RE: How a Bitcoin address was cracked? Took just 30 hours.

in HODL5 years ago

That’s a SUPER cool story !

But did allierait give help ? Or this guy could have cracked any address if he wanted?

Even mine if I had 200 BTC init for example?

PS: Misspelling error on the “VOILÀ”. 😂

Sort:  

It was only because alistair was revealing the phrases one by one. When 8 out of 12 phrases of his key were revealed, it was then when cantrell did all this. Otherwise it would take a long ass time for all the combinations and permutations to guess all the right phrases. Or maybe as we are hearing that quantum computing will be so advanced that it might guess. But quantum computing is very far from of us in the current times.

Oh ! Now I understand. Great explanation and additional comment. Thanks 😊
