OK, this vulnerability got me thinking and really should be read by everyone so that we can all broaden our views a little bit. Bitfools commentary really made me laugh and I agree with him to certain extent, but I wouldn't say it is a fairy tale - it is obvious that this lady/guy has put some effort and at least I am glad there was a through research made by blockchain.info.

This case and case of Large Bitcoin collider shows us that, no matter how safe we believe the technology to be, we have to continue to read, research, study, and adapt. Always remember that the producers of Titanic believed it to be unsinkable and remember that the human race has a vast history of adopting something it had not been ready for yet (nuclear energy for example....).

Mind=blown

Wrote a couple of scripts and tested myself. Shit is real. Take a look at this guy, for example. Last transaction only a couple of days ago:

https://blockchain.info/address/1HZwkjkeaoZfTSaJxDw6aKkxp45agDiEzN

"Jeff was here" is all over the blockchain. Guess he (she/it) has a compiled majestic wallet with a script that immediately transfers any incoming transaction to his own safe addresses.

Congrats Jeff.

yes I also have been aware of that .. when I was found the private key made from the bitcoin address created from the "genesis-address transaction(block0)" .. and found there's a  transactions in that address.

.by the way ..who is the owner of this "vanity address eater" bot

sha256(666) leads to 1Az4F5yC19WZt5XMuc6x11xJM81VcJyHQA which in 2014 received 666 satoshi. Hell, that's funny.

 I was trying to do the same steps pointed in the original article, but first of all I tried to get the whole database from the blockchain.
I used ABE library to copy the data from bitcoinCore to a SQL database, unfortunately, It take a looooong time to make this job. So, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make this job as faster as possible. I'm trying to do this as exercise. I'm new in the bitcoin world, but i'm used to programming in a python and C/C++ throughout my career.
Could anyone explain me the faster way to put the whole blockchain into a database?

Thanks for your time!

I've read your post and seen that you wrote a script for this, can I see the script that you wrote? I would like to know how it works and reverse engineer this particular script.
Please pm me. Thanks!

If I were able to find a private key from an address with a decent amount I would really consider to go Robin Hood-ish on it...
There are so many people in desperate need that it would worth it

From the digging the user /u/n0mdep did on reddit, it appears to be an old PHP library issue, wallets using this library may be a possible source. One of the addresses ("1JCuJXsP6PaVrGBk3uv7DecRC27GGkwFwE") is mentioned in a 2017 PHP bitcoin shopping cart issue. https://github.com/coinables/Bitcoin-NoAPI-Shopping-Cart/issues/2

I would like to know as well. What software he used to store database and also what program to manipulate/query it

Anyone know what program to create a bot with?

I did something similar with Ethereum:

d4e56740f876aef8c010b86a40d5f56745a118d0906a34e69aec8c0db1cb8fa3 is the Genensis hash of Ethereum, which is also used as the private key of this address: 0xf7656Eeec49cC7c2DBee3c08c9f203B25F093cDF

The Merkle root of Bitcoin block 229670 f7a9b2306585fb4801e4b61424dd5523c50f18b2b10011583f265b1d70f481ea is the private key of this address: 0xb8629E8E54f393DCAc2990e59887594C94A7E45F

The hash of Bitcoin block 478610 00000000000000000028389f5b592cbf08ca0451c675432f6060f97d8425fe51 is the private key of this address: 0x91f5A4A03614F131B36671006511f75580c4E550 (a user on BitcoinTalk.org used it, I contacted him to change it)

SHA-256 of the Bitcoin Genesis address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa, which is 31a9d2e8a70a091d65a58d2a08f8833abf5e8fa1d741c5400c538c38668cb83e, is the private key of this address: 0x700683cFcFE580318CB338E1a8AfCe6C25bB8ceB

I didn't check txids of either Ethereum or Bitcoin if they've been used as private keys, didn't check token addresses, contracts, and I only used Bitcoin addresses that currently have some BTC in them, not every address ever used, so there still might be some addresses to be found.

Needless to say, there's nothing in these addresses any more.

This is mind boggling, thought provoking and quite an eye opening piece. The author is simply genius and those folks exploiting this are geniuses too. Wished I know how to code, I will be a white hacker like this dude right here.  Grin

Actually they are not all empty... several have "dust" and one did have a transaction just few weeks ago...

Experiment 1
------------

My first experiment was to see if anyone used a block hash as a private key. That would actually be a nifty way to 'compress' 32 bytes in your head.  You would only have to remember the block height (which is only maybe 6 digits) and the corresponding larger 32 byte number would be saved for all time in the chain itself!

Results: Success! I found 46 addresses that had some amount of bitcoin sent to them between 2009 and 2016.  As expected, these all had 0 balances either because the owner had taken them back or they were discovered by someone else.

Here are two examples. You can use blockchain.info to see these hex values are actually block hashes from early in the chain.  This happened on/off up until mid-2016.

1Buc1aRXCqdh6r7PRYWPAy3EtVFw5Ue5dk 000000006a625f06636b8bb6ac7b960a8d03705d1ace08b1a19da3fdcc99ddbd

I will be conducting the same experiments and would like to share the results with you. The first experiment as was stated by the OP was to use a block hash as a private key. He/she was even kind enough to provide two examples. I tried to reproduce the findings only to find out the claim simply isn't true:

Code:
Used as private key    : 000000006a625f06636b8bb6ac7b960a8d03705d1ace08b1a19da3fdcc99ddbd
Remark                 : block hash from block #2

OP address found       : 1Buc1aRXCqdh6r7PRYWPAy3EtVFw5Ue5dk
Found compressed       : 1BVwDR5zkyz9zEVvMnETQdQcupHZrTx5rR
Found uncompressed     : 1C85rYD83TgHB8kAWZvF2UvUBPjrLphwCy
So no match found here. 1Buc1aRXCqdh6r7PRYWPAy3EtVFw5Ue5dk as reported by OP is not generated by using the claimed block hash as a private key.

Code:
Used as private key    : 000000004ebadb55ee9096c9a2f8880e09da59c0d68b1c228da88e48844a1485
Remark                 : block hash from block #4

OP address found       : 1KLZnkqU94ZKpgtcWCRs1mhqtF23jTLMgr
Found compressed       : 16X3KngmmQ1x5roBz71boZ3b55qCRC1D51
Found uncompressed     : 16Aci1HqAAKZtLWRGJAqhfzm8bSFS6X4iB
So no match found here. 1KLZnkqU94ZKpgtcWCRs1mhqtF23jTLMgr as reported by OP is not generated by using the claimed block hash as a private key.

I used every single block hash for blocks 0-536830 as a compressed/uncompressed private key and couldn't find a single one used to generate an address which has been used in the past. Unless I've done some terribly wrong (and if I did please let me know!) I think the claim of OP block hashes have been used as private keys is false!

EDIT: As pointed out by Thirdspace in this thread below my conclusion was not correct. I will let this post up and correct my errors in a follow-up post

Sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path

Experiment 2
------------
Similar to my first experiment, I then searched for addresses that were generated from the merkle root used as a private key.  (BTW, I searched for both compressed/uncompressed keys, so each 32 bytes resulted in two address look-ups from my database).

Results: Yes! I found 6 addresses again up until mid-2016.  Even though every address I found had a 0 balance (again expected), I was having fun with my success!

Example:

13bkBdHRovsBkjM4BUsbcDNr9DCTDcpy9W 6c951c460a4cfe5483863adacafad59e5de7e55876a21857733ca94049d7d10c

Similar to merkle root and block hashes, transaction ids (hashes) also seem to have been used as private keys. Still nothing alarming to me thus far.
I conducted the second experiment myself to check the claims of the OP. I first tried to reproduce the given example:


Code:
Used as private key    : 6c951c460a4cfe5483863adacafad59e5de7e55876a21857733ca94049d7d10c
Remark                 : merkleroot of block 3647

OP address found       : 13bkBdHRovsBkjM4BUsbcDNr9DCTDcpy9W
Found compressed       : 16jhNgoeuthu38TSS4RmuyACUugCnVwuKD
Found uncompressed     : 16kGmzXkysx12qUSRDWruvNng8ewUV6rPL
Once again the provided example can't be matched to the given address. 13bkBdHRovsBkjM4BUsbcDNr9DCTDcpy9W as reported by OP is not generated by using the claimed merkle root as a private key.

Quote
Results: Yes! I found 6 addresses again up until mid-2016.
So next thing om my agenda checking all the merkeroots from blocks 0-536830. And yes, I also came up with 6 results:

Code:
4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b -> 1Gt4G9kRDNCRNAoiLPwLZdLcdn7VUSfqMN [UNC]
749845497284ecf84ad16baa69d342d5c828403a53d5df3dba1d6743ad54db13 -> 1CSsutw7JFAj66AkyMPsDVvZ7yi2aoNyh2 [UNC]
04b9ac63b6ef06cc5a68502c6d220f70f0758850fd0ec2433112949cdf5c2323 -> 1D2YW26aTq5vxhZtYKAKeWJ9hsBxCkVNVu [COM]
fdd88c26ee8a3ddaf73819f612ffcfcb48104a6c38a333caee870ddbd75d4f5a -> 1FhuJVi4EAvQw3DzTcyuati22JgALKQiKq [UNC]
3cdd40a60823b1c7356d0987078e9426724c5b3ab439c2d80ad2bdd620e603d8 -> 1G3JHzv2gCUZC5CAzm2fqnaiEcCcyqEsS5 [UNC]
072723a6a5fd8fde8ee76370f6317ac9395d54b72bd8a0a54093f2980f6fb23e -> 18cFhmZgsiDe9y2J7wTs7VmdcdTyg5tsB4 [UNC]
Although not provided in the text of OP the above six addresses were indeed generated by merkle roots in the blockchain.

Update: I also ran all merkleroots as a private key as opposed to the abover where I used the merkleroot as a phrase. This experiment yielded another 4 addresses:
Code:
7dac2c5666815c17a3b36427de37bb9d2e2c5ccec3f8633eb91a4205cb4c10ff -> 198MRUHD2cvgUTBKcnroqmoTSs4b8xyLH9
2a0053e41c5e66a5f5de94ab5527c04b61b3f47b2266475bdb16025009a8b934 -> 12SyZiNJhDzNWN6Si8Na4Na5UmebKMWprY
2c8837415676c2c0fda60998ac658c89f4c6839f3dad8f81dc80da69b42fc207 -> 1PkiKjtFdwDZ9ehRx1X2G5WRfkT2AQHq91
422ced71eac08061c053b010e2b65e7704b80f7b044c2ec707cd49c9f902f25d -> 12N1t4G9nKKQE5opNSCGSg57HfkKgZTnRY

Unless I've done some terribly wrong (and if I did please let me know!) I think the claim of OP block hashes have been used as private keys is false!
I've tried a few examples that you posted and I got exactly the same addresses as OP said
how did you use those block hashes & transaction ids to generate addresses?
it seems that you used them as phrases for brainwallet instead of as private keys
you should use them as Private Key Hexadecimal Format (64 chars)

I've tried a few examples that you posted and I got exactly the same addresses as OP said
how did you use those block hashes & transaction ids to generate addresses?
it seems that you used them as phrases for brainwallet instead of as private keys
you should use them as Private Key Hexadecimal Format (64 chars)

Thanks for pointing this out! You are absolutely right.

I got off track when OP later on did use the input (for instance the BTC addresses) as a brainwallet and also when I found the six claimed merkle roots which also were found by using them as a brainwallet -> SHA256(Merkle Root) is private key.

I will rerun the first experiment and will update my first post accordingly. In the meantime I have succeeded in reproducing the experiment where BTC addresses were used as input to generate a private key.

Sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path

Experiment 1
------------

My first experiment was to see if anyone used a block hash as a private key. That would actually be a nifty way to 'compress' 32 bytes in your head.  You would only have to remember the block height (which is only maybe 6 digits) and the corresponding larger 32 byte number would be saved for all time in the chain itself!

Results: Success! I found 46 addresses that had some amount of bitcoin sent to them between 2009 and 2016.  As expected, these all had 0 balances either because the owner had taken them back or they were discovered by someone else.

Here are two examples. You can use blockchain.info to see these hex values are actually block hashes from early in the chain.  This happened on/off up until mid-2016.

Please note my previous conlcusion on using blockhashes as private keys were not correct as pointed out by Thirdspace. This is a correction post with the results of a proper experiment on block hashes

The first experiment as was stated by the OP was to use a block hash as a private key. He/she was even kind enough to provide two examples. What wasn't clear to me before but is now is the fact those blockhashes themselves were used as private keys instead of using those block hashes as phrases.

Code:
Used as private key    : 000000006a625f06636b8bb6ac7b960a8d03705d1ace08b1a19da3fdcc99ddbd
Remark                 : block hash from block #2

OP address found       : 1Buc1aRXCqdh6r7PRYWPAy3EtVFw5Ue5dk
My address found       : 1Buc1aRXCqdh6r7PRYWPAy3EtVFw5Ue5dk
Remark                 : 80 + '000000006a625f06636b8bb6ac7b960a8d03705d1ace08b1a19da3fdcc99ddbd' as the full private key
The address 1Buc1aRXCqdh6r7PRYWPAy3EtVFw5Ue5dk as reported by OP is indeed generated by using the claimed block hash as a private key.

Code:
Used as private key    : 000000004ebadb55ee9096c9a2f8880e09da59c0d68b1c228da88e48844a1485
Remark                 : block hash from block #4

OP address found       : 1KLZnkqU94ZKpgtcWCRs1mhqtF23jTLMgr
My address found       : 16X3KngmmQ1x5roBz71boZ3b55qCRC1D51
The address 1KLZnkqU94ZKpgtcWCRs1mhqtF23jTLMgr as reported by OP is indeed generated by using the claimed block hash as a private key.

So after my previous attempt of using all blockhashes as a private key I this time ran the correct experiment by checking each blockhash as the actual private key. I found 48 (!) addresses this way (including the 2 OP provided as an example):

Thanks to Thirdspace who pointed out my previous mistake I was able to reproduce the experiment OP has done and came up with 48 addresses based on a private key equal to a blockhash from a block in the range of 0-536830.

Experiment 4
------------

My last experiment is the one that led me to believe someone was siphoning bitcoin from some service on a regular basis and has been since 2014.

Take a look at this private key:

    KyTxSACvHPPDWnuE9cVi86kDgs59UFyVwx2Y3LPpAs88TqEdCKvb

The public address is:

    13JNB8GtymAPaqAoxRZrN2EgmzZLCkbPsh

The raw bytes for the private key look like this:

    4300d94bef2ee84bd9d0781398fd96daf98e419e403adc41957fb679dfa1facd

Looks random enough. However, these bytes are actually sha256 of this public address!

    1LGUyTbp7nbqp8NQy2tkc3QEjy7CWwdAJj

I discovered this by performing Sha256 on all the public addresses I had collected from the setup of my experiments and then seeing if those addresses (from the generated private keys) were ever used.  Bingo!  Lots were coming up.  I searched a fraction of the chain and found dozens.  I also found these addresses had bitcoin sent to them very recently (within weeks/days of when I discovered them.)

I asked myself, "Why would someone do this?"

At first, I thought this was someone who thought they could get away with having to remember only one piece of information rather than two.  Maybe they have one favorite address/private key combo and derived another from that one?  I thought it was possible.  You could keep doing this in a chain and derive as many as you wanted and only ever have to remember the first one.  But I ruled this out for one simple reason; bitcoins transferred into those addresses were being transferred out within minutes or SECONDS. If someone generated these private keys for themselves, then why would the coins be almost immediately transferred out in every case I looked at?

Here are some more (complete list at end of this doc):

16FKGvEtu5KPMZqiTK4yjmsSZsJLyxz9fr from Sha256(1CRWfJdgVrfKLRS4G3vTMRhEQrCZZyHNMo)
1HwxL1vutUc42ikh3RBnM4v2dVRHPTrTve from Sha256(1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPH)
1FNF3xfTE53LVLQMvH6qteVqrNzwn2g2H8 from Sha256(1H21ndKEuMqZbeMMCqrYArCdV8WeicGehB)
Note: I skipped experiment no. 3 since it was just a few random inputs not related to information stored in the BTC blockchain.

I could reproduce the findings of OP without a problem for experiment 4. The given examples all match with addresses provided. So it was time for me to run the same experiment on every known address on the blockchain (up until block 536830)

And I found a total of a whooping 148 addresses where an existing BTC-address was used as the passphrase for another one. My findings:

This concludes my checking of the experiments OP described. I will do a few follow-up experiments myself and if I find something interesting I will report my findings here. I also added all the results from these experiment in my published sets of compromised brainwallets at https://eli5.eu/brainwallet/ (which reports almost 19k compromised addresses).

Sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path
