[FAKE] The database of all of the bitcoin private keys

[Shogen]

How close is this number to all Bitcoin addresses that can ever be generated?

Not really. Though the private keys are 256 bits, there are only 2^160 addresses.

[PerrythePlatypus]

My guess is that the creator only spam generated a few thousand address and fake the amount of address. Its practically not possible to bruteforce a private key.

How close is this number to all Bitcoin addresses that can ever be generated?

Not really. Though the private keys are 256 bits, there are only 2^160 addresses.

That's 49 decimal digits; how come this guy claims to have generated addresses in quantity of 78 decimal digits?

For a valid private key, it is always associated with a bitcoin address.
But, there are many different valid private keys that can lead to the same address.

Total number of valid bitcoin private key: slightly less than 2^256

Code:

115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337

Total number of valid bitcoin address: 2^160

Code:

1461501637330902918203684832716283019655932542976

I am trying to find out if the poster tried to generate ALL Bitcoin addresses that can ever be generated. And if yes, how well did he succeed?

No even close!



One of my favorite infographics can show you.

Now that is impressive, god damn.

That's 78 decimal digits. So the only way the poster's claim is wrong is that either the site does not have UNIQUE keys (keys are duplicated every few pages) or they're not valid keys after all.

I don't know if the site really list all private keys out.

But as I have said earlier, it is extremely easy to generate all possible valid private keys by just going from 1, 2, 3, onwards.
So, there are nothing special about the site, even if it does list all private keys out.

[trace666]

as for all of these sites, the keys shown are generated when the page is requested by a visitor.
There is no "database" of generated keys and there is no way to get the key of a specific bitcoin address (since that would require the whole database of private keys up front).

[razorfishsl]

WTF is this? Who owns these addresses and who is posting them on open internet?

This database owner's purpose is to prove that bitcoin is secure, public, strong and transparency. That's it. If you know bitcoin deeply, you will get the answer.

This is the bitcoin philosophy - transparency but secure even the nowadays bank system can't make it.

That is why we are Bitcoiners.

Well...  if they're indeed private keys, then its not secure. Am I missing something here?

If you go down to the beach and pick up a hand full of sand, does that 'handful' represent every grain of sand in the world or the universe?

The thing that makes private keys so 'secure' is the shear number of them(in a given set), but by the same measure, if you are very very lucky then  somewhere in your handful of sand is potentially a valuable  'private key'  belonging to an active address holding coin. (you just need to find which one)
Which is why it is good practice to continually 'rotate' your addresses, since it adds to the entropy of  'publicity known' addresses an attacker would need to check his 'sand' against.( if it was a brute force attack)

(yep ok very simplistic but it gives a target for thought)

There are some keys which show some transactions. I imported one and it once had 2 BTC in it

I agree with your explanation, but the total pages(904625697166532776746648320380374280100293470930272690489102837043110636675) are still amazing!

Not so.
This one is the first one from the first page:
https://blockchain.info/address/1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm

Bitcoin private keys are just some huge numbers (256 bits) and any 256-bit number between "0x1" and "0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE BAAE DCE6 AF48 A03B BFD2 5E8C D036 4141" is a valid private key.

To those who want to get all private keys, it is extremely easy.
Take a notebook, write down "1", "2", "3", up to "115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337".

Edit: fix a typo.

You got it.

hmm they must be the victims of their own. submitting their own private keys and to check the db

If you want your bitcoin to be safe, never expose your private key in anywhere, otherwise you might lose all of your money!!!

I want to share you something amazing - The whole database of bitcoin private key: http://key.btc123.com/1

You can find all of the bitcoin private keys in the database. No joke, all of the priavte keys are in the database. You may want to try to find some valuable address here, but I would say that it will be as hard as to search a needle in the sea.  

This database can't show the total amount of bitcoin private keys, but it shows the total pages - 904625697166532776746648320380374280100293470930272690489102837043110636675 pages totally. Still an amazing number!!!

I still think bitcoin is strong and secure. What about you?

So, this is the chinese version of directory.io ?

It is interesting to see how scammers come up with new idea every day. But u r a layman scammer. Come up with some original idea

The author removed the private key search function to avoid to be considered as a scammer. Don't expose your private key publicly, your bitcoin will be safe.

That option is searched by page, not private key. You can go through any pages if you want.
