So, I was messing around in my spare time and whipped up this script that generates a Bitcoin address with an extra secret code based on schnorr aggregate signatures.
Got me thinking, how safe would this type of Bitcoin address actually be? My main goal was to make it even harder to figure out the private key from the public one, especially if somehow the ECDSA algorithm gets compromised (kinda paranoid, I know).
You can check out the code at schnorr_lib.py if anyone's interested. Just need to pip install bitcoin first. Thanks to the original creator for the schnorr_lib!
What do you all think about this? Is it just a wild idea or could it really add some security?
Is This New Bitcoin Address Idea Secure Enough?
