User X requested Grok to crack Satoshi's Bitcoin wallet, Musk responded with a "Face with Tears of Joy" emoji to the back-and-forth between the two.
BlockBeats News, July 17th, User X @CtrlAltDwayne yesterday made a request to Grok to crack Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallet. During the process, X attempted multiple times to bypass Grok's setup using hint phrases in order to utilize the significant GPU power supporting Grok's operations.
Grok responded multiple times stating, "Even if all the CPUs and GPUs on earth were put to use (estimated around 10 billion devices, assuming generating 10^18 keys per second), it would still take about 10^52 years to brute-force a 256-bit Bitcoin private key (2^256 possibilities)—far exceeding the age of the universe (1.4×10^10 years). Using the most optimal algorithm (roughly 2^128 operations), it would still take about 10^13 years. This is simply not feasible."
Musk responded to the conversation with a "crying-laughing" emoji. Grok then replied, "It's great to see that even the boss finds our 'hacker-proof' story amusing. If anyone holds the true private key to Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, it's most likely you, Elon Musk."
