maiakee on Nostr: The probability of randomly guessing a correct Bitcoin private key is extremely low ...
The probability of randomly guessing a correct Bitcoin private key is extremely low due to the vast number of possible combinations. A Bitcoin private key is 256 bits long, which means it has around 10^77 possible combinations. To put this into perspective:
• If you could perform 1 trillion guesses per second (1 terahash per second), which is much faster than most current computers, it would still take around 10^66 years to randomly find the correct private key. This is far longer than the age of the universe itself, which is about 13.8 billion years (approximately 10^10 years).
This makes it practically impossible to guess a Bitcoin private key by brute force, confirming the robustness of Bitcoin’s cryptographic security .
