Directory.io - Now with balances!

[emrebey]

I don't agree, just because we don't have the enough hardware atm, it doesn't mean we won't have it in the future either.

there is no need instantly brute force a 256 bit ECDSA key. raising the possibility is a big thing. and this possibility raises every time we add a new address w/ balance to the network already.

You're saying "it won't be possible" is like this:
...

I am saying nothing of the sort. There is a huge difference between the two.  Look at the math and try to understand what it is saying.

(And btw, Gates denies saying that).

Yeah, I don't think he understands the magnitude of the amount of Bitcoin addresses.

I understand the magnitude of the amount of possible bitcoin addresses and I feel safe for today

but for 20 years later, I have no idea. I really don't get how you think it's never possible to brute force collisions.

MD5 was considered safe just like 10-20 years ago, and today nobody uses it.

why do you think technology will stay same?

I'm going to make an ASIC for this, lol.

The same reason Moore's Law is incorrect.

I would usually caution against installing any Chrome extensions, because they update silently, and can include various keylogging stuff.

Absolutely, always be careful when you install  extensions they could steal from your online bitcoin wallets.

If anyone is scared of using a Chrome extension you can always use Fiddler to append the CORS header to your HTTP get requests.

None of you have Bitcoin to steal anyway,

Well, at least now we know which addresses have BTC in them
On the downside, nobody will ever find an address with BTC in it.

Wow, fun. I tried it, and all I saw for 50 pages were a bunch of 0s.

Glad you had fun, haha.

That's all it will ever come out to be.

Is this directory only an excerpt or is it containing all existing 1.1488746e+77 Bitcoin addresses and their private keys?

It's not a directory really.

None of this information is saved to a database, it's impossible.

All keypairs are generated on the fly as the page is requested.

[ThePiGuy]

If you're still around, a better idea would be to include a "total received".  I have all the addresses set up for forwarding so that if I catch any of them with bitcoins in them, I'll receive them.

However, it would be cool to see which addresses have received the most over time.

It's only an excerpt. There is no way that someone has 1.1488746e+77 Bitcoin addresses and their private keys at this point in time. I don't know about 10 or 20 years from now, probably there will be some other systems.

I could do that.

I don't think it would help any.

I've been doing this for so long and I haven't stumbled upon anything, lol.

We have stumbled across empty addresses in the middle of Buttcoins.com & Directory.io.

(really)

Hello,

I made a clone of Directory.io but I added the ability to show the balance of the addresses when CORS is enabled in Chrome;

http://btcdirectory.azurewebsites.net/


To enable CORS in Chrome I use this extension:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-control-allow-origi/nlfbmbojpeacfghkpbjhddihlkkiljbi?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog

This is purely for fun, your odds shouldn't even be called odds.

But just in case you happen to stumble on an address with a balance, DON'T STEAL.

Great novelty game. LOL 
How can I set it up to get the information from another location. I have a setup that allows me to get the information from, which is accessible via the browser and I would like to point the 'http://blockchain.info' CORS request there (while keeping the address in link) for retrieval instead of blockchain.info  ( http://replace_this_part_to_my_local/q/address/#keep_this_the_same)

[tres_commas]

Ha. Already found three that were emptied at some point. Does that mean I broke the odds of a lifetime burnt it on empty addresses, or should I go buy a lotto ticket.

No that just means you found the obvious "brainwallets".

"Directory.io - Now with balances!"  I can not see any balance on the site. Did you remove it again?

Did you enable CORS in your browser?

It will only show with CORS enabled.
