This asshole published my private key!

[RawDog]

I can't believe this.  Some idiot published my private key.  Now everyone can simply take my bitcoin.  How can we let him get away with this!!  By the way, your private key in on this site too.

I demand he immediately pull down this site.  We are ALL exposed.

Crisis!!! Oh well, he can do what he wants but he is just wasting his time. Good luck for finding one collision.

[electronicash]

i'm pretty sure mine isn't there though so there's just few of you who might just get emptied.
how the hell did he get these private key?

This guy has been doing this since awhile ago. Basically he is just using 1, 2, 3, 4,... to generate the private key then the public key. not sure if he is still doing it but on the other hand, he is also demonstrating that brute-forcing private key will get you nowhere.

He is a rat bastard and he must have stolen the master list somehow.  All I know is I am not comfortable having the key to my millions of $$ right on the internet on a very convenient site that anyone can use to look it up.  This pisses me off.  There is no way bitcoin is secure if all the keys are published in the open like that.

Hey.... keep calm bro, Does there is private key on the list? I think this generate at random. are you sure your private key is published in here. if your private key is published in that's site... it's dangerous.

I dont think there is a private key listed on this site. He has just randomly created the private keys which are not the actual private keys. Nothing to panic here.

They are real private keys. It's just there's so many pages of them (904625697166532776746648320380374280100293470930272690489102837043110636675 pages) that you are likely to grow old and die before you find the address you're looking for.

Even getting a random address with balance in them would be harder than winning the lottery. Except the ones on the front page which gets some bitcoins every now and then only to be moved away milliseconds after.

you are either:
1) an idiot/troll
2) bought this hero account account and have no idea how bitcoin works and how private keys are genrated. also have been asleep for the last 3 years and didn't see direnctory.io
3) or you are trying to spread FUD, maybe because you are desperate to buy bitcoin $1 lower than current price because you missed the chance.

so which one are you?

Say what you want asshole, your private keys are on there too.  I don't like people publishing my private keys.  The security of this thing is total bullshit.

1) an idiot/troll

Me? a troll?  Have you been asleep for the last three years?

[Mishik]

Lol this guys' been on here for a while, just spamming shit. Just remember the chance of generating a single privkey, and multiply that by all the possible private keys and the amount of which are actually funded. That's a rare chance.

[longbob72]

Can you find them? If not then go search and come back when you've find them. Although from what I read on the first post, it appears that you have found it before creating this thread. Can you post the page and the method you used to find it? Or did you lie to spread FUD?

[helloeverybody]

Ive got hundreds of private and public keys from generating vanity addresses and obviously never collided with another address, i wouldn't be too bothered with this list . If anyone's worried about it there's no need. It doesn't actually contain anyone's private key.

Then you are the moron.  It contains EVERYONES private keys.  furthermore, it is mathematically provably true that this list contains yours and everyone else's private keys.

i am literary rolling on the floor laughing.

i will just leave these here if any new member by any chance fell for OP's FUD, i suggest you to read these two to understand what really is going on.
a simple google search gives you proper answers:

BadBear (Administrator) explaining on bitcointalk in 2013

what the hell is this site, and how does it relate to the security of my bitcoins?

I'm not sure what the purpose of that site is, unless it's a joke. It isn't a database (that would be impossible), it's generating the pages in response to queries. So possibly an attempt at a scam, as in you look for your private key, and the holder of the list uses the generated pages to narrow down the possible addresses that have actually been used (there are 2^160 possible addresses, or 1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,976). Since people have trouble putting that in perspective, there are only 2^63 grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth.

The total number of bitcoin addresses in use is so much smaller than the amount of possible addresses, that something like this is completely and utterly useless, and it would also be trivial to expand the number of possible addresses in the future. I laughed when I saw that website, cause I just know people who don't know the math are furiously putting page numbers hoping to find one . You'll likely witness the heat death of the universe before that happens.

mmm you are serious?
because an hero member that doesn't know how btc work and even that it's impossible generate ALL private keys and store in a site .... sounds a bit stranger to me

Q: So you don't store a database of every single key?
A: No.

Q: All keys are generated on the fly, based upon the page number?
A: Yes.

Also, try multiplying the number of pages by 128 (that's the number of addresses per page) and compare the result to 2^160. There's much more spaces there than the number of possible bitcoin address

[yenxz]

Bitcoin private key database on directory.io is not new site,i am know about this site since last 2 years ago,when i get some clam for trade it with my private key on blockchain addrress,its why i am not interest or shocking to see this,i think its fine even its was true,because my bitcoin keep secure even my private keys listed there

Nobody said he 'stores' the private key.  I don't think he has stored these in some giant database.  That would be stupid.  All I said is he published my key.  And he did.  And he published your key too.  You just don't know which page it is on.  But I assure you, your key is there.  And everyone else's key is there also. 

Don't be fucking stupid.
