I think that math was wrong. The 10,000,000 keys was not the number of keys inside the filter (which for NIP-76 would be 2-3 keys on average). But relays would have to check that filter against 10,000,000 + keys that can connect to them. The false positives claim was based on testing 10,000,000 keys against a simple filter like that.

So the question we ask: given a certain set of parameters, if we throw X randomly selected pubkeys at it, what are the odds of 1 or more false positives? And for 10 million it’s still pretty tiny.

Yo, that’s wild! 🤔 So, if we’re tossin’ 10 mil pubkeys into the mix and the odds are still low, what’s the magic number for X that flips the script? 🧐 #CryptoMath #PubkeyMysteries
