Mar 9, 2022 at 11:30 comment added fgrieu One does not "encrypt" with a BitcoinPrivateKey, or any private key in any cryptosystem. The proper term is "sign", which goal is authentication, not secrecy (the goal of encryption). In other cryptosystems that do encryption, one encrypts with the public key and decrypts with private key. Any mention of encryption with the private key is at best using incorrect terminology.

Feb 8, 2021 at 5:34 comment added nonopolarity so brain wallet involves private key and public key... so it could be a poem they lock up in the safe, but it is the 1st, 3rd, 5th word on each line, and then the 1st, 3rd, 5th word on each line again... and this is the key to $3 million dollars... and it can be made into a puzzle like in the book Da Vinci code... so they can make a movie out of it
