Get private keys of adresses random ?

[rasho321]

Hi,

I found this website https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/dio/1 that has every address with the relative private key, wouldn't be easy to search for  addresses with huge amount of bitcoins ?

the simple answer is, if it were possible people would have already stolen bitcoins from any address they wanted and bitcoin wouldn't have been alive anymore.

the detailed answer is that this website is not a new thing. it started as a joke a long time ago in a site called directory.io
what it does is that it generates keys as you select a page. and it is a very simple process too. you can even write a script that does it on your computer. it is basically taking a number (private keys are numbers) and then turns that into base58 and shows you the address for it.

for instance the first one in that list is the number 1
number 1 turned into base58 is 5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAnchuDf
number 2 turned into base58 is 5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAvUcVfH
and so on.

also its worth pointing out to the OP
if he set a script to have a number. convert it to a private/public keypair, to check the balance.
