RE: A QUIZ on crypto wallets. Win 20 LEO !

in LeoFinance3 years ago

@onealfa

Idk if anyone did post this!

Wallet Address
0x1E07018Ff906F03f9e0A0Dab894b1EcC3424742fb

Private Key

2AE271D2ACEECA2708CF88544766AE9D5346D3E3EA356833E018BF7F621D43B7
I converted Binary code to Hex!
Copied and pasted.

Wallet address in Ethscan shows a 0$ balance tho' 😂

I used the private key in metamask and I was able to import it! But still it's value it's still zero 😂

Sort:  

Sure it's balance is zero.

You do not expected to find there 900 ETH, did you? 😃

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Hahah no I didn't! But expected another kind of troll or another hint!

So did I get it right?

I don't think so.
While your version

2ae271d2aceeca2708cf88544766ae9d5346d3e3ea356833e018bf7f621d43b7

seem to be also a valid ETH private key, it leads to a totally different ETH pub address, which is
0x9394230666cdcEB91ED10862bA87840c1751Ee6b

I have verified this in Metamask and MyEtherWallet, and both of them gave me the same result:

0x9394230666cdcEB91ED10862bA87840c1751Ee6b

As you may imagine, one PUB address can not have more than ONE private-key,
while at the same time - ONE private-key does not control more than just ONE Public address.

So, the Quiz task remains unsolved.

A private key can control many public addresses.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Many? How many?
Any source to backup this statement?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Multiple public keys hash to the same public address, as the public address consists of a suffix of the hashed public key.

Wallets for various coins provide you a list of public addresses all of them derived from the private key, in order for you to preserve your privacy. e.g. You use one public address only once, then for a different txn you use another.

I don't think I understood anything. Maybe you can explain a bit detailed?

This private key
0x610c8b06eac7fbd9aeb88b500fd6892b038cc60fc40e9381184130e6893fb600

is from this ETH public address:
m/44'/60'/0'/0/0,
0x1E07018Ff906F03f9e0A0Dab894b1EcC3424742f

What other addresses this very same private key controls?

Having PRIVATE key should be not hard to find the corresponding PUBLIC address(s), right?
So what are those others?
