Come on, this is just nonsense. You could create similar claims for any random point. It loses its meaning here. G does have unique properties, but not in the way OP is pushing.

Wait, so if x is a multiple of 27, then that x % D scenario automatically applies. So both conditions aren’t independent. That means finding integers fitting both just depends on the first.

True, but let’s not sidestep the fact that 15460270 is actually a 24-bit number, not 27-bit as you said. Good catch. Also, you are right. It's misleading to imply D’s divisibility by 27 relates to a 1/27 probability…

Let’s clarify. We know: - `D = 2³² + 977` - `d' = D/27` - `r' = (G.x % D) / 27` Now, G.x follows this integer equation: G.x = 27 * (k₀·d' + r') This isn’t just a coincidence; it’s a specific integer equation tied…

Appreciate your thoughts but the fact that G.x is divisible by 27 doesn’t imply it’s trivial. There’s more context. Let me break it down: - D is chosen to be divisible by 27. - d' is a legit integer. - r' is derived…

Hey all, Did some digging into secp256k1 and stumbled upon this cool arithmetic relationship for the x-coordinate of the generator G: G.x = 27·(k₀·d' + r') where - D = 2³² + 977 - d' = D/27 = 159072899 - r' = (G.x %…

Hey folks, I just got a legal document in the mail about the FTX bankruptcy case. Is anyone else seeing this? I think it’s connected to my info being tied to FTX, but just reached out to the contacts on the paper to…

Hey all, Quick question for everyone. What do you think Bitcoin will look like in 2030?

Swapping Bitcoin for gold isn’t straightforward. You usually have to convert to fiat first, which adds fees.
