Are we done, now? Smiley

No, we are not because you are excluding one very important variable, called luck. I don't care about your calculations, if chance is not exactly
0% than "address collision is impossible" is a myth.
Well, I suppose that's true. If you're feeling lucky, I'll bet you $20,000 (would be more, but I'm poor) that you won't roll a 1 on a 9,000,000,000,000,000,000-sided die. Technically, you have a 0.00000000000000000011111111111111111111111111111111% chance of winning... As far as significant numbers go, you would have 0% chance of winning.

So, yes, it's possible, but any rational person would be more than willing to bet a ton of money on those odds.

ETA: By bet, I mean I'll pay out $20k if I lose. If you lose, you don't have to pay anything out. This would be more in line with trusting an address not to be "stumbled upon" with DSV-like software.

you shutdown the project to maintain the "0% chance for address collision" myth?



I'm closing this project due to other priorities. Thanks everyone. It was fun!   

Why remove .scr file? Some people started getting results and you shutdown the project to maintain the "0% chance for address colision" myth?
It's not a myth, it's just facts. 2^256 is a really really really large number.

Here you can find a list of all addresses and their current balance, as of block 207681.

How did you make this? Do you have and updated version?

How to add extra address in lost_coins list?  Huh

and how to install "local bitcoind + ABE installation" for locally fetching data?

The list is hard-coded in the current implementation. Adding support for custom hotlists is on my to-do list but
not a high priority at this time.

I am willing to make custom builds with a user-defined hotlist hard-coded available to donators.

The support for ABE is no longer working at this time and I don't have enough time/motivation to work on it right now Sad

Show middle finger to system and then destroy it!

Sandboxie is crap. With default configuration it does not prevent the malware from accessing and reading files on hard drive and doing other things such as stealing wallet file. It only prevents from file creation or system modification. Run any untrusted code in virtual machine such as VMware.

It would take a long time to cache them all, I mean, you would need to calculate the balance of the address based on the previous transactions(if any). Then, you'd need to update it at least once per day, this cache list.

You just update the addresses as you parse the block chain, then you can parse the new blocks live as they come in. It takes about the same amount of time as a client catching up to the block chain, it just needs a lot of RAM.

If you download the entire blockchain it is possible to keep a copy of the balance of ALL addresses in a memcache deamon in ram. It allows you to check the balance of any address without using extra bandwidth.

I have seen setups like that to run through dictionaries looking for brain wallets.

New update released (1.475), now using the lost_coins Hotlist by default.
Also, the application can be fully used offline now. Only if you need to query for live balances will it connect to the Internet.

OK, a minor update (v1.472) is out, which automatically saves all private keys to a text file, as per popular demand...

It would be better to save just addresses with a balance >0, even because when the txt file grows too much it crashes the program.
I would like even the option to run it in the background.
