CHECKING PRIVATE KEY

[t3xoff]

Any ideas or methods to check private keys and their balance?

No. This is impossible in Bitcoin.

In case you didn't notice: that was sarcasm, because you keep creating new topics for the same subject.

Whichever wallet you say i would setup and import.

If you only want to find funded addresses, I would use something like bitcoin-tool (in a VM) to get the addresses, and compare the list to this or this list. That would be the fastest solution.

There is no tool yet for checking private keys with balances but you can hire a developer to develop a tool like that.

Another thing is why don't you just collect all of your private keys and import them directly to Electrum and let it sync a bit to show all balances?

There is a tool that I know that could check balances but only for the public keys if you want to check the tool you can find it here "Bulk address checker"

It's been almost a month since you found a "security flaw" in Bitcoin (BITCOIN SECURITY).
Please let us know if you already found any balance from the "infinite private keys" that you've found.

Yes I would share it soon once it is 100% completed. I have more work on it and I need to make some tools.
I will surely first post it on here.
And I think that there's no use of that security flaw it can only give some private keys with balance but can never be resolved.

Any ideas or methods to check private keys and their balance?

Is this a list of private keys you already have that you want to check... or are you wanting to someone magically find private keys that have a balance so you can "steal" it?

If it's the first... how many private keys are you wanting to check?

No I don't want to steal just check a list of keys may be 10M keys

[HCP]

In that case, the simplest solution would be to generate the addresses from the private keys (legacy, nested SegWit and native SegWit)... and then cross-reference/lookup those addresses in the "funded bitcoin addresses" data available here: http://addresses.loyce.club/

have fun!

No I don't want to steal just check a list of keys may be 10M keys

How can you generate 10m keys?

If you already have them then you can use Electrum but the problem is I think the Electrum will hang if you paste them all.
So you will need to separate them no tools yet to import such a huge amount of private keys.

I search a bit that you could import them through bitcoin-cli on Linux so you will need bitcoin core for this and it should be fully synced to be able to see balances of those wallets.


If you don't have those keys yet it's impossible to find an address with balances it seems you are looking for a brute force tool that generates unlimited private keys and automatically checks balance.
Never heard of a tool like that but you can develop it on python.

No I don't want to steal just check a list of keys may be 10M keys

But, if you ever found a balance from a list of 10M keys, it'd essentially be stealing. Those funds wouldn't be yours; you would have found another person's keys.

Anyway, I'm not going to prevent you from doing this. That's the point of the large ranges used in cryptography; to make brute forcing meaningless. If you want to generate 10M keys and check if they have a balance, you should pick a random number between these two:

[1, 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494336]

Now you should write a script that'll take the number and the next 10M and will convert them into WIFs. That's an easy thing to do. You should then synchronize with the network using a full node and query all those keys. To do so, running an Electrum server will make things easier. You should connect your Electrum server with your full node and then your Electrum client with your Electrum server. Now you can create a wallet by importing private keys and it'll return you their balances.

If you have any questions tell me. I'm willing to help you achieve all the above, I just find it honestly a loss of time for you.

Although as you said it's pointless no matter what, for efficiency it would probably be easier to write something the queried the electrumx database directly instead of using the client.
If you don't mind slightly old data, with the dump that loyce has it is simple to put it into some db and just run queries.

For more efficiency still just import the addresses, you don't need the amounts. Once you match a funded address you then look at a live explorer to see if there is anything there.

Still as waste of time......

I agree, although querying database directly require you to understand how Electrum server software (e.g. ElectrumX and electrs) design the database. Alternatively, since different implementation still follow Electrum Protocol (https://electrumx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/protocol.html), you could create script to perform communication with Electrum server through JSON RPC.

Querying the database directly if you code well is going to be a lot more efficient then JSON RPC. Not that JSON RPC is bad, its not not as efficient.
The downside of direct to the DB is you probably have to do have a bit more coding and know a bit about the DB structure.

Running it on your own box that has enough power, which would be faster it's probably going really depend on how well you wrote the scripts.

why you can see the balance and check the private key, do you want to steal other people's assets?  your question is not clear. If you want to seek help, include a website, or a photo that you've lost assets, so everyone here can help. if like this, you will be accused of stealing, and looking for solutions to take other people's assets. there is no good method to check someone else's private key, but you can only see other people's assets, such as tokens and coins through his wallet.

[LoyceV]

so you can "steal" it?

it'd essentially be stealing.

do you want to steal other people's assets?

Why the worry about OP stealing Bitcoin? Let him try!
If I'd worry about people brute-forcing my private keys, I wouldn't be into Bitcoin. Once in a while someone posts about this, but I'm pretty sure many people are quietly trying this too. Let them waste their energy
