guys calm down on Vitalik -- I seriously doubt he is trying to FUD. It's not like anyone would take this seriously... and he has $100M. It's just a joke.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

He probobly just want to decrease the value of BTC so he can buy very large amount, and probobly to earn some bucks... If he is famous enough, he can do that and the whole ratio of currency starts lowering, because people are afraid...

Move funds to SegWit keys which starts with a 3 and then ask them to go and find the private keys for them as well.  All I could find there was some addresses belonging to mtgox wallets and are only on the first few pages and the rest are empty. |

I am not sure Vitalik Buterin is trolling or just being serious,on seeing the tweet i thought it was an old one,but damn he tweeted it today and it is a known fact that the directory is holding many private keys which are used and there is nothing to be worried to be frank,is he scaring the new investors .  |

That's not scary at all, many seniors do know about that for a long time. Just a piece of advice: don't waste your time searching for a wallet with balance, you won't find anything at all.  |

It is a complete waste of time checking out the private keys because i am sure you wont find a single key which has bitcoins in it,since the site lacks a search function i was not able to search specific wallet address and most of the wallets displayed have zero transactions . |

It took a lot of computing power to generate this database. it was clearly written there that means its clear that his program was not finding used bitcoin addresses insted it was creating new bitcoin addresses into the network. it seems very frustrating that one person created so many addresses and its just a waste now. i have seen this site a while ago like around a year ago maybe. this is basically the person who is trying to spam the bitcoin network.

He posted a link to that site without clear irony. That just screams "complete dickhead" from the rooftops. If only ETH was actually a decentralised project, maybe I'd start putting money into it. But I feel alone here as someone who expects ETH to go up, but isn't investing in it because it would be supporting that clown. Everyone else either thinks ETH is going to collapse or thinks it's the future - neither is true. ETC is a much better project anyway. Decentralized and fixed supply and not in a huge bubble. Still cheap to accumulate. |

Seems like a harmless joke to me too, and educational for those not familiar with key generation. |

It doesn't work like that; You don't "create" Bitcoin addresses. All the addresses on that site are simply generated on the fly when you access a certain page. It doesn't spam the network unless the addresses are actually used in a transaction. |

Why don't you try using every single one of them, that is so many that even your grandson will be having a hard time continuing what you have done. We all know that private keys are hard to crack, as you can see on these site, and also, if you observed enough, you can see these is a prank when you look at it's pages, the naker of these site just literally list down the possible Bitcoin Adress and Private keys of a wallet. |

I think this is more poking fun at the page. Also I think the site itself is a joke, though tbh I can't tell

WTF that tweet made my heart pump for a while then i'm relieved after i read the messages below.
Like anybody else here, i searched my own address. I realized those are only vanitygen addresses btw. All the private keys start with "5". My non-vanitygen/pure random address's private key is starting with a letter and i'm sure it is not there.
Fuck u vitaliq, i hate you. Even more now.

I'm sure you must've gone through the very same stage as well. |

No lol. First of all directory.io doesn't actually store that many keys on their site. We have discussed this before. They only generate keys as you press the different pages. And think about it - even if they do store all the bitcoin private keys that will ever exist, you have to have so much computing power to browse through all of them. There are bitcoin colliders out there but no more than 10 private keys containing bitcoin has ever been found. Compare this to credit card fraud rates or your perfectmoney account getting hacked - it's much more secure. I don't know why Vitalik is posting this. To spread FUD and get people to invest in his centralised shitcoin? Most probably. |

Here's the deal, this website supposedely contains all possible private keys for ONE address. It'd be impossible to skim it to find the key of it. Your chances of doing so are close to zero.
Thing is through, it's a nice way to visualize the impossibility of guessing the private key of an address. But really nothing more than that!

Exactly - this site is nothing more than a service like bitaddress. It generates a bitcoin address and private keys on the spot. In fact if you are willing to take the risk you could probably go to a page in the middle somewhere, get a private key and address and start using it(do it at your own risk because the code is unaudited). No way they were going to store all the database of bitcoin private keys in one website. It's misleading as hell. |

No, this site isn't even new. It's been around since at least 2015 which was the first time i saw it. I don't blame you for freaking out, i thought that bitcoin was hacked as well. Why is Mr. Buterin mentioning it now? Is he trying to spread FUD and get people to invest in Ethereum? Probably. This is nothing new and nothing to worry about - to go through this so called "database" will take thousands of centuries with current technology at least. |
