Creating infinite Addresses + Private Keys

[fucilator_3000]

I have an idea, I would like to know if it is difficult to achieve it

I want to create software that generates BTC Addresses and Private Keys.

These must be saved in txt files and stored or course

Then, another software that constantly check balance on Blockchain and if is >1 satoshi the software must warn me.

How technically is difficult this?

My purpose is generate infinite Addresses + Private Keys

What if a lot of people will collaborate and will use unique database?

Firstly are you a professional software developer?

And going by your post you are a rookie and you want to take a mammoth task of creating a bitcoin wallet and private key well I guess you want to be a snacks in the hands of hackers

Best you do some test run with something different it not possible to get answers here and not like this. You can only get hints

You can enroll for classes, workshop and functions build your self properly. And with determination I believe you can do it

My purpose is exactly to get opinions and advices!

Surely I would not let me develop such software from someone I do not personally know, that's for sure!

In any case, what do you think of my idea?

There is already a project running something like this, called Large Bitcoin Collider.

and here is the topic:

And it does exactly the same things you want, running for years and the two collisions it claims have been found are ...questionable.

Why do you want too many addresses? You want to steal BTC from others? I'm telling you don't ever try it. Or you should i guess, so your effort will just be a waste of time. If you think you can outsmart satoshi nakamoto then you're quite wrong with that.

In any case, what do you think of my idea?

Many had tried it, but they all fail. Want to become an addition to them?

Not difficult at all
But why make 2 different programs? It would be more efficient if the same program creates an address and then checks it. Then save the address + private key only if it finds some balance.

I would bet you wont be needing much space on your disk for the addresses 

Wonder why no-one else has thought of this.

PS. Infinity is quite a big number

imagine there are:
90009251394333065553493296640760748560200586941860545380978205674086221273350
keypairs
and you were able to check 1000 a second
or simply able to check 60000 a  minute
or simply able to check 3600000 a an hour
or simply able to check 86400000 a day
or simply able to check 31536000000 a year

then..
315360000000 is 10 years
3153600000000 is 100 years
31536000000000 is 1000 years
315360000000000 is 10,000 years
3153600000000000 is 100,000 years

screw it ill get to the point.
a million years can pass and you (and your 40,000 descendants) would have only checked some thing along the lines of less than
0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of all keys
so you better get started

don't imagine a random big number. there are exactly

private keys.

These must be saved in txt files and stored or course

you will need to buy all the hard drives in the world to store a small portion of private keys on it.
every private key is 32 bytes so you can multiply 32 with that number above to see where you run out of space based on your HDD....

Correct me if am wrong. Don't HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) wallets provide same functionality. Unlimited addresses and private keys can be generated upon one master seed.

that is off topic here. OP wants to check every private key that exists for balance and possibly steal that balance and get rich
what BIP32 does is that it defines a way for you to create random keys that are derived from the same entropy so that you can recover all of them by only backing up one master key. otherwise these keys are still random in that big range.
p.s. technically it is not unlimited, it is finite and the limit is that big number i posted above which will take until the end of the universe to reach.

Interesting, and I immediately thought of the LHC due to the project's name. Anyway, as most of us believe, theoretically there will be no two addresses with the same private keys/public keys considering the vast amount of possibilities there are, and also the project itself is very young to stumble upon a collision early on.

Is this technically difficult? No, you just need to understand the mechanics of creating addresses and automate the creation process through a script. It's that simple, though given that there are 2^160 possibilities, it would take you a loooooooong time to come close to a collision (which is highly improbable anyway), so the effort will be dire and the resources invested would only go to waste.

I believe they do. But aren't paper wallets better? just wondering
