So just for the fun I created this bot that brute forces Bitcoin addresses.

Of course its nearly impossible to crack any normal generated addresses but as I said, just doing it for the fun )

Here is what i did:

1. Grabbed all unique public keys in the blockchain and placed them in a local Database

2. Coded an app to generate private keys from Bigints (Both compressed an uncompressed) with multiple RNG types

3. For each PVK generated the app checks the Database for a possible public address match

4. A txt file is created with the PVK and Public address in case of a match

5. I will run the app for the next 464656656565656566565646367618239128323718298319239129309 years to see if I get any good addresses ))

I got dozens of used addresses but they were all empty already.

Also did with dictionary attack and got dozens of used addresses, all empty also.

If someone interested I can sell a copy of the app + the database (around 10 GB) for 1 BTC.

Yeah, that's true. You can claim your address with clam coin.

Maybe you can get more than 1 btc if address is really old.

A little. I mean, it's kind of an ethical quandary. If you run across a wallet lying in someone's driveway, do you scoop it up and continue on your way? Or do you consider it the rightful property of the homeowner? That's pretty clearly analogous to running across someone's poorly-constructed brainwallet address with funds in it.


And to be honest with you, I don't believe you. I believe you're just in to dupe those that know less than you into buying your 'app + database' for 1 BTC each.

...and you did. I henceforth apologize for what seems to be my incorrect assumption regarding your motivation.

Lets start by what we know:

The BTC values of the outputs (0.001 through 0.256) are obviously the sequence numbers and the private keys are the sequence values.

How many of the sequence values do we already know (have been found by brute force)?  

Is the list in this thread the entire list of known values from the sequence?
