I am trying to guess Satoshi’s seed phrase. Was it 12 or 24 words? Thanks
Solana (SOL) With an Impressive Achievement Against Ethereum
I guess he wasn’t using seed phrases back then …
I’ve figured out the first five, keep this under your hat ok?
1. BE
2. SURE
3. TO
4. DRINK
5. YOUR
If you are talking about the 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa address. It has the 50 BTC reward of the genesis block, but it is actually not spendable.
Good luck with that wee man, endless possibilities that even a lifetime could not get through
you don’t even know how seedphrases work…
Good luck, mate! You’re gonna need it 😄 Keep us posted on your progress!

so lotto numbers are around 24 bits, and your randomly guessing them. 24 bits can be forced in miliseconds, but the games is only every few days. Every bit doubles the search space, even ignoring the cryptographic routines in generating the key, which is designed to be inefficient for this reason, your not guessing anything. you COULD be lucky, like in the lotto, but your search space is so mind numbingly vast you can throw every computer on earth on this trying to get lucky and maybe get a 0.001% chance in a lifetime of trying keys. You could get lucky on the first key, or you will almost (tiniest almost ever) never ever get there. Eitherway, your chances are infinitesimal. You should rather mine bitcoin with every computer on earth than try and guess a specific key. An interesting side quest though is that you could random generate every conceivable private key until you get lucky against “any” other private key and check if it has a balance and drain it, this increases your chances from basically 2^256 to one, to 2^256 to 65 million or so (which is about the number of wallets with at least a dollar), which is still billions and billions (and billions) of times more than the amount of electrons/protons/neutrons in the entire universe.
Seed words mnemonic was not invented until 2013.
