How long does it take to Hack a Ethereum Account by Guessing the private key ?
A Ethereum Account is protected by a 64 character hex string , that means there are
15x16^65 - 1 possible combinations ~ 2.8x10^79 so we have 28Tredecillion combinations
so if we are able to do 1 000 000 guesses per second , we would need 2.8x10^73 seconds on average to guess the correct private key.
2.8x10^73 seconds = 4.7x10^71 minutes = 7.8x10^69hours = 3.2x10^68 days = 8.9x10^65 years = very long :D
our universe does only exist since 13,82x10^9 years.
So you see that it is very hard to hack into a Ethereum Wallet by guessing the private key.
So if you don t want to waste your time , just dont try it :D
