Question about Private Keys

[Farabi]

Hello!

Does anyone have a list of private keys that had balance prior to 2020 but was found and wiped after 2020 had began?
 I'm trying figure out something here, Thanks!

Edit: It seems that many of you are not familiar with that there are people who brute forces private key, and it's also my fault for expecting you guys to understand my words while using a really complicated stand point, so lemme rephrase my question

As a brute forcer how long did it take you to find your first private key balance? How long did it take you to find your first key? Can you share your "trophy addresses" along with the corespondent private key? Thanks!

Hey there! What exactly are you trying to figure out here? Are you going to ask for that list as well?

Let me remind you that the most basic rule in crypto says giving away of private keys is a big no no to everyone. And for whatever reason!

I remember reading something a long time ago saying that even if Satoshi Nakamoto himself is the one asking for your private key you should still never give it!

If I understand correctly OP is asking for private keys of wallets that currently doesn't have any funds in it, just wallets that had balances in it last year. As far as I know wallets like this can be used to claim airdrops. Though yea, I think this probably shouldn't be allowed here.

That had balance? Im not so sure what is your idea, but let me remind you that once you acquire private key, then you can simply open a certain wallet and see the balance, not to mention you didnt tell which blockchain is it. But posting here on bitcoin discussion, I assuming its btc.

Since youre asking for private key, no one can definitely answer you here, maybe what you mean is the main address, where wallets with balance but suddenly gone during 2020? Much better if you will revise the question.

this is possible also i am thinking that if you give your privatekey that have balance before they can also claim the free coins from fork before if the owner doesnt claim it at this moment.

There are no persons can give thier privekey to any one without an exchange even the wallet doesnt have any balance.

You question is confusing. What do you mean by "found and wiped"?

[joniboini]

Are you participating in some kind of tx puzzle?

"Found and wiped" sounds like somebody is brute-forcing the private key of a known address and then move the funds in it.

List of private keys which had balance? It seems you are looking for a public list of private key? That's not possible if you are looking for so.
Or if you are looking for someone to provide their private keys, I don't think you will get. Who will give you the forked coin? If you are looking for something else, please share more information.

The private key is one of the most important key in your account and I'm doubting about your topic because it is getting the list and that is the related key and this is you just need to store and most of the platform today are recommending to not give their private keys to other users because this is the key to use for recovering your wallet and at the same time getting the account safe to the hackers and other people trying to attempt stealing your information and coins. And if you want to get a private key you need to create an account to the platform does require for having kyc or verification to their users because most of the time this is needed to secure the login process and transferring of funds too.
Also in the previous year there are a thread here in bitcoin talk giving the list of the private keys but it does not contain any coins and that is the generated private keys and he just want to make more explore about the thing of private key too. Try to check this thread too if you are the same hobbies as him. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4345245.0

I think you need to edit and rephrase your question or your thread, it's not coherent and i couldn't found meaning to anything you wrote up there, are you trying to ask a question or are you making a suggestion or are you trying to carry out an investigation. If you had used a translator, I'll advice you use a more better one so that we can understand clearly and give you the feedback you are looking for

Are you sure you're not confused between private key and Bitcoin address? If you meant Bitcoin address, the raw data is available on Bitcoin's blockchain and all you need to do is process the data.
But if you meant private key, then such information isn't exist publicly.

I am sure he meant private key and there can be only two reasons why someone would ask for such information:

1. Either to claim forked coins which I don't think anybody will leave before making private key public.
2. Or to personify as the holder of that address and make more transactions. People have used this method to show proofs on Bitcoin Doubler Scam sites in past.

Except those two reasons if OP genuinely needs used private keys for educational purpose then he should better ask his query on forum to get easy answer rather than trying to figure out himself through private keys.

Well there is one popular private key available in public domain and had some prior transactions on associated Bitcoin Address which is:

Private Key (WIF Uncompressed): 5KUN8s42BCTkQVMTy3oFfqeXE8awVskbDi6XbDMpRnFvHJW9fgk
Bitcoin Address: 1ADJqstUMBB5zFquWg19UqZ7Zc6ePCpzLE

This is a private key generated with the hex of English word 'satoshi'.

Hello everyone!

I have rephrased the question above, please read it once more!

I don't have an answer for you, but these might be interesting:

[seoincorporation]

If you think is easy to find private keys with balance just by Bruteforce let me tell you this is a waste of time... The only viable way to do this is by brute-forcing brain wallets, maybe that's the right way to attack because if you will just generate keys random you will never find free btc that way.

ithink someones hacking op's wallet and force his private key to break. thats ithought his mean. its hard to find someone's private key unless you give to them. and no one can bypass of this.. be careful with your private key..

you are wrong, nobody has ever tried brute forcing private keys because it is impossible to do. however, these are the things people do:
1. some people who don't understand how things work start wasting their time searching for the needle in the haystack.
2. those who are solving some sort of puzzle like the recent one posted by a new exchange, or the one which someone put small amounts of money in keys in small ranges like between 2^0 and 2^1 then between 2^1 and 2^2 and so on.
3. those who are trying to exploit some vulnerability in an implementation with broken RNG and things like that. these are rare cases and the number of exploiters isn't that high.
4. those who have lost their own keys like having a damaged paper wallet, a corrupted wallet file, losing one or two words from their own mnemonic, lost parts of their encryption password. they can use "brute forcers" in which case the time it takes and possibility of success depends on what they lost and how much of it they remember.

even after clarification i was still like    

cause i thought he was speaking from the perspective of a victim whose wallet had some kind of time/date tech error bug (ala y2k cpu errors)

but then i noticed that this guy hasn't posted AT ALL since

i mean are you assuming that everyone here is scamming in the crypto scene and want to brag about wins?

cmon bro

You can try out to look in all of PK's on here:

Bruteforcer? good luck with that.

Under no circumstances should you enter any of your private keys into any of those sites. With a private key, the site may steal the bitcoins held by that pivate key.

A Non-custodial Wallet is what the best when it comes to private Keys.The main difference between a custodial and non-custodial wallet is the private key. Having access to your private key gives you full control of your funds and therefore making it more secure. Custodial wallets are wallet services that do not provide users access to their private keys.


Light (non-custodial) wallets allow you to fully control your funds and therefore are more secure.

No access to a wallet owner's private key

MyEtherWallet
Electrum
Aladdin Wallet
BitGo
