Anarchy provides freedom, but no central authority to protect it.
You need to protect it yourself, and in this present case, you can't do anything (maybe switching you bitcoins from time to time to a new wallet).
Anyway, nothing illegal here.

because the guy doing this will have custom software he wrote, terabytes of words that can be checked within a second or two of a new block coming in.

look at all the known brainwallets, and you'll see the same one of two accounts always taking the money.

yeah and 0.000000001% > whatever you're doing. which is what everybody else is doing, meaning you get nothing. every. time.

Because I can into basic math

bitcoin is broken if you manage to find a valuable key

What if every single person in the world who owns at least one computer did this for 5 years?

It would be equivalent to one person doing that

>dodo
What the fuck is this

If each person can check 1000 keys per second, means total number is:
1000*3600*24*365*5*7700000000 = 1214136000000000000000 keys in 5 years

total bitcoin private key: 2^256 = 115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457

lol faggot

Sit down and think, numerical methods and statistics
Thats how I moved that Silk road guys coins

ITS NOT FAIR BROOOOOOOOSS

Lol.

>dodo
Fuck me you zoomers are dumb...
zoomers=dodos

wtf, is crypto really this vulnerable? what a fucking meme LOL

Wouldn't you have better luck trying to phish people instead?

5% cpu usage.

No reason not to just run it constantly as a lottery.

Running an actual miner makes no sense as it uses too much resources

Technically if someone mined a key and it was coinbase's wallet, your funds would be gone

>hes never seen Porky in Wackyland
watch the original, the color one kinda sucks

Except that you are literally wasting your time. Might as well mine.

So you guys are stealing? Hm... That's why you guys will never make it.

If you lost that to a "pig like him" you just happened to be the victim of the luckiest motherfucking pig in the whole planet. Wouldn't even be that mad.

Why don't you get it.

Mining keys is completely resource free
Mining properly thrashes your hardware to death

So you're sitting around and you're thinking "well, I know. I'll spend a lot of money so I can get some hardware, then barely make enough to pay for the fucking bills a month". Which guarantees that you won't get shit. Because the probability of getting more than what you get from mining is exactly 0. No lottery there. It's basically not participating at all and making pennies while wasting resources like an animal.

On the other hand, you have a script that you can run while doing anything with your computer, and your computer doesn't need to be a fucking beast either. You still pay the bills, not as much. Because you're basically not taking enough resources that it will make you cry when you see your bills, and you probably waste it doing other stupid shit. And with that, you can just participate in this lottery of lotteries.

Would you really mine? At this point?

Also, a waste of time? No time is wasted if it runs automatically. You can just have it running. What's that, too hard to open a script?

just play the lottery!

this is unironically infinitely less profitable than actually mining

just imagine some faggot blunders into one of satoshis wallets, spends it happily and sends the entire cryptosphere into a death spiral by frenzied sells.

idk user, but with some wallets you can have a password aswell as a private key, also backup with 2fa next time and your safe.

when we harness the suns energy and asteroid mine enough material to make devices to search
maybe we will find out if he gets lucky

still near infinite chance of a hit

Might as well just sit there jerking off and eventually a golden meteor will fall through your roof.

Nothing is resource free. You are literally wasting your time and need to learn basic math and statistics.
This isn't a lottery, it's a fools errand.

youtube.com/watch?v=S9JGmA5_unY
you could have them do it for a trillion years and still not even come close to checking 1%.

It's not resource free. It takes less resources and that difference matters. Enlighten us on how this is a waste of time, because you aren't providing anything so far.

Lottery isn't free, but this script consuming 2-5% cpu usage and run auto, you can use your pc like normal.

Runs in the background at 5% cpu.

Where is my time being wasted ?

I don't care what you do. It's a waste of time. DYOR on how sha256 hiding works.

You still haven't explained what does that have do with "wasting time". It should be very simple.

It's currently running in the background unnoticed.

Tell me what time is being wasted

so, have anyone of you managed to find a wallet with some btc on it ? Doesn't matter how much, as long as it had something on it

that number is greater than an estimate number of all atoms in the visible universe, I'm literally laughing like risitas now

Its already been done this way.

motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/nzpv8m/the-large-bitcoin-collider-is-generating-trillions-of-keys-and-breaking-into-wallets

You guy know there is something called "mining" bitcoin right?

fuck off shill. no one here is falling for your chink scam

have a look at how many btc addresses own more than 1 BTC, very few. your chances of finding a used key are effectively zero unless you spend a few billion years searching.

your chances of finding a used key that has > 1 BTC is man many orders of magnitude smaller.

if you're going to try and steal btc there are easier ways.

then do both, you fucking brainlet.

>look at me bros, I'm gonna defeat sha256 with this script I'm running on my Macbook!
the absolute state

Maybe you should use the time to learn basic math, you brainlet.

you have more chance to win every powerball than finding one key but hey waist your time all you want

you realize it would take you a million years just to crack even one right?

github.com/Isaacdelly/Plutus

I see you modified my python script.

Oh nevermind. This isnt my script.

>flooding stdout with meaningless shit making the script much slower when he could just filter that shit with e.g. awk

I have access to about 1k cores and can easily check far greater number of keys per second

underrated post

bait

>python
>queries some blockchain api
>generates 2 keys a second

How is this not the most retarded thing ever? If you were going to do this why wouldn't you precalculate the list of addresses that hold 1 or more btc so that you could query that instead of a web api? After you did that, the lang choice becomes the bottleneck, so you switch to a non-gc non-interpreted language that hopefully generates more than 2 keys a second?

You will never find anything. High dimensional space is unfathomly large, which is the only reason crypto works in the first place.

wtf, I thought you were trying like 1000 keys a second at least.
this is like playing the lottery but without even living on planet earth and expecting to win.

>he thinks he's checking 1000 keys a second

It would unironically be more profitable to just mine bitcoin with pen&paper

That's not how this works. The guy can just create a new wallet with his private key and sign any transaction.

>not just paying a couple quid to get some scratch cards or lotto tickets
>for just £5 you would increase your odds of actually getting money incredibly
>instead people would rather have their pc on 24/7 idling at 5%
I'd imagine the power consumption of leaving a pc on overnight is equal to £5 once every couple months, if instead you bought a couple lotto tickets and scratch cards you'd have higher odds of getting money and spend the same amount

in fact even if you do it when you'd be using the pc anyway 5% constant usage would probably be £5 per year so even doing that it'd cost the same and give you grater odds to buy a fiver of scratch cards and lotto tickets once per year

This script supported multithreading, it depends on CPU speed.

CPU speed is largely irrelevant since you're making blocking network calls my dude.

Yea this is exactly why I keep my funds on coinbase/binance. Yes, sure my 2FA can be broken and email password stolen too. However, at least no one can generate them on their PC computer from home...

bait

I would die of laughter if some sperg cracked a private key doing this and all it had was some BTC dust

>password as well as a private key

Holy fuck please learn more about how bitcoin works, the password simply encrypts access to the private key on your physical device. If someone guesses or finds out that private key theres absolutely *nothing* you can do to stop them accessing that wallet. There's a reason people call bitcoin 'digital cash'.

might as well wait for a pile of gold to randomly quantum appear out of thin air in front of you

this might even have a higher probability of happening lol

I would die of laughter (literally) if the universe was actually in a false vacuum and it went through a bubble nucleation in our lifetime (the probability of this is probably higher than finding a private key with anything on it)

kek this
