List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance

[LoyceV]

From the past few days, I've identified 101 different IP addresses that downloaded the same file in the same way 169 times. The IPs I checked are owned by Microsoft. Maybe a proxy server or VPN? Either way, I'll DROP their connections now. I expect to add more IPs to the list later. I don't like the way someone burns through 50 GB bandwidth per day.

Well, it got worse:

What's wrong with people? The same 1 GB file got downloaded approximately 200 times in an hour, this time using Google servers. And since incoming bandwidth is free, they can just burn through my bandwidth with virtually no cost. But why? Just spam my feedback like normal people if you don't like me

I've increased the IP-bans, I now DROP entire IP ranges.

This still applies:

Although unlikely: If I added your IP by mistake: please PM me.
If you don't want me to know which forum account belongs to which IP: setup a throw away email to contact me:

Hi LoyceV,
I really appreciate your work, but I have a question... you can upload the content on https://wetransfer.com/ and use that for the main link, and somewhere in the page add the link on your host. It would save loooooots of traffic.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not going to do this. I don't like using a third party that requires additional attention from the downloader. If anything, I'll use Torrent in the future.

Or so! It's a great option, took a look on google for seedboxes and found this (first link) https://seedbox.io/shared-seedbox/ there's a monthly payment (6 euros) but there's unlimited traffic.
But there are some cons:
1) There's a fee to be paid monthly (6 euros)
2) The hassle to upload the files every day on that seedbox
3) You should implement some google captcha to download directly from loyce.club.

it worth the work?

1) There's a fee to be paid monthly (6 euros)

I want this to be a long-term project. If it's going to cost 720 euro for 10 years, I won't keep it up forever.

2) The hassle to upload the files every day on that seedbox

I've never used a seedbox, but a regular VPS is very convenient.

3) You should implement some google captcha to download directly from loyce.club.

Those are more annoying for humans than for bots, so I won't do that. I'd rather implement a 10 sat LN payment for each download

Hi! How to get latest block numbers?

[LoyceV]

How to get latest block numbers?

You can choose from many different methods. For instance: in Bitcoin Core, click Window > Information, It shows: "Current block height 694768". Or use Blockchain.com's explorer's Latest Blocks.

If you want a nice visualization with it, use Billfold's BitBonkers. Turn on your sound, put it to full screen, and watch transactions and blocks drop from the sky. Click balls for details.

This doesn't have much to do with this topic, so I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for.

Need help

Code:

comm -12 bitcoin_addresses_25.08.2021.txt <(cat My-addresses.txt | sort | uniq)
comm: file 1 is not in sorted order

Need to sort the bitcoin_addresses_25.08.2021.txt file somehow?

Your file name is different from mine: did you download (and uncompress) addresses.loyce.club/Bitcoin_addresses_August_24_2021.txt.gz?
That file is sorted already, and I just checked the command to confirm it still works. What exactly did you do to get this file?

[PrivatePerson]

i had blockchair_bitcoin_addresses_and_balance file
I removed the balances from it. Do you want both files to be sorted by name?

[LoyceV]

i had blockchair_bitcoin_addresses_and_balance file
I removed the balances from it.

That explains why it isn't sorted: the files with balance is sorted by balance (highest first). The comm command requires the file to be sorted alphabetically.
You can just use the sort command on it (make sure there are no tabs left in the file), or download the other file.

Where should this command output the results?
I intentionally inserted one of my addresses into the list of addresses with balances and at the end of the check nothing was displayed.
Both lists are sorted.

[LoyceMobile]

Where should this command output the results?

The matching addresses are shown on console.
Does your list have spaces or Windows formatting by any chance?

[PrivatePerson]

formatted in windows > sublime Text - UTF8

formatted in windows > sublime Text - UTF8

Try to add the fromdos pipe.

[PrivatePerson]

Eureka! It worked, not clear why, but it worked.
I use sort for Linux, it did not help.
What are the addresses in the list of the format:
m-f0038f17d4787569b404c383d2cdb031?

[LoyceV]

not clear why, but it worked

Windows uses a different end of line character than Linux, and since comm compares the entire line, all your addresses will include a different character, and therefore won't match the list of funded addresses.
Using fromdos fixes it.

What are the addresses in the list of the format:
m-f0038f17d4787569b404c383d2cdb031?

See:

This is how Blockchair.com shows OP_RETURN. From the main page the search field doesn't show them, but you can replace a Bitcoin address in the URL to find them: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/d-d0d953f2e7043342540a1407243e49fe.

This webhost is temporarily offline. See Twitter for my host's status updates. Current estimate is about 2 days of downtime to go.
Update: it's back online, currently running today's update.

Before it went down, I noticed several daily updates were missed in the past month. I don't know the cause of that, I only noticed it afterwards.

If anyone knows an affordable (storage) VPS with enough bandwidth allocated, please let me know. Say 1 TB storage and 10 TB bandwidth. "Affordable" means this is just a side-project that I'm not willing to spend hundreds of dollars worth of Bitcoin on.

Can you upload this big files for example to "Wetransfer" or "Torrent"... I Have 1 Gb/s downloading 800MB 45 minutes
