Isn't that address valid, just probably the hardest of any to get?
Wouldn't they all have an equal chance of being guessed? edit: provided you were using random passwords, instead of going through a wordlist or something

No, it's not. It's just another vanity address.
Since the associated public key is all zeros, then this wouldn't be a vanity address, right?

It can be vainty, but it is astronomical chance... Most probably it is some "proof of burn" address.

There is a beautiful Bitcoin-address 1111111111111111111114oLvT2Its Hash160 is 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Most interesting is that people send coins to that address, then nobody will get these coins I wonder if there's a leeding "one" in the hash that isn't seen? (Or a trail one at that?)

Someone accidentally sent 40 BTC to that address Is it possible to create an address by sending amounts to it?

Seeing that there was 40BTC added to it, I would've cashed that bitch out now.
edit: 51,114.56855885BTC now
I checked on Preev and found it is worth XX,XXX now.
I gonna go after it if I can figure out what to do. I dont know what to do but I will try to get it. IDK how you found this address. Wish I kept a few OLD addresses I had YEARS ago.

No, there is no private key for this address. Read the OP, it is simply the address you get when you calculate what the Bitcoin address would be if the public key was all 0's. All of the funds sent to it are unspendable.

There are plenty of other beauitful addresses Try hash160 = 0000000000000000000000000000000000000001, and so on Maybe one day we will be able to crack those (ie crack sha256 + crack ripemd160 + crack secp256K1)

It is crazy that someone just burned 40btc sending to this address. Wonder if it was an accident or what their reasoning was.

Yes, we can generate address that have few letters we like. Only few (5-6 tops).
