Brute forcing 50 bits of entropy would cost $1000 of AWS CPU time and a Bitcoin private key has 256 bits of entropy, so that would be roughly a 60-digit number times $1000 -- completely impossible and not even close to being profitable.

We all know that it is almost impossible to accomplish, but it is lottery, there is always chance Wink

i read the white paper and it seems you target only the first 25.000 blocks(?) to track satoshi's private keys. are the odds of finding the private keys slightly "increased" with your system? Wink

A very interesting discussion about this was done here, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-much-time-to-crack-a-private-key-139735 - Look at the explanation provided by DannyHamilton.

So you would just be wasting processing power and money that could have been used for mining and your returns on that might have been much better in the long run, if you stuck to Alt coin mining. ^smile^

I agree with you on everything you said.. this project has nothing to do with efficiency, only fun and a bit of humor.
if it was making sense to brute force bitcoin keys, why would anyone even want to use bitcoin.
the name of the project is galactic lottery because you need galactic luck to win. i know its dumb but hey, someone had to build it right?
