\u2066\u202a@happyclowntime\u202c\u2069<\/a> the magic of encryption. you don’t need to provide the actual secret. just a message that is signed with the secret. all of bitcoins private keys are already in the network. a virtual, almost infinite, set of bank vaults, each connected to a private key.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This was probably my most mind-blowing moment in learning bitcoin. All the addresses and private keys already exist and you can find a pair offline and just send bitcoin to the address without anyone or anything in the network ever knowing your private key.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
