I need anyone owning these addresses to stop using them because I know their private keys, just stop using them, I will never steal a satoshi from them I'm just letting you know.

Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
ImHash in 06/03/2017 I have found the private key of the address which I am signing this message with, and I do not own this address and shall not take any amount from it.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----

Can you explain what you think a hash collision is? I have a feeling there might be a misunderstanding because (like the second or third poster said) the chances of finding any collision is insanely low, let alone a bunch of collisions. And "manual collision" is a term I'm unfamiliar with. Would love to understand what you claim to have found

Newbies should follow these basic steps to start their cold storage and avoid these vanity addresses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TmN4STr_ug

The possibility of finding collisions is very slim and basically impossible if you look at the math behind it. People can make claims like this, and

when you ask for proof, they stop or make excuses. Watch the video above and decide for yourself.  Wink

Collision is a problem that must be solved by finding the key then the problem is finished and will be resolved properly. If you can show 2 different private keys that both point to the same address.

I didn't know about directory.io I just tried a few random 99 characters to generate addresses in bitaddress.org and after checking one address I saw that it has been used
This only proves you are just as bad at generating random characters as someone else. In other words, what you call random isn't as random as you think it is.

There is trouble abrewing
... why couldn't I find any private key starting with K? ...

private key is just a number. you can see that number in uncompressed form which is starting with 5 (address in middle column) or see it in compressed form (addresses in right column)
if you place your mouse over the private keys (starting with 5 on left column) you can see the numbers: 1, 2, ..... and as you click next page the code simply generates the private keys in base58 on the go based on those numbers: 100, 101, ...

Is directory.io a joke or a real thing? I already found more than 40 used addresses and some of them are even active till recently, also why couldn't I find any private key starting with K? all I could manage to find were keys starting with 5 but never K I searched a few trillions of pages and eventually gave up but I was amazed by the length of the page numbers Cheesy

I tried 5000000 page/3780000000000000/4649999999999999999999 and so on but never a key with K, is that directory outdated and doesn't have new keys or wasn't that supposedly contain all the possible keys?

I try your method. I go to bitaddress.org and type random number and generate an address. Eventually when I try to checked, its been unused. So I guess, your method doesn't work or I did it wrong.  Cheesy

I did it on my own without any past knowledge about them. I'm not going any further with this and even if I find a full address I would never take anything from it.

Ok I didn't understand anything...

But to say it in a short and not technical way:
-The adresses he found are just very easy to crak like putting  "admin" as a password?
-The adresses you generate in wallets like Electrum aren't like this?

Short answers yes / no they are not.

Basically you can go to sleep and enjoy it because this is a non-issue, nothing to worry about it.

There's no way you can found private keys of bitcoin address by manual collision unless you found weakness/pattern how bitcoin address/private key is generated in certain bitcoin wallet OR you could break ECDSA easily.

Directory.io.. even you should remember how that drama played out

Basically those are very low entropy private keys. Pretty much what this contest is about

Same public keys as you found.

Yawwwwwn

more drama that just goes over the nonsense of a few years ago, all related to...

directory.io

its not natural collision. it was 'prepared' / drama collision.

what some dont realise is the first few thousand addresses had at the time a little bit of funds placed on the early numbers randomly and purposefully as a kind of "omg they are active" tempter of creating fake drama of 'omg collission happen alot'

but anyway spend your life going through every key, ask your great great great grandkids to carry on your project after you pass. you wont get far, and thats the point

You will have to do it like this:
insert 1 with 98 zeros in front of it and then 11 with 97 zeroes, 111 with 96 0s and repeat the same thing with 1-2-3-4-5- and when you are done finding used address you'll have to check and see if it has any balance, you'll end up dead and yet to find a full address.lol

does these collisions work for any other alts like ETH for example? Or Just BTC?

Goodbye, Z.
I'll just leave this here.

- snip -
for instance 1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm has seen a few transactions (its empty now), can anyone hazard it's private key?

Oh and this.

Is it possible to find collisions like this using B6 even if someone never generated an address with this method but we could find their private keys?
That's roughly as likely as using any other method for generating private keys.
You find trivial ones (like the 1) that people used either because of novelty or because of stupidity/ignorance.

Was this Satoshi's address?
No, Satoshi isn't an idiot.

Damn now I'm exposed Cheesy the whole point of me posting this publicly is exactly to let such people know this is not the way to generate their addresses.
Now I have a question:
Is it possible to find collisions like this using B6 even if someone never generated an address with this method but we could find their private keys?
I even posted this on rico666 collision thread but he was rude and deleted my post.

the whole point of it seems more like trolling. because people already know there is no way of finding a collision and those who are not familiar with bitcoin won't come to the conclusion based on the thing you wrote!
the rico666's so called collision is a stupid thing that is exactly finding these keys that are left there with a high chance of being found. these are all small numbers.
and we have not yet forgotten the rootkit in his code which opened up "doors in the back" in computers of those who ran it Wink

if I reveal the method which I found them then you will be able to get them as well but I used B6 method to find them.
This would imply that Bitcoin and basically almost the whole crypto ecosystem is broken. Please stop this nonsense. PM me the alleged *method*.
step 1: open a new tab
step 2: type in this url directory.io
step 3: choose a couple and select and press Ctrl+c
step 4: come here and press Ctrl+v

Learning the troll avoidance button :)
The manual collision entries could have been related to the blockchain wallet issue a few years ago if someone messed with RNG.
It could just be a bugging exchange wallet though but I don't see the origin address for these wallets so hard to say.

Does happen rarely if someone code is crud lol... although I prefer the trolling than actual finds :p.

I don't see why not. Either way you are using the 99 digits to create the private key so... this could work with any address. I hope no one tried something else like 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000002

Couldn't these addresses still be encrypted under BIP38?
