This function takes a Bitcoin wallet address as input and uses a brute-force approach
to find the corresponding private key. It generates random private keys, calculates
their corresponding public keys, and checks if the generated public key matches the
given wallet address. If a match is found, the private key is returned.
Note: This function uses a brute-force approach and may take a long time to find the
private key, depending on the complexity of the wallet address.
Parameters:
- wallet_address (str): The Bitcoin wallet address for which the private key needs to be found.
Returns:
str: The private key corresponding to the given wallet address.
Raises:
- ValueError: If the wallet address is not a valid Bitcoin address.
Examples:
>>> find_private_key("1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa")
'5Km8PqzvduHeovZG7y6asKtjz6AyBbjyQDzS4xR8h8Z'
>>> find_private_key("invalid_address")
ValueError: Invalid Bitcoin wallet address.
