List of compromised private keys?
December 16, 2013, 07:51:22 AM
#1
Has anybody compiled a list of publicly compromised private keys?
e.g. whatever private key (too lazy to find out) that corresponds to the 'correct horse battery staple' public address:
https://blockchain.info/address/1JwSSubhmg6iPtRjtyqhUYYH7bZg3Lfy1T
is obviously publicly known.
I believe such a list would be beneficial to the community as it could be used as a database that clients could reference and prevent naive users from potentially big mistakes.

Such a list would generally not be useful since the chances of any decent key generator generating a "compromised" key is practically 0.

Would maybe be usefull to services that accept bitcoin don't accept money that might has been stolen.
If that list exists, the sites may be sued cause of this.

I remember reading a post long time ago that someone has generated thousands and thousands of brainwallets with common words and created a script to move the bitcoin sent to them within a few seconds.
So, you should never create a brainwallet with common words.

IMO, that won't work at all.
People will probably just mix their stolen bitcoin more carefully, and you can't find the owners of the mixing services.

Wow, I didn't know such a list existed! This is interesting. Although that site requires you to solve a captcha in order to retrieve the private key. It would be better for software solutions that intend to warn their users about a compromised key to be able to have a locally accessable database!
