BlockBeats news, on July 17th, X user @ CtrlAltDwayne sent a request to Grok yesterday, requesting it to crack Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallet. During this period, they attempted multiple times to bypass Grok settings through prompt statements in order to use a large amount of GPU computing power that supports Grok operations. Grok has responded multiple times, stating that even if all CPUs and GPUs on Earth were put into use (estimated to be around 10 billion devices, assuming 10 ^ 18 keys are generated per second), brute force cracking a 256 bit Bitcoin private key (2 ^ 256 possibilities) would take about 10 ^ 52 years - far exceeding the age of the universe (1.4 × 10 ^ 10 years). Using the optimal algorithm (approximately 2 ^ 128 operations) also takes about 10 ^ 13 years. This is simply not feasible. '' Musk responded to the above conversation with a "smiling and crying" expression. Grok replied, 'I'm glad even the boss finds our' hacker coverage 'story very interesting.'. If someone has the real key to Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, it's likely you, Elon Musk
