Who from the forum tried to use this data in order to access the wallet? Just for the sake of interest? Now if at least one person gets such access, then I'll start worrying about my coins

Seriously? 904625697166532776746648320380374280100293470930272690489102837043110636675 pages of Bitcoin private key database? LOL. I'd be damned. This is a typical stupid stunt to pull when you are jobless. I can't even expect a sane human in his or her right sense to believe this or get scared. Moreover, that dude need to take a chill pill.
And Myetherwallet also replied in Vitalik's tweet that it can also be released like in the same case with Eth and here's their faq https://myetherwallet.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/couldnt-everybody-put-in-random-private-keys-look-for-a-balance-and-send-to-their-own-addressI would say that this is a post that will make stupid people panic and I suggest to never try to search yours there because the admin or somewhat of that site might review the search log.

That's only very few of all the bitcoin wallets out there. To connect those keys to a bitcoin wallet is like finding a needle in a whole planet.

I heard directory.io before and i think its just a joke they don't even have a search bar to find your address you are just wasting your time if you are looking for your own private key there it takes too much time to find due to none search bar.. If this is true many people not trusting bitcoin to hold their money for a long time.. But i believe to the owner that he can keep this domain alive for a long time. .

Such a large number of private keys and check all of those bitcoin but upon checking it has a new transaction few days ago it means the bitcoin address was used before i saw one that has 4 btc receive but no remaining balance.. i think this is just a dump bitcoin addresses after use they are dumping it for the sake of their anonymity..

That was a complete shitty post, because Bill Gates said that Bitcoin is better than currency, do you think a multi-billionaire like him is stupid enough to say that? Even if someone really tries hard with all their "super-powers" to find an address with something in it, it would not take years, but light-years to find one with some coins in it.
As they say, talk is cheap Whether Bill Gates is stupid or not is irrelevant since he may say anything he pleases, it won't matter a thing until he invests a few billion dollars in Bitcoin himself ("don't believe anything you hear"). So far he prefers dollars, not bitcoins, and I don't remember that Microsoft was accepting bitcoins as payment for their software. There have been various as well as numerous rumors, someone even claimed that he had seen some code which was assumed to work with Bitcoin, but the thing is Microsoft is not involved with Bitcoin in any meaningful way

Because of such tweets and so many beginners stop trusting bitcoin. But no one can provide evidence that this information is true. Most likely the author of the tweet just joked

Well according to my understanding there is no reality in this. I agree with you that this is just a fud and nothing else. How could it be possible? People still talking about the Bitcoin like this just to create a doubt wave so that they can get some benefits of it, But I don’t think it will really work because most of the people related to the Bitcoin knows about the truth and the strength of the Bitcoin.

Guys get real, take a look at the page number. That number is way to huge for anyone to even imagine. The amount of addresses is enormous. The chance of finding an address with bitcoins in it is so damn small it's impossible to do it. Good luck finding an active address in that list.

well even if this was a real deal, don't you think that someone would automate that like making a scrypt or a program for that task to go smoother? But it's not.

seriously! this is such a shitty move by Vitalik Buterin! meanwhile his project, ethereum, is filled with bugs and a terrible code if you ever bother to check it. it has already been exploited a couple of times and each time led to loss of millions of dollars ... ... and the tweets something the most fake thing in history of bitcoin! real mature of him.

Can I scare you even more? There is a program called "Large Bitcoin Collider" that is described here (and discussed here at Bitcointalk) that is even better than directory.io and searches for collisions. It has already found a couple of addresses with balance! PANIC!!!!!!!!

I've never seen large bitcoin collider nor anyone else document their attempts to break private keys in a way that is legitimate. At least not legitimate in my humble & amateur opinion. They don't mention the number of keys they generate over a set period of time to give an indication of how long it might take to break a single key. If brute forcing keys were an issue, core might be forced implement a lockout if a number of transaction attempts failed due to bad keys. AFAIK that's not a difficult fix which could confirm its not an issue.

Lol that database is damn to large, but the most important thing that people can be victims is to search there by private key to see if their address is there or not!! I think that that the owner of that website is just joking and making people to search for their addresses or/and their private key and that could be a prank! Q: Can I search by private key? A: Yes. @see API documentation.
Q: Should I search by private key? A: No. I log and steal everything.
Exactly he is just trying to trap people typing their private key to search for their address. He is just trolling. That list is way too huge to find any address with bitcoin.

That is, access to what exactly should they block and what transaction attempts do you refer to? I don't really know what you mean but that would obviously be against Bitcoin principles anyway. As I understand these efforts at cracking the private keys, you just download the whole blockchain to your computer, then run a key generating code and see if the public key you thus generated matches any in the blockchain. If it does and it has balance (the wallet it corresponds to), then you hit a jackpot. So what are you going to lockout here?
