HOW SECURE IS YOUR BITCOIN WALLET?

Are you afraid of getting hacked by quantum computers?!

I'm an entrepreneur / cyber security enthusiast risking my entire net-worth and time by building a bitcoin start up, so I had to do the math for myself. Buckle in because it's more secure than you can fathom.

Possible Combinations of BTC wallets per type:

Legacy Address: 25 commas

BIP-39 (12 word): 13 commas

BIP-39 (24 word): 26 commas

Legacy wallets (256-bit private keys):

2^256 = 115,792,089,237,316,195,423,570,985,008,687,907,853,269,984,665,640,564,039,457,584,007,913,129,639,936

(This is approximately 1.16 x 10^77)

BIP-39 12-word seeds:

2048^12 = 5,444,517,870,735,015,415,413,993,718,908,291,383,296

(This is approximately 5.44 x 10^39)

BIP-39 24-word seeds:

2048^24 = 29,642,774,844,752,946,028,434,172,162,224,104,410,437,116,074,403,984,394,101,141,506,025,761,187,823,616

(This is approximately 2.96 x 10^79)

The math above demonstrates that 12 word seed phrases are the least secure of all three wallet types. If there's 200 million bitcoin wallets and 160m of those are using 12 word seeds, this is the odds below of you getting hacked.

Let's say we have a supercomputer that can check 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000 or 10^12) seed phrases per second. This is far beyond current capabilities but helps illustrate the scale.

We'll assume you're using this computer 24/7 for an entire lifetime. Let's say that's 100 years.

Now, let's do the math:

Seconds in 100 years:

100 years * 365 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 3,153,600,000 seconds

Total number of seed phrases we could check in 100 years:

3,153,600,000 * 1,000,000,000,000 = 3,153,600,000,000,000,000,000 (about 3.15 * 10^21)

Probability of finding the correct seed phrase:

3.15 * 10^21 / 34,028,236,692,093,846,346,337,460,743,176,821 ≈ 9.26 * 10^-14

This means that even after 100 years of continuous checking at this incredible rate, the probability of finding a single valid seed phrase is about 0.0000000000000926 or about 1 in 10 trillion.

To put it another way:

If you had 10 trillion of these supercomputers running for 100 years each, you'd have about a 63% chance of finding one valid seed phrase.

To have a 99.99% chance of finding a valid seed phrase, you'd need to run this process for about 460 billion years - that's about 33 times the current age of the universe.

In conclusion, The number of possible legacy private keys is greater than the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe (which is around 10^80) 🤯🤯🤯

If you've heard this last statement before, they weren't exaggerating.

BITCOIN = HOPE

✨ Introducing Alby Hub ✨

Alby Hub is a new, open source self-custodial wallet from Alby designed to be used in Nostr, mobile & desktop apps, websites, games and more!

It is a one-click install node that lets you connect to dozens of

nostr:npub19hg5pj5qmd3teumh6ld7drfz49d65sw3n3d5jud8sgz27avkq5dqm7yv9p apps.

🐝 Best part - you can use it with Alby Account and that means you can use it with your lightning address. You can also still log in to apps that support "Log in with Alby"

https://m.primal.net/Jcqs.mp4

😍 We are rolling out access to the public — if you are interested in Alby Hub, join the waitlist and you'll get it soon 🚀

https://getalby.com/waitlist

🌐 Alby Hub works best when it runs 24/7, so users can plug it into many different apps and use it everywhere — on the web, on the go with mobile wallets, inside apps and games — no matter the platform!

🔌 We focus on streamlining the experience of using your wallet in the apps you already love. We have some plans on deeper and deeper Nostr integration, you your Hub will only get more powerful with time 👀

🔐 Your keys are safe and encrypted by a password of your choice. Alby cannot access your funds or reset your password: your sats are truly yours, and with that comes responsibility!

🧈 To make spinning up your Hub quick and smooth, we offer Alby Cloud subscription for our users. For 21k sats / month you don't need to worry about any hardware or server hassle: you get a link access to your hub, priority in-app support, access to Alby Buzz community of Alby supporters, and more to come!

🆓 However, Alby Hub is100% open-source and you can also run it completely for free on your own device, personal server or cloud. Feel free to verify, suggest and contribute to code: https://github.com/getAlby/hub

⚡ Our mission is to make lightning decentralised and easy. And make some of those zaps stats less custodial... We're working on creating an experience to open and manage your first lightning channel that's not scary or difficult.
