I’d like to thank you for helping me out with the script. I really needed that totally non chat GPT based work.
It’s clear that you have the issue backwards and that you think we actually need to prove something to you while you’re the one spitting unproven theories based en statistical fallacies.
Well, I think I’ve explained it enough, and you’re either too stubborn or stupid to understand.
At this point, anyone losing time or money on prefixes deserves any consequence they may face. They’ve had plenty of our posts to learn from and challenge their beliefs.
Welcome to my ignore list. Be proud, you’re only the second person to make it there.
No one can definitively prove that there's no connection between the prefix and the private key—just like you can't conclusively prove that there is any relation.
So in my opinion, it would be better to pause this debate until either side can bring stronger evidence. Right now, it's just unnecessarily stretching the thread without any productive outcome.
All 3 steps in the algorithm are designed so that there is no connection. It’s part of the basic properties of a hash function and of an elliptic curve. Having a connection means there is a different flaw in all 3. So unless people come up with a proof of each of those flaws, then there is no link. Not the other way around.
Agree on not talking about it anymore, given how something so obvious is hard to understand for some.
