How long would we have to use bitcoin before we *should* expect to see an address collision (two private bitcoin addresses both being assigned to the same person)? Well, hold onto your butts.

Input interpretation

sqrt(2×2^160 log(1/(1-0.5)))/(7×10^9) seconds

Image

Result

2.033×10^14 seconds

Image

Unit conversion

6.444×10^6 average Gregorian years

Image

Comparisons as time

 ~~ 59 × time since the beginning of the last glacial period (~~ 110000 yr )

Image

Comparisons as age

 ~~ ( 0.00047 ~~ 1/2140 ) × universe age (~~ 14 Gyr )

Image

Comparisons as half‐life

 ~~ 0.41 × half-life of iodine-129 (~~ 4.95×10^14 s )
