Thank you Pieter - that was really helpful. I realize now that I was = thinking of a preimage attack but had mistakenly assumed that the = birthday bound applied... So the unit operation: [genkeypair; = ripemd160(sha256(pubkey));check_utxoset] would need to be performed = 2.9*10^42 and not (as I had first calculated) 2.4*10^18.=20 Oops. My bad.=
