Burgerwars Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Guessing a bitcoin private key is basically impossible. Something like one in how many atoms are in the universe.

Wouldn't be the first time...certainly there have been some nice aircraft abandoned over open waters when the pilot set the auto-pilot and bailed. hegemony 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
