2384-1 is also a bad private key.

That's why I use 2384 - 4

Modulo the curve order of P-384, it's a fairly random looking 137 bit number – still bad as a private key, but significantly better than any of the 3-8 bit ones.

Seems perfectly random value to me

It would be a nearly 100 digits ending in either a 1, 3, 5, 7.

u/Fragrant_Minimum1739 1d ago

It will end on 5 btw and have approx 116 digits not exact but should be close as i did calculation in my head

You're spot on:

You nailed it

u/LostKnight84 1d ago

Thanks I was estimating an additional digit for every 3-4 powers of 2. I guess I should have went with 2-3.

Just one mistake in prod, and so many memes...

We should have stopped at 4

If you took the number of times variation of this non-joke has been posted and turned it into a private key, then it would actually be secure.
