This is the biggest crypto puzzle: find private key of Sathoshi Bitcoin wallet with 1 mln bitcoins. Over $50 Bln prize for one crypto puzzle.
This would be AlphaGo moment of quantum computing if you could make that one attack successful even while paying huge price (e.g. years of quantum datacenter work).
Approximately one minute after you start this process, someone will figure out that either (1) bitcoins no longer securely belong to anyone or (2) Satoshi thinks selling off all his bitcoin is a good idea.
Approximately two minutes after you start this process, the price of bitcoin will plummet.
Sorry, you will not be taking home $50B today.
Anyone can sell bitcoins and make money. But if you have the power to destroy bitcoin, well then you can short the entire bitcoin market and clean up.
Frankly, I would just walk into the door of a large hedge fund and sell them to the key for $5B. They'll do far better than I ever could, and $5B is more money than I can possibly use in my lifetime, while being a tiny cost of business for them.
I'm not sure of the details and my understanding of it is limited. But it seems there is some kind of statistical anomaly in the nonces of early blocks, and some people suspect that he purposely formed this anomaly the leave a clue or encode the private key for the wallet.
As long as you never reuse an address bitcoin would continue to be resistant to quantum attacks even if you can factor private keys from public keys, you still need to invert a hash function to go from address to public key.
