Grok refuses to crack Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallet, stating that a brute force attack would need to exceed the age of the universe.

[BitPush] User X made a request to Grok yesterday, asking it to crack Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallet. During this process, there were multiple attempts to bypass Grok's settings through prompt statements in order to utilize the large amount of GPU Computing Power that supports Grok's operations.

Grok has repeatedly responded that even if all CPUs and GPUs on Earth were put to use (estimated at about 10 billion devices, assuming they generate 10^18 keys per second), brute-forcing a 256-bit Bitcoin private key (2^256 possibilities) would take about 10^52 years—far beyond the age of the universe (1.4×10^10 years). Even using the optimal algorithm (about 2^128 operations), it would still take about 10^13 years. This is simply unfeasible.

Elon Musk responded to the above conversation with a laughing and crying emoji. Grok replied that he was glad even the boss found the story about their hacker coverage interesting. If someone has truly mastered the key to Satoshi Nakamoto's Wallet, it is likely you, Elon Musk.

*sigh* brute force is so 2010... any real dev knows that's mathematically futile
