Title: Need help with key generation Post by: pandalion98 on August 24, 2014, 02:10:19 PM I have a massive list of bitcoin addresses with their private keys in this format:
private key (hex format) public key compressed public key Now what I want to do is: 1. Get rid of the public key and compressed public key part (maybe move them to a separate file? If possible, yes) 2. Convert ALL hex private keys to WIF private keys (5XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) 3. Import all/part of them into electrum (or other client which doesn't need the full blockchain) My rig: Windows 7 64-bit (can also install ubuntu anytime) 4GB ram a lot of hard diskspace Any help would be awesome ;D Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: shorena on August 24, 2014, 02:53:05 PM like this?
Code: Private Key Address Compressed Address you are not the first, you will not be the last. Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: itsAj on August 24, 2014, 04:23:35 PM My question is why do you have a massive list of private keys? I don't see any use for this other then to mine potential brain wallets hoping that someone will send funds to one of your addresses.

Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: CozyLife on August 24, 2014, 04:47:30 PM Who's private keys are they?
UPDATE: I decided to search for some of the stuff that shorena posted and I found http://directory.io/ which lists mostly generated Bitcoin addresses to fill out fake pages. All you need to do is run a PHP script to generate a lot of addresses per page, then cache the pages server side. Every page you visit will appear to be a valid page and you can't go past the number at the top. In order to make it appear legitimate, some fake private keys were added with legitimate Bitcoin addresses next to it. Keep in mind that any Bitcoin address that CAN be used on the network is valid. The Bitcoin addresses are not stored in the blockchain, only your wallet. You can generate Bitcoin addresses until you're blue in the face, and who knows, maybe a couple of the private keys on that website are legitimate by chance. The Bitcoin blockchain only stores transaction data. Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: Abdussamad on August 24, 2014, 04:54:05 PM you are not the first, you will not be the last.

So, just the first N private keys.
I see nothing unethical about that. The probability any of those three million address have ever been used, are being used and will ever be used is an insignificant amount above zero. More power to him. If this is a threat to Bitcoin then it does not deserve to live. I suggest he connect to the blockchain.info servers through their API and dump them all in a wallet there. Set all those addresses to sweep and wait (forever) for some BTC to show up. Electrum is not designed for this. Use a different wallet.

When you check an address balance or a transaction status online, which block explorer do you use ? If you run a service depending on a third party API, which block explorer's API you rely upon ? Update: I'm listing out the outcome of this thread here... 1. https://blockchain.info/ 2. https://blockr.io/ 3. https://blockexplorer.com/ 4. https://www.biteasy.com/ 5. https://chain.so/btc 6. https://helloblock.io/ 7. http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer 8. https://bkchain.org/btc 9. http://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/ 10. http://www.blocktrail.com If u query all of them in a round-robin manner to 3M+ get address values, all of them will ban your IP range for attempt to DDOS. The only way to do this is having the blockchain locally, have it transformed to a local Oracle/MySQL instance with address and its balances in 2 column and query it locally. That way, U'll miss the real time updated values of Bitcoin addresses though. Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: pandalion98 on August 25, 2014, 11:30:29 AM -snip- I'm not monitoring.

You wait for 24 hrs. Then you pick up the net. Some people MUST have lost some coins, bills, etc. Max 2 hrs of work each day will bring you BIG PROFITS!! Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: shorena on August 25, 2014, 05:44:52 PM Dont be silly it wont "destroy" their API. Worst case is an IP ban if you do not limit the requests.
High Schools have no Mailaddresses? You could also see what the limits are and check the balances in a prioritised fashion according to those limits. On the other hand round robin is easier. Now its 7 million? I thought 3 million... and why check periodically, what is the paper about that you need to check periodically? As it was said before the balance will probably be 0 for all of them anyway. I start to feel that either the paper is bullshit to get ppl to help you or there is an XY problem. Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: BurtW on August 25, 2014, 06:22:22 PM The only way to do this "right" is to set up your own computer with your own copy of the full blockchain, running a peer-to-peer node, and keeping its own personal UTXO database.
Set up a script to either periodically run through all of your If you ever get any BTC (you won't) then you can choose to either white or black hat it. If you are really not trying to steal you will then give back the BTC as soon as you find the owner. If you are really just a low life scum thief then you keep it. All of this can be done with any modest computer with a modest disk drive, modest memory, and an internet connection. It does not even have to run 24/7. You could probably run it a few hours a week and get the desired effect, whatever that is. Don't burden the Electrum wallet, blockchain.info, any of the other block explorers with you project. Just do it right. Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: itsAj on August 26, 2014, 01:52:51 AM -snip- I'm not monitoring. I'm just gonna check dem balances, if there are balances.

Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: BurtW on August 26, 2014, 02:12:08 AM I think he pretty much contradicted himself here. If he wanted to monitor the addresses then all he would need is the public address, not the private keys. The fact that he generated the private keys in the first place means that he wants to monitor and steal funds from the addresses. He said he is interested in the random number generator.Assume for the moment a wallet was very stupid and instead of using a cryptographically secure 256 random number generator they use one of the system random functions with only 32 bits! All of the addresses generated would be from private keys in the 0x00000001 to 0xFFFFFFFF range - the range he is scanning. In order to do this test he must create the Bitcoin addressed from the first N private keys. He is on the right track. Now even if you have a good 256 bit random number generator but you fail to take the size of the finite field into account then the random numbers generated above the finite field length will wrap around and alias to - you guessed it - the first N addresses. In this case this would mean that the first N addresses will be slightly more likely to occur given a good random number generator but buggy code that does not throw away the results above the finite field size and uses them for keys. The difference in distribution is pretty insignificant so I expect no BTC from this bug. But he could get some BTC from the first bug. This is a If he gets a few BTC and discovers a wallet with a horrible random number generator more power to him! Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: BurtW on August 26, 2014, 02:20:24 AM Ideally he should set up to sweep Bitcoins from all the Bitcoin addresses produced from the first 232 private keys.
This would be a sweeper monitoring the first 4,294,967,296 Bitcoin addresses. Totally possible with a decent machine and a bit of code. Please let us know if you ever find any BTC!

Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: pandalion98 on September 18, 2014, 12:42:08 PM My question is why do you have a massive list of private keys?

OP: How is it going? Did you ever get all of the 232 addresess generated? Did you find any BTC? Here's the report... Seems like everyone is using good RNG's. I already submitted the paper to my recipient. Final stats: * 22,219,774 total addresses generated (from privkey 0). List contains the info in this format (no quotes): ------ "address , privkey-in-hex" * BTC 0.0006000 found in dust outputs (did not bother getting them. most were 1 to 10 satoshi outputs) * Found BTC 0.0101092 in address 16QaFeudRUt8NYy2yzjm3BMvG4xBbAsBFM (privkey 0) ------ Cannot spend due to a quirk in the bitcoin system/wallet software/base58 decoding scheme My research is finished for now. p.s. Do you know someone/do you have a list of all addresses used? Or a list of just addresses with balances would be nice :) (up to block 321341) Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: amaclin on September 19, 2014, 10:42:14 AM Quote Final stats: * 22,219,774 total addresses generated (from privkey 0).

Quote p.s. Do you know someone/do you have a list of all addresses used? It is not a problem to create list of used in blockchain addresses. I did it several times in past. Right now I do not have up-to-date copy.Or a list of just addresses with balances would be nice :) (up to block 321341) There were around ~40 mln standard addresses used right now. (~1 gb in plaintext) There are also thousands of msig-addresses (which starts with '3') Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: pandalion98 on September 19, 2014, 11:05:38 AM Quote Final stats: * 22,219,774 total addresses generated (from privkey 0).

Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: amaclin on September 19, 2014, 11:49:57 AM Quote What exactly? Sorry, my fault. directory.io says that the addresses for [000..000] are 1MsHWS1BnwMc3tLE8G35UXsS58fKipzB7a / 1Q1pE5vPGEEMqRcVRMbtBK842Y6Pzo6nK9 I do not know how to calculate public key for invalid privateKey 16QaFeudRUt8NYy2yzjm3BMvG4xBbAsBFM also known as "address for zero-key" Let me sweep unspent dust outputs? ::) Reducing the number of uxto - is good! Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: BurtW on September 19, 2014, 12:41:52 PM If I remember correctly zero is not a valid pivate key. One is the first valid private key and results is G (G = 1*G). Two is G+G, three is G+G+G, four is G+G+G+G, etc. It should be very easy and very fast to create all the public keys for the private keys 1 through 232: start with G then keep adding G and store away the sums and hash each sum for the addresses.

People sent BTC to this address, but no one can spend it. yet ;) Title: Re: Need help with key generation Post by: HELP.org on September 20, 2014, 01:49:07 AM Not sure if this will help you.
