collect wallet.dat sccript

[nocroom]

made a script that finds and collects wallet.dat files found on the net *unused wallet.dat* (encrypted and normal)

collected over 1600+ wallet.dat files in 7hrs and i stopped the scan (just testing), just wondering if a script (php/mysql pdo) like this is in demand ?

modified my "thehunter" script https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=730659 to collect files with its smart scanner

In that files you found some wallets with coins? People must be crazy to upload a wallet back up to the net.

If you sell the script, how much you want for it?

well if continue the scanning will full up the server, so im adding a email notification of drive stats

Not sure just, checking the demand on this

You want 0.5 btc for it? i think that is too much.

I have a code for create addys with privatekeys and check balance on each new addy... are you interested in a code exchange?

[nocroom]

May go lower, let me finish it up then I'll release to public

[pedrog]

How do you know which coin they are?

Your code is only usable if you have billions of years.

You don't seem to comprehend how infinitesimally low chance you have at getting anything out of doing this. You're considered extremely lucky even if you find a wallet and key that has a single satoshi in it.

1000000s of wallets you have that luck factor, is like hitting the jackpot

A lot of people in the pass mined and forgot or HD crached and said forget it.

Again is the luck factor

I knwo, the % prob. to get a wallet with coins on it, its too low, but at last its posible with some luck.

Two days ago a guy go to Luckyb.it and hit x999... next day he came again and hit x999 for second time... I think that was imposible, but at last it happen, with some luck our codes can find a wallet with BTC on it. This is not about probability, its about luck.

x999 is 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 times more likely to happen than finding a private key within a sensible time frame. You really dont get just how big 2^256 is, not even luck can help here.

[Undernoxo]

And you forget the principal factor.

Someone that may have BTCs in a wallet, unless he is dead he's not going to have some Bitcoins on a wallet that someone could steal from the net.
We can't check it but for sure but, if somehow you manage to get the password, I suppose that the total value would be less than 100 eur for the 90% of the wallets. The other 10% might have a good password so you could not decrypt them.

Not to be rude but it's a waste of time, find something else to do in your free time because this is a lost cause.

You guys will love this. I'll just give you the list with all the keys:

http://directory.io/1


Here's the actual math involved to accomplish working with lists like this :

A private key is a 256-bit value, meaning there are approximately 1.1579e77 possible keys (There are about 1.2288e66 invalid values, but subtracting them from the full set of values goes beyond the precision we're working with here). 1 trillion = 1e12
1.1579e77 values / 1e12 values per second = 1.1579e65 seconds
60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, approximately 365 days in a year gives us 3.1536e7 seconds per year.
1.1579e65 seconds / 3.1536e7 seconds per year = 3.6717e57 years.
But wait, there's more!
Each of those 1.1579e77 values will occupy 32 bytes of storage space.
1.1579e77 values * 1.1579e77 bytes per value = 3.7053e78 bytes of data.
According to WolframAlpha, there are approximately 1e50 atoms on Earth. Even if you could store 1 byte of data per atom:
3.7053e78 atoms / 1e50 atoms per Earth = 3.7053e28 Earths worth of atoms
Beyond even that: According to Landeauer's principle, at room temperature, the absolute minimum amount of energy required to store one bit of information is 2.85e-21 joules.
The mass of the sun is approximately 1.988435e30 kg. According to general relativity, 1kg of mass will provide you with approximately 1.7867e17 joules of energy (look for a mass-to-energy calculator if you want to double check this).
So we're storing:
3.7053e78 bytes * 8 bits per byte = 2.9643e79 bits of data
Which requires:
2.9643e79 bits * 2.85e-21 joules per bit = 8.44822e58 joules of energy
The sun will provide us with
1.988435e30 kg * 1.7867e17 joules per kilogram = 3.5527e47 joules of energy
Meaning we would need:
8.44822e58 joules / 3.5527e47 joules per sun = 2.3779e11 suns
So, if you could use the entire planet as a hard drive, storing 1 byte per atom, using stars as fuel, and cycling through 1 trillion keys per second, you'd need 37 octillion Earths to store it, and 237 billion suns to power the device capable of doing it, all of which would take you 3.6717 octodecillion years.

Did you sit there and do the calculations yourself? If you did, man I'm quite impressed with the effort put in just to make a point. Of course I'm not going to go through the math just verify all the numbers.

It won't matter though, the few guys in here will still say there's a possibility to hit jackpot with the address and matching key, regardless of how hard it is a fathom those numbers.

[Billbags]

^ I wish I could take credit but someone else actually did the math on that a while back. It's a great calculation!

Ya, if these guys could just put the same effort into something that could really make them some BTC. I've found out a long time ago that honest earnings are the only ones that really pay off in the long run.

Although It is fun to daydream about stuff like finding a key to a lost funded wallet or some large amount of BTC appearing in your wallet one morning with no one missing it, or just hitting a couple of blocks solo mining, its just a dream.

Update: There are 5 hackable wallets at this link, they will even give you hints:
