The private keys have to be the ones that are deterministic so I'd guess no.
Well, if you know all my public addresses, and they're all deterministiclly generated, I would think it would make it easier for a "bad guy" to guess my "seed" that generated these, and therefore get my private key...

Re: NVC giveaway !!! Trade it, use it, enjoy it. Only 2nd after BTC by price
Why would anyone want to purchase a product from a company where their employees (Josh aka Inaba) is spending his whole time sitting on a forum defending himself and calling everyone an idiot and trying to be witty insulting everyone that challenges his.
I have heard a lot about butterfly labs not delivering on time, however I have also heard that they have finally started some shipments with their products. I was wondering would the 5 gh/s one on their website (listed at $274.00) be worth it, and what is a conservative estimate on its arrival time? Seems like a good deal to me, if you could get your hands on it and get it working, but thats what I'm worried about.
well, it's a small gamble... 80% odds you'd get it ... but the question is "when"

Is it more likely to crack your private key by seeing many of your deterministically generated public addresses?

Re: Help me understand Private Keys and the Armory offline wallet
Reading up on the deterministic wallet it seems that both Electrum and Armory determine future addresses from a seed value that you keep safe as backup, which it can use to re-determine your addresses. So you don't need to keep re-backing up your wallet like with bitcoin-qt or multibit if you create a new adddress.
How safe are determinist wallets?
I feel Satoshi didnt use them for a reason.... is there a catch?
