Got a strange one for you guys... I was checking out some RSZ stuff and noticed something weird. I found identical short S signatures used on 2 different wallet addresses. Could this mean there's an issue with how the signing happened? I can't recover the keys myself, so I'm hoping someone else has seen this before. Thanks! P.S. Not sharing the signatures since they're from the chain.

@MikeJ_NpC Nah, it's not a security issue if the same R appears in different transactions with separate public keys. Without knowing one of the private keys or the nonce, you can't recover anything. If you found the same R with the same private key or public key, then yeah, you could potentially find the nonce and private key.

No way, dude. You can only get the private key back if the repeated R is from the same address. Why would different addresses have any link like that?

That’s not really what I was getting at... But honestly, I think it was just a parsing mistake that caused this. When I checked, it didn’t come out valid. So yeah, just my luck.
