I have found a few private keys by manual collision!!!!!!!!!!

[ImHash]

I need anyone owning these addresses to stop using them because I know their private keys, just stop using them, I will never steal a satoshi from them I'm just letting you know.

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
ImHash in 06/03/2017 I have found the private key of the address which I am signing this message with, and I do not own this address and shall not take any amount from it.

I will sign messages with every and each one of them if needed.

1) All of them are empty and unused for a long period of time. You are not stealing anything from anyone.
2) Signing a staked message from those addresses proves nothing. They could be yours to begin with.
3) The chance of finding a collision is absurdly low, let alone 7 collisions. This leads me to believe that this thread is pure bullshit.
Please elaborate on the steps that you've taken which have led to "these collisions".

[LoyceV]

The only way I really believe you have a collision, is if you can show 2 different private keys that both lead to the same address.

Well, there are two ways of this happening:
1) Person B generates the same privkey as Person A.
2) Person B generated a different privkey which hashes to the same address as that of Person A.
It is extremely hard to prove the first one, and somewhat hard to prove the second one. The person A would have to come forward with the private key(s).

[ImHash]

Please stop snapping at me like this I have a weak heart if I reveal the method which I found them then you will be able to get them as well but I used B6 method to find them. I also found 2 addresses with 2 private keys one is compressed and other one is not.

[Lauda]

if I reveal the method which I found them then you will be able to get them as well but I used B6 method to find them.

This would imply that Bitcoin and basically almost the whole crypto ecosystem is broken. Please stop this nonsense. PM me the alleged *method*.

No sh*t sister I wasn't born yesterday, not that I don't trust you but the fact is that I am unable to find more, I will not even tell this to Satoshi himself, but I'll give you a hint.
I inserted random numbers 99 times to generate them, completely by accident. I think it's time for everyone to dump their unsecured bitcoins then eh?
The only coins if I ever find if belongs to Satoshi then I will share them with 10 people each 1BTC and will keep 40 for my self, OK maybe I run a few nodes with a few of them

[pixie85]

If you really can do it (which i doubt) please continue until you find an address with some coins on it and then share your find. I've personally made at least a hundred addresses, some of which I didn't really care about because they were disposable. You can create probably 2 addresses every second if you click fast enough, so chances of finding one with coins in this haystack is as low as winning a lottery.

[cpfreeplz]

If you're generating addresses using B6 aren't you just basically inputting 99 numbers ranging from 0-5? That doesn't seem like enough entropy to be safe but maybe I'm just a newb with understanding what the real chances are. Oh or maybe they did something like 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000001 etc. That would be pretty stupid if someone did, although I suppose someone in the entire world may have tried it. I would say trying easy numbers like this are probably how you found some addresses, correct?

Oh:

1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm = 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000001

Was this Satoshi's address?

I just found 1 collision with the first one I tried. I found your method. Also please note, this is the same as making your online banking password "1" so whoever is actively using this is pretty nuts. It was just used in May!

[ImHash]

Damn now I'm exposed the whole point of me posting this publicly is exactly to let such people know this is not the way to generate their addresses.
Now I have a question:
Is it possible to find collisions like this using B6 even if someone never generated an address with this method but we could find their private keys?
I even posted this on rico666 collision thread but he was rude and deleted my post.

I don't see why not. Either way you are using the 99 digits to create the private key so... this could work with any address. I hope no one tried something else like 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000002

Couldn't these addresses still be encrypted under BIP38?

[freedomno1]

The manual collision entries could have been related to the blockchain wallet issue a few years ago if someone messed with RNG.
It could just be a bugging exchange wallet though but I don't see the origin address for these wallets so hard to say.

Does happen rarely if someone code is crud lol... although I prefer the trolling than actual finds :p.

the whole point of it seems more like trolling. because people already know there is no way of finding a collision and those who are not familiar with bitcoin won't come to the conclusion based on the thing you wrote!
the rico666's so called collision is a stupid thing that is exactly finding these keys that are left there with a high chance of being found. these are all small numbers.
and we have not yet forgotten the rootkit in his code which opened up "doors in the back" in computers of those who ran it

if I reveal the method which I found them then you will be able to get them as well but I used B6 method to find them.

step 1: open a new tab
step 2: type in this url directory.io
step 3: choose a couple and select and press Ctrl+c
step 4: come here and press Ctrl+v

I'll just leave this here.

- snip -
for instance 1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm has seen a few transactions (its empty now), can anyone hazard it's private key?

Oh and this.

That's roughly as likely as using any other method for generating private keys.
You find trivial ones (like the 1) that people used either because of novelty or because of stupidity/ignorance.

Was this Satoshi's address?

No, Satoshi isn't an idiot.

does these collisions work for any other alts like ETH for example? Or Just BTC?

[digaran]

You will have to do it like this:
insert 1 with 98 zeros in front of it and then 11 with 97 zeroes, 111 with 96 0s and repeat the same thing with 1-2-3-4-5- and when you are done finding used address you'll have to check and see if it has any balance, you'll end up dead and yet to find a full address.lol

[franky1]

Yawwwwwn

more drama that just goes over the nonsense of a few years ago, all related to...

directory.io

its not natural collision. it was 'prepared' / drama collision.

what some dont realise is the first few thousand addresses had at the time a little bit of funds placed on the early numbers randomly and purposefully as a kind of "omg they are active" tempter of creating fake drama of 'omg collission happen alot'

but anyway spend your life going through every key, ask your great great great grandkids to carry on your project after you pass. you wont get far, and thats the point

[adaseb]

Basically those are very low entropy private keys. Pretty much what this contest is about

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306983.0;all

Same public keys as you found.

[franky1]

There's no way you can found private keys of bitcoin address by manual collision unless you found weakness/pattern how bitcoin address/private key is generated in certain bitcoin wallet OR you could break ECDSA easily.

ETFbitcoin.....
Directory.io.. even you should remember how that drama played out
