It's likely CPU-only.
If you mine with a CPU you will have a practically inifinite better chance of finding bitcoins than with the DSV.
Can you show me how you calculated that?

The Deep Space Vagabond is worst than any lottery, any gambling casino, any search for alien life, and gives false hope. Other than that it is fun. :-)
OK that settles it, I'm in.

As hopeless as the seek for a private key with a balance on it is, I applaud the efforts of this program!
It's GPU-accelerated?

Got a nice response from piuk, so that's cool! He's ok with it as long as I use a custom user agent in my request headers so he can keep an eye on the load.
I'll go ahead and further and develop this a lilttle more!
I envision DSV to eventually double up as a fast address generator, watch-only balance checker, dictionary-based brainwallet bruteforcer, and screensaver.
It will also support easy drag-and-drop of custom TXT lists with brainwallet sha256-formatted private keys, or 'interesting' addresses such as satoshi's addresses, top 500 rich addresses, etc
As I'm currently travelling, development will not resume immediately, though.

I haven't received a response from piuk yet, but am already considering alternate data sources and make it a user option as to which one to use.

2^256 = 0.0012 x visible atoms in universe

Somehow I doubt that. I am more inclined to believe that a planet has a billion times more atoms than that number, considering a human body has a similar value, according to this article:We're screwed!

I CANT WAIT TO UNCOVER ONE OF PIRATE'S ADDYS
HERE WE GO
I bet if someone does find an address it will be .000001 bitcoins or something lol
Not unless you have a list with address to look for. The ones I suggest trying to look for are Satoshi's addresses since it's unlikely they will be spent anytime soon, if ever. HERE WE GO

You should sell this on the darknet as a hack tool. It might get script kiddies' botnets occupied on something less damaging than attacking pools

just a warning.... don't run random executables linked on this forum... 
Sure, sound advice!
I do guarantee that this app does no malicious things, but I agree that
to be on the safe side in general, either run executables in a secure virtual
machine or sandbox (such as Sandboxie) or compile them from the source.
The (quite short, exactly 75 lines!) source code for this app will be released soon. I need to clean it up a little and make it more readable - it's still a little messy right now.
Very cool Project, even though of course it's a bit 'pointless'. What happens when (as in before the sun dies out) you find a non-zero balance? Also- does it support GPU's? :-)
Also- can you export all these Bitcoin addresses and Private keys? IE: can it double as a key pair generator?
Sure, all addresses along with their private keys are automatically exported to a file on the desktop (the location will be changed to something more sensible in the next release)
From my experience, there were different ways to get the current user's home directory under XP and W7. You'd need to handle that properly.

Your goal may not be to do that to blockchain.info, but it is still exactly what you are doing.
Ive actually written a similar cmd-line app, but it uses a file with exported addresses that have more than 50btc in them.
ABE is very useful here, albeit slow to import the chain.

Actually I do a *really* slow scan (remember, this is just meant as a toy anyway, nobody should realistically expect actual results from it) so it shouldn't have any significant effect on blockchain.info API resources (less than something like btcbalance for example). I will check with piuk if he's OK with it and modify it if not.

When it strikes gold, it will play a nice little sound (and highlight the matching private key) to celebrate the once-in-a-(galactic)-lifetime event!
I don't plan to support GPUs for now as this is just meant to be a toy, and the bottleneck is the networking (balance checking) step anyway. And my goal is not to ddos blockchain.info
