 have 140 fixed bits in total.

Is there a way to brute-force the nonce?
