Topic: Check Balance of Multiple Bitcoin Addresses ( Non py, Non Linux ) - page 2. (Read 24960 times)

just randomly picked one and it had 15 cents worth of btc in it... i left it alone... but wow, this could be dangerous with someone with a lot of time on their hands, lol...on the directory.io site..

OK, not a problem. Look at http://chbs.esy.es
It has search function, but a database is slightly smaller than d.io 

Nevermind, just noticed the java version of this someone made. I'm uselesssss

They don't have 1% of the addresses, they have ALL the addresses.  It is impossible to put a search function on it, they generate the addresses on the fly with a program, they don't actually store them all in a database.  Therefore, there is nothing to search.

Do you want me to make this for you? Sounds pretty easy using blockchain.info's API. If someone could offer me free hosting I'd be able to work on this tonight.

too bad there isn't a search function on the directory.io database, would be nice to check any addresses against it, if they really did get 1 percent of all addresses, it will be just a matter of time until someone put a shit ton of coins in one of them. but then, maybe its a good idea not to have a search function, lol...

I am not angry, just a little sad.

Why are you so angry?  
It has bad manners, but the main problem not in it
He does not know math  

The only way to do this, is by indexing the blockchain into some database. Note, this will consume a lot of space.

 


Uhm yeah....

Here is the PM I got, I will answer this in public.


Not sure what the problem is, its just a very simple jar file.


No it wont. It might accept 1 million lines, not sure about that, I never had to work with Java on that scale. I actually never had to work with anything on that scale. Anyway the bc.i API will certainly ban you. I dont see any personal use in checking a million addresses. Care to tell me why do you need to check so many? This code is definitly not company ready and I was under the impression that you are a person that wants to check the balance of your own address without the need of a wallet. E.g. to watch the balance of your paperwallets or something like that. Thats basically the extent what you can do with it. Put in a couple of addresses, run it and be happy that your paperwallets are still loaded. I probably understood the "a ton of" wrong in your first post.

Edit: I probably should have read the OP more carefully... 


Yes, this would be an option. This would however require you to follow DannyHamiltons advice and build a database, so my few lines of Java code will not help you there. If you allready have a local database that can just return a "getbalance" request you dont need an external tool that makes these requests.


No, I actually get a bad feeling every time someone asks me whether I have skype. Call it personal experience.


After I read this thread Id rather not help you. 1 Million keys is -as was argued allready by others above- not personal use. I have no idea what you are trying to do here and I honestly do not want to know.

The way you reacted [1] on gmaxwell's question make me not want to work with you, not even in the very unlikely case that you are indeed looking for an employee and need this for your very good running bussiness that legitematly has 1 million addresses (e.g. 1 for each customer) to track.

Enjoy the rest of your life.




[1] see my 1st quote as well as this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-the-gmaxwell-should-not-be-a-moderator-project-739699

We have to thank S.N. for the bitcoin technology, which allows us to have a consensus even with evils (if the number of them wouldn't >=51%).
OK, does he really want to empty the Pacific Ocean with a pipette? I can sell him a couple.

Sure, then in a totally unrelated sequence events sought a client that could import keys and beep when it received a transaction, claiming to have thousands of faucet keys from long ago he needed monitoring.

Then, again unrelated, his bitcoin-qt was falling over because it had so many keys loaded (which in my experience doesn't even happen at 100k keys).

Then totally unrelated his next question was software to check the balances of millions of addresses (when only a couple million in total have balances, but like totally they're all his), and his examples by complete and total coincidence happened to be keys one might have copied from d.io.

Then I asked what he was actually trying to achieve, because I'm totally evil and not because I noticed his repeated failure to make yak shaving progress, and also in passing ask if he was trying to crack keys— again because I'm an abusive moderator and not because I've seen people on many occasion ask a similar sequence of questions when they were and don't care to spend my time helping people rip people off in the Bitcoin community, and totally not because I'd noticed that his posts were inconsistent.

Then when he flipped out, wisely offending me— because I am totally not someone who could just hand him his answer directly or quickly cross compile some tool for his OS—, while also managing to provide zero information to explain what he was doing, both making himself look suspicious and failing to provide the required information so that other people could help him achieve his goals... and the fact that I was able to guess the private keys for his example pubkeys (which he ranted that he couldn't possibly be trying to crack because he'd have to know the private keys for them— it's really just my own idiocy why I can't understand how an import function that requires you to have the private keys doesn't imply that he has the private keys), this was all coincidence and in no way suggested his (still unspecified) goals were actually evil.

In reality there is some totally harmless and legitimate reason that he needs a programming free solution to monitor more addresses than are currently being used for funds in the whole network, beep when they receive them, while working with insanely low value near sequential private keys, while asking questions that mislead about his ultimate goals (and getting answers that are poor fits: Bitcoin-qt is an acceptable way to monitor thousands of addresses, not millions), and he can't disclose this reason because my puny mind is totally too small to contain an understanding. So the fact that I might suspect some foul play here is entirely my own fault and I deserve a heap of abuse for it.

Yea, you're right. That must totally be what happened here.

a) There is not a big problem to parse the whole blockchain, get ALL addresses ( both p2pkh and p2sh ) used from the beginning of bitcoin epoch with their balances. There are ~40-45 mln addresses right now, so the database will be 1-2gb - suitable for any modern computer

b) There is not a big problem to connect to bitcoin network, parse blocks and transactions and keep this database up-to-day (up-to-block to be correct)


pseudo-code:

There is a problem that such tool is absolutely useless and can be made only for fun.
No one will spend significant time to create and run this.
But... You may ask somebody to write such program for you. I think that 20...50 BTC is reasonable price.

May be he just found d.io site?

Actually that website 'publishes' all of them.

And for all those words, you still can't seem to explain what you're doing... Or why I knew the private keys for the addresses in your example. The tantrum is not making you any more convincing.

[Edit: Incidentally, there is no point in crapping up the thread with "quoted for reference" posts, I can delete or edit every post here.]
[Though, of course, I have no reason to do so, I'm completely comfortable with what I've written, much more so than you seem to be with your own position, which you continue to leave with the not-all-that-mystifying lack of justification— I'm just pointing out the quoting is a waste of space.]

quoted for reference, by the way thanks for the trust rating about something you know jack shit about based on your wild assumptions. what a troll. 

Oh yes, that must be it, i must be lacking in 5th grade math enough to not understand that the probability of finding 1 in 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337 is astronomically impossible.

Or

i must have missed the trillion threads that point out the obvious that generating 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337 64 charecter hex strings one at a time even with the most powerful computer on the planet would take about 5 million lifetimes

Or

i missed the million threads that again state the obvious that even if i could generate 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337 private keys, there are not enough Hard Drives on the planet to store the 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337 X 32 bites of data.

Or

Maybe i missed that someone published a few hundred trillion private keys on a website (directory.io) and that of ALL of them it did not amount to 1% of all possible keys, and not a single key he published contained a balance or for that matter, will ever in our lifetimes. But myself, with my little 4.2g 8 core processor on a 6 month old desktop thought i could do better. ?


Or...
Or.......

Now your all $@#ing idiots and cannot wrap your heads around maybe someone has a few million addresses they want to monitor for a pet project. and coincidentally they are smart enough to know that "cracking bitcoin" is IMPOSSIBLE as stated about a billion times since October of 2013.


Me, i'm in for the last one, your all idiots who read waaaaaaaay to much into crap as you are part of a community which was founded on and surrounded by thief's, scam artists, conn's and other nefarious types and it has since become your single train of thought in life that everyone who wants anything to do with bitcoin is up to something bad (except yourselves of course, your the only one who has good intentions ). You should do yourself a favor and sell all your bitcoin and run away as fast as you can before it melts what little bit of a brain you have left. 

Summary, your effin insane and bitcoin has melted your mind, and furthermore, someone with your mentality, the mentality of not being able to ask "hey, what do you need to check the balances of a few million addresses for?" before you automatically not only assume, but accuse a person of being a wanna be theif, is the perfect display of why there is no way in hell you should be a moderator.

Nice sleuthing Greg.  Perhaps he hopes to try all the private keys starting from zero lol.  

Ah, so since you weren't helpful in your response I thought I'd research some...

Looking at your past posts I see you were previously asking:


Then you complained about Bitcoin QT misbehaving with many addresses loaded (which means you have >100k loaded in it),  and here you're talking about millions.

I guess too would have a hard time explaining how being a "faucet and referral program whore" results in needing to scan 100k-1m+ addresses, and what use audible alerts were in relation to old inactive addresses of yours…

Incidentally, the private key of the first address in your list is

5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEtHwQJ6fmT7

and the second

5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsz591qCUVs

And anyone who thinks a bit about how I know that will probably share my conclusion that you're a fool and a wanna-be thief.  Buzz off.

I'd educate you on precisely why your moronic approach isn't going to net you any coins, but it's probably better for the world if you continue to remain in the dark until your moral character catches up with your typing ability.

Thats an awful lot of very defensive text without any explanation at all. I've encountered inept brainwallet crackers multiple times who had the laughable strategy of attempting a key and querying bc.i for its balance, until they rapidly find themselves banned, then they show up on the forum or chat asking a question a lot like yours— a way to query a lot of addresses.  Especially when they're asking about querying at a scale compariable to or larger than the number of addresses with spendable coins in existence in total.

In any case— I didn't say _you_ were attempting to do this,  I asked what you were doing and pointed out what my past experience is with the question (so that you might be aware of the kind of speculation your question might inspire).

Generally if you're seeking help it's advisable to describe what you're actually trying to accomplish so that people with experience can point you to the best solution— often when you've found yourself in an unsolvable rut it's because you took a wrong turn a few steps back, and are now headed down a blind ally—  and only asking complete questions can save you.

How the #$*@ did you end up a moderator?

1: having a list of addresses and being able to check them all at once has absolutely NOTHING to do with brain wallets Without the priv key you can do nothing with an address.

2: having the ability to monitor a ton of addresses without having to have any keys neither public or private has many uses, if i had more patience with people who are quick to make statements or accusations without first pulling their head out of their @$$ and reading the full OP i might even list them for you.

3: i dont know how in your twisted little head you came to the conclusion that checking balances without keys is for brainwallet cracking. If that were the case, blockchain.info and any other similar service are out to destroy BTC because they all allow it one address at a time, worse they let us explore the blockchain. If there were any logic behind your statement we all better sell all of our BTC as fast as we can as anyone can generate an address in 2 seconds and want to check the balance of it or even a million of them.


As for you...

I friggen love you man. ( in a non-homo kind of way)
