Why hasn't someone just run a bunch of supercomputers to crack the top BTC wallets? Yes it's costly but drops in the bucket compared to the potential payout

>> No.29776496

Because it's impossible.

Game theory
The amount of work it would take to break one wallet could better be spent just mining bitcoin. And would be more profitable

Here is a better answer anon.

I didn’t know the exact probabilities until today either anon. I bet a lot of the brainlets that replied didn’t either.

Right now, what about moors law? What about quantum computing? Isn't it going to be trivialy easy at some point in time if technology keeps advancing exponentially?

I mean, possibly. but that level of technological progress would make Bitcoin outdated without even cracking a wallet

by that logic we could literally break any SHA-256 algorithm, you really think people would just hack bitcoin instead of nuclear launch codes or all the major banks?

It exceeds the limit of current wuantum computers.
Also if they can break btc they could break anything like nuclear weapons etc etc

Moore's law hasn't been a thing for years.

Advances in cryptography apply to both sides, dumbass. Improved attacks are simply met by improved defenses. Unless someone single-handedly figures quantum computing in their basement, but in that case there are more profitable paths than breaking crypto.

just use two supercomputers then
