I think so, for outgoing transaction (aka to remove from the address), it's kind of needed to verify the signature.
The 2^66 is only for this game where only 66 bits were left unknown.
In the general case obtaining the private key from the public key is much longer.
- TacticalCoder 2y agoAh gotcha, that's what I missed. Thanks for your explanation. For a regular address, even with the public key, if there are 256 unknown bits it'd be 2^128, which is statistically unlikely to be solvable.
