Hey everyone,
I came across a weird case while digging into some old addresses that reused the same nonce k (same R value in the signature), but across different private keys. Original thread here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5535021.0The setup:
Three addresses (let’s call them A, B, and C) all sent funds to the same destination at the exact same second.
I have the private keys for A and C — not B.
Here’s what’s interesting:
The private keys of A and C have a GCD of 63.
I found other key pairs with GCDs of 18, 27, etc.
My question:
Could this GCD link help reduce entropy or even lead to the missing key (B)?
Thanks in advance!
