What do you mean with "prime number product"? Can you give more details about what you know on that?

Yeah so vitalik was talking about having two primes he can easily generate to get his key. I thought it would be a nice idea to do this instead of seed phrases and have some easy to rember way to generate the primes.

Sorry but it's been almost a year and I can't remember the details, but the primes were used for the eliptic curve encryption scheme.

Is there a way I can specify the prime number product used to generate the public private key pair - on the creation of a wallet address?

I understand that the primes in the product would have to meet certain cirtiaera but that's okay.
