Possible is not the same as probable. It is always possible to derive a private key from a public key, however improbable it is. Learn the basics of scientific communication.

The solution is very simple, he should be made to prove the rubbish he's sprouting. Throw a challenge to him, give him a public key and let him derive the private key from it. If he can prove it, then he's a hero, else he should remain quiet.
AFAIK, it's not possible, the reverse is the case, public keys are derived from private keys
Another campaign shitposter posting lies? AFAIK, it's not possible, the reverse is the case, public keys are derived from private keys
It works in both ways.
Very good post stwenhao, but you are wasting it on people who won't understand or read it. It is always possible, but if you go into the world of big numbers, then it is just hard. It is difficult, it requires a lot of computing power, or cryptographical breakthrough. But you can prove, mathematically, that it is always possible.
It is called computationally infeasible, not mathematically impossible.
Case closed. Version 1
