If someone were to successfully duplicate someone else's key then after they downloaded all the blocks, they would have the same balance as the person with the original key. That's what you're saying, right?<br/><br/>I was referring to the custom Bitcoin addresses which you can label with the name of the person who is going to send you bitcoins so that you know from whom the payment came. I think these addresses are generated from the private key mentioned previously. I'm wondering about collisions because although they are very unique, they are easily generated over and over again by all by all bitcoin clients.</div> text/html
