Title: Newbie's Nightmare: How to Crack a Solid 2048-Bit Key in Under 30 Minutes (Spoiler Alert: It Ain't Easy)

"Hey guys, just tried to run a 'brute force' attack on a 2048-bit key using my rig and I was shocked by how slow it was. I've got 16 cores, 64GB RAM, and a couple of top-tier GPUs, but still, cracking that key took me over an hour. I'm curious to see if anyone else has tried this and what kind of specs they used."

"Dude, don't even get me started on trying to brute force a 2048-bit key. I once tried cracking a 128-bit key and it took my GPU like 5 days to get through a fraction of it - talk about a waste of electricity. Anybody got a good recommendation for a hardware wallet to store my sensitive keys?"

"lol what's the point of trying to crack a 2048-bit key in 30 minutes? That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack in a thunderstorm. The whole premise of the thread seems like a joke to me, am I missing something?"
