All bitcoin private keys leaked
- earthrise 13y agoFeature request: Search by address.
- geal 13y agoThat would be a good idea. That way, everytime someones enters their key, the app can answer that it is not there, check its presence in the database, then get the money :p It will never get the entire list anyway...
- enemeyofyourmom 13y agoLooks like someone implemented this: https://bitcoin-checker.appspot.com/ https://bitcoin-checker.appspot.com/
- Frozenlock 13y agoI hope you all get the joke. :-) Edit: I'm not the creator.
- jnbiche 13y agoWe do, but I guarantee you that some idiot reporter is writing up a story right now about how Bitcoin has been "hacked".
- hrkristian 13y agoWithout the corresponding client, the codes are worthless, and trying to brute force with these as reference would be as useful as brute forcing from scratch?
- TruthElixirX 13y agoI don't. Please elaborate?
- mikeash 13y agoIt's like a "list of all North American phone numbers" that goes: 000-000-0000 000-000-0001 000-000-0002 000-000-0003 ...
- TruthElixirX 13y agoI figured that was it, but wasn't sure. Thank you.

- infruset 13y agoSomeone had better explain it plainly in a top comment before the price of bitcoin goes down uncontrollably :-)
- Spittie 13y agoReminds me of the classic "all the ipv4 address in the world - tools for hackers!.rar" joke. Good job :)
- CryptoJunky 13y agoIt's funny, because there are so many!
- salzig 13y agoand on page 904625697166532776746648320380374280103671755200316906558262375061821325312 (http://directory.io/904625697166532776746648320380374280103671755200316906558262375061821325312 http://directory.io/9046256971665327767466483203803742801036...) you can still click next
- nabla9 13y agoThis is how lazy Haskell programmers solve every problem.
- simbolit 13y agoso basically there is no database, this is just a list of all possible combinations generated on the fly. not that funny.
- ctz 13y agoIf you could compute at infinite speed and merely needed to store all the possible key pairs in secp256k1, you'd need about 10^59 exabytes of storage.
- simonebrunozzi 13y agoThis is why it's a joke: this page is a generator of keys. Every time you load a new page, it gives you another set of possible keys. If you look at the top of the page, when it says "Page 1 out of 904625697166532776746648320380374280103671755200316906558262375061821325312", you can get an idea that this is not that useful at all. Clever. I bet the creator hopes that panic will ensue, and that he/she can buy some extra bitcoins at a lower price. I might buy a few now, shouldn't be a bad idea. :)
- infruset 13y agoBut do you think the intersection of Bitcoin investors who actually know what a private key is and people who don't get the joke is big enough for that?
- simonebrunozzi 13y agoNo idea. These things can generate panic. The creator is probably trying to take advantage of human behavior.
- infruset 13y agoWell it might just be working judging from Mt Gox right now.
- thrill 13y agoNow only if someone could build an index of that second column to the first ...
- panarky 13y agoI just started scraping this site at 100 pages per second. It should be complete in about 2.07896e55 times the age of the universe.
- philfreo 13y agoThe first address has a balance of 0.01 BTC... how would you be able to use it? I tried importing the private key on Blockchain.info but it gives an error of "Error importing private key: TypeError: Cannot call method 'toBigInteger' of null". Coinbase import feature also gives an error.
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- fiveturns 13y agoEverybody found this address. It is a private key with the value of 0. You'll never be able to get that 0.01 BTC.
- philfreo 13y agoWhat's the technical reason why this address is unusable? Can it still receive money?
- sergiocampama 13y agoi want to know too... fyi, the second address has 4 btc...
- philfreo 13y agoClever idea. Care to open source the generator code?
- stevewilhelm 13y agoIt's kind of like fortune cookies that include winning lottery numbers. The problem is they don't tell you which lottery or which day.
- simbolit 13y agoWell this one does. But (to keep within your metaphor) nearly all of them are numbers from either the past or after you will die. And the chances of getting a useful one are smaller than actually playing the lottery.
