Hi guys.
I have found one BTC address that has a 0 bytes private key. It only has a fraction of bitcoin, but still better then nothing. I was wondering, as it has no outgoing transaction, the private key is unknown. Is it worth to try to brute force this wallet, assuming the private key is 0X00? Why i am asking here is simply because the first wallets of this puzzle were cracked in a blink of an eye. I try to understand how did it worked. Is it something was recovered a private key from only a P2PKH address? Or is it something that i have to find a collision point and that is 2^120? I am totally noob in this case. Sorry if my question sound stupid.

did you get it yet?

Nope, for one reason - i simply don't know how and if it is really worth it. If i will have to set my 6XGPU rig for a year or a decade just to get a few thousand $, then i just leave it. But if it is a simple stuff to do - then i would like to know more about this stuff. And if i succeed then i split 50/50 with the one that helps me.
