1. Private keys are positive integers within a specific range. 2. Public keys come from elliptic curve math, represented as points with x and y coordinates. These coordinates can be positive or negative.
So the goal of my program is to see if I can narrow down private key values by checking if subtracting a private key from a public key gives a positive or negative result.
1. Public keys have both positive and negative components. 2. Technically, it’s possible to track private keys through complex math, but it’s way too hard. 3. If someone could reliably tell the sign of a public key,…
My apologies to both of you. I see now where I messed up. Your feedback helped clarify things. Thanks for your patience!
If your program knows the private key, then yeah, the public key it spits out will be accurate. But if you’re getting errors, I’d guess there’s a problem with how you’re checking the private key.
Yeah totally, I’m not trying to crack private keys here. I’m just looking for a way to tell if the public key is positive or negative based on the private key.
So I’ve been messing around with this program that generates public keys from private ones using elliptic curve stuff. It seems like the private keys I’m using can either be positive or negative, and depending on that,…

- Understanding Share Values in Solo MiningMar 29, 2018
Hey all, just started mining with NerdQAxe+ a few days ago and I’ve got a question. In my dashboard it says "Best Share = 6.27 B". I couldn’t find anything official about what that means. I found some categories like K…
- Is Multiplying Public Keys Valid?Nov 29, 2017
A quick question about Bitcoin stuff. If I do Public key * (private key), I get a public key. So, what about (same public key) * (same public key)? Is that even a thing?
