afaik, this is not possible.

addresses are never duplicated, that's the whole thing about bitcoin algos and p2p - period.

unless you were actually controlling a remote pc holding one of the addresses on it, there is no way in hell you'd ever see random donations/transfers Tongue

But why would anyone send BC to these adresses any more than anyone would just transfer money to a completely random bank account? I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're proposing here.

This may sound stupid, but isn't it possible for someone to create a lot of bitcoin addresses and start stealing money from other people? I could make a script that keeps generating new addresses and spends any money that arrives on them... no?
