The type of hashing in Bitcoin is specific enough that there might be some trick (not preimage attack, not collision attack) that is only applicable to Bitcoin.
This is a preimage attack even if it doesn't find a preimage for the entire thing. NONE of the bits of a SHA-256 digest are supposed to be easier to compute than brute force, finding a way to get 38 of them to all be 0 reliably would be a huge deal.

Also Wired has an article behind a paywall saying the crypto community is celebrating SBF's conviction, saying the fraud was a dark spot on crypto they are eager to move past and I'm wondering how the giant list of previous frauds/pulls/'we were hacked' doesn't count.

For some reason I don't fully understand these wallets they're trying to brute force have a total space of "only" 2^160.

Just so y'all know I actually have the trick to breaking SHA256 but I haven't used it because I'm nice. If anyone wants to pay me like a hundred thousand dollars I can share it. Money up front tho.

Actually I thought about it more, and I guess the LBC found wallets aren't actually collisions in the wikipedia sense, because although the LBC team knows that their input A will hash to your wallet X, they don't know what input you used to generate wallet X. I think to be a known collisions you have to know both inputs that generate the same output.

edit: I mean in the sense of "why wouldn't that be on wikipedia's list of hash functions that have known collisions" not "somehow bitcoin doesn't suck".

I wonder what is going to happen to the rest of the execs that pled guilty. They can't really go back to finance and I don't' know what technical fields will except them. I mean Ellison can always go back to the Feywild but the rest seem to have few options.

It's not the difficulty, it's that it gives out half the rewards for solving the difficult math question. Somehow people envision this would increase value, but it doesn't work that way anyway.

There is no "difficult math question". It's guessing a random number. Whoever first submits the correct guess wins.

Before you invest, you ask the other guy "Are you a Ponzi scheme?".

Legally they have to say if they are!

Reassured by a No, you can safely hand all your money over to that guy somehow guaranteeing you 20% interest.

Someone pointed out a few pages ago that bitcoin uses both sha-256 and ripemd-160, so you end up with the lower of the two spaces to search through.
