Topic: List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance - page 8. (Read 8765 times)

Your file name is different from mine: did you download (and uncompress) addresses.loyce.club/Bitcoin_addresses_August_24_2021.txt.gz?
That file is sorted already, and I just checked the command to confirm it still works. What exactly did you do to get this file?

Need help

Need to sort the bitcoin_addresses_25.08.2021.txt file somehow?

You can choose from many different methods. For instance: in Bitcoin Core, click Window > Information, It shows: "Current block height 694768". Or use Blockchain.com's explorer's Latest Blocks.

If you want a nice visualization with it, use Billfold's BitBonkers. Turn on your sound, put it to full screen, and watch transactions and blocks drop from the sky. Click balls for details.

This doesn't have much to do with this topic, so I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for.

Hi! How to get latest block numbers?

I want this to be a long-term project. If it's going to cost 720 euro for 10 years, I won't keep it up forever.

I've never used a seedbox, but a regular VPS is very convenient.

Those are more annoying for humans than for bots, so I won't do that. I'd rather implement a 10 sat LN payment for each download

Or so! It's a great option, took a look on google for seedboxes and found this (first link) https://seedbox.io/shared-seedbox/ there's a monthly payment (6 euros) but there's unlimited traffic.
But there are some cons:
1) There's a fee to be paid monthly (6 euros)
2) The hassle to upload the files every day on that seedbox
3) You should implement some google captcha to download directly from loyce.club.

it worth the work?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not going to do this. I don't like using a third party that requires additional attention from the downloader. If anything, I'll use Torrent in the future.

Hi LoyceV,
I really appreciate your work, but I have a question... you can upload the content on https://wetransfer.com/ and use that for the main link, and somewhere in the page add the link on your host. It would save loooooots of traffic.

Well, it got worse:

What's wrong with people? The same 1 GB file got downloaded approximately 200 times in an hour, this time using Google servers. And since incoming bandwidth is free, they can just burn through my bandwidth with virtually no cost. But why? Just spam my feedback like normal people if you don't like me

I've increased the IP-bans, I now DROP entire IP ranges.

This still applies:

I have been monitoring the total number of funded addresses here , with the data provided by LoyceV here

Segwit adoption keeps growing, look at this chart:


https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-funded-addresses.html

Since Sep 2020, the total number of Bech32 addresses had more than 100% increase!
There were 1,552,770 total funded addresses (5%), and now we have 4,046,320 (10,8%).

The number of P2SH addresses had a small increase as well, from 19,4% to 22%.

And the total number of Legacy addresses is basically the same, 23 to 25 millions addresses.

---

We can conclude that most of the new created addresses are Bech32 and P2Sh addresses, while the total number of Legacy grows at a much slower rate

Just added this text to the website:

See my other topic: List of all Bitcoin addresses ever used.
However: I've been struggling to find an affordable host that can handle the data processing, so I haven't updated it in months. And since a few days, my temporary server is offline (and hasn't responded yet).
I don't really want to spin up a paid-by-the-hour VPS just for this.

Greetings to the audience!

I ask experienced users to tell me what tools I can use to collect a file containing all the bitcoin addresses that have ever had a positive balance.

Maybe there is ready-made software that can do this.

Thank you in advance

This is new:

Since a few days, it looks like someone is downloading the latest version multiple times per hour, while I only update it once a day. I don't like having to look at logfiles, but it seems to be coming from different IP-addresses.
If someone made a mistake in a cronjob: please set it to download once a day! If this doesn't stop I'll have to ban some IPs

Update: From the past few days, I've identified 101 different IP addresses that downloaded the same file in the same way 169 times. The IPs I checked are owned by Microsoft. Maybe a proxy server or VPN? Either way, I'll DROP their connections now. I expect to add more IPs to the list later. I don't like the way someone burns through 50 GB bandwidth per day.

Although unlikely: If I added your IP by mistake: please PM me.
If you don't want me to know which forum account belongs to which IP: setup a throw away email to contact me:

As expected: 2 new downloads with 2 new IP addresses. I'll now try to DROP their connection within a few seconds, so their download won't complete. I'm still curious who's doing this, and why. It's especially annoying that it's a new IP-address all the time, now I risk banning real users. But at the rate this is going, my 2 TB bandwidth won't make it to the end of the month.

I'd love to have a more professional way to handle this

maybe another idea than bruteforce.
Generating billions of new BTC addresses and checking for one generated would be included in the list --> illegal gambling

Thanks for your answer. It was a curiosity of how many addresses are untouched for more than 10 years.
From my point of view brute forcing of sha256 encrypted private keys is a waste of time.

Someone asked a similar question by PM a couple weeks ago. This was my response:
But it's a bit more work than I currently want to do for this, especially because "inputs" doesn't show input addresses, so it takes some additional steps.
If you do get the data out of this, please post it on Bitcointalk
