Methods for uncovering the public key of a Bitcoin address

Yeah, brute-forcing private keys is easier than for public keys, but some setups require pubkeys. Like, in bsgs mode, it’s a smoother ride with pubkeys over just going wild with brute force.

True, but if there’s zero output transactions, you won’t get any public keys to work with, making it tough to do anything useful.

Hey, if you've got a tool that finds collisions, share it! I'm skeptical about expanding the search like that. Finding keys can take ages, especially in larger ranges.

Okay, thanks for the insights. Gonna look into the stuff if you share your source.
