Just for some fun hosting the script on our site:

You gotta be in it to win it. May the luck be on your side!

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.

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^

If you look only at the P2PK utxos (not at the P2PKH ones), the problem would boil down to getting a private key from the public one. No hash256 or ripemd160, no addresses, only public keys.

The difficulty of the discrete logarithm problem is "only" 128 bits, not 256.



So, it would possible bruteforce Satoshi Nakamoto private key?

It would easier (but too difficult).

Maybe 1 days it will be found Grin

See this one:



Even if I open in a new window or keep the tab open, nothing hapens.
I havent test out on a smartphone yet because i do open this on my own pc with Chrome browser and it do works.

-> Download Google Chrome and test the script and dont make use of Stock mobile phone browser.It might work on you and lastly, why do concern so much about that key generating script? Cool

I'm on Linux (Arch btw) and I use Firefox and no I will not download Chrome Smiley I really just commented that It doesn't work for me.

Found this today. Interesting project with a fitting name Smiley the site works, but I seem to be unable to run the scrypt.

I tryed the script on PC and also on Smartphone (Android). It works an all devices




I get directed to a site with a terminal that is only a black window: https://screenshots.firefox.com/xjC9eJoHE3USbnQw/www.thegalacticlottery.com
See this one:





And why is dead? Don't seem!

Its still working but i do mean about "dead" about on the support thing. Is there anyone leave out their PC running that script after all these days? Cheesy

One question...Is there any shared and open source database?


My "results" (so Private Keys) where will be saved?

Any news about this project? Smiley
Its long dead dude!

If you do just read up on whats being written on WP.I dont know if you would like to test out.

Abstract: The website “The Galactic Lottery and Satoshi’s Lost Keys” offers users (regardless of religion, race, sex, or technological background) a chance to try their luck in uncovering Satoshi’s lost keys. The website is completely free, and connectable via any personal computer or smartphone. If the user’s computer successfully guesses Satoshi’s private key, that user becomes Satoshi himself !!!The user gains the opportunity to copy the private key that he uncovered, to restore it in any ordinary Bitcoin wallet, and to unlock the lost Bitcoins that are stored in that private key.

And why is dead? Don't seem!

I hope the white paper will make you laugh Cheesy

a good concept, as its JS so i believe if 100000 people tried on your site each day, someday someone will get it, hopefully before our solar system death

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

Definitely fixed!  Cheesy
hope you all enjoy it..

script page: http://www.thegalacticlottery.com/?page_id=106

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 Grin

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?
