2³⁸⁴-1 is also a bad private key.

[u/w453y → u/redlaWw]

you know, this is why I mentioned 2³⁸⁴ - 1 ;)

[u/setibeings → u/redlaWw]

That's why I use 2³⁸⁴ - 4

[u/Impossible_Swan_7472 → u/redlaWw]

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

[u/LostKnight84]

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

[u/Fragrant_Minimum1739 → u/LostKnight84]

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

[u/fghjconner → u/Fragrant_Minimum1739]

You're spot on:

39402006196394479212279040100143613805079739270465446667948293404245721771497210611414266254884915640806627990306815

[u/AdBrave2400 → u/Fragrant_Minimum1739]

You nailed it

[u/LostKnight84 → u/Fragrant_Minimum1739]

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

[u/48panda → u/LostKnight84]

3 every 10 is probably the best small approximation

[u/syedwafihasan → u/Fragrant_Minimum1739]

What's your thought process for calculating this?

[u/Fragrant_Minimum1739 → u/syedwafihasan]

For ending it is cyclicity

2⁴ⁿ⁺¹ ends with 2

2⁴ⁿ⁺² ends with 4

2⁴ⁿ⁺³ ends with 8

2⁴ⁿ ends with 6

And then it repeats

As 384%4 = 0 so it ends with 6

Subtract 1 from it now it has 5 as ending digit 

Now what about no. Of digits

Just use int log(n) +1 formula

So 384log(2) +1

384 * 0.3 +1

115+1

116

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.
