Topic: site shares bitcoin addresses database (Read 1419 times)
This site is obviously put up by somebody or somebodies not at all interested in the long-term viability of the bitcoin network. Quite the opposite imho.

I've sent a tiny test amount to a known address (Password: 1337 - 15w3bGS6L2EGXamLPNEPfPUWHCnjqZQ35v) and it took exactly 2 seconds to be taken. Amazing
How did it get taken exactly?
People use scripts that monitor addresses of brain wallets and when coins are sent to the brain wallet they will push a TX that sends the coins to an address that they control
Just be careful clicking over to the site in case it's phishing or stealth downloading shit to actually copy your wallet info if it's there.
As much as I detest knowing hackers would do all this shit instead of legit work, I have to hand it to them and give credit - it does take legitimate work to pull off a hack that successfully steals money...so if they can get it, they kinda deserve it
(I feel so unclean now having admitted that)

just found one wallet but no more btc on it. There was 2 btc in spt 2013
Do they have bots scanning for these?
Almost certainly.
I dont understand how they can be scanning addresses so quick? 
An optimized search of the list shouldn't take more than a fraction of a second. Generating, signing, and broadcasting the transaction that steals the funds should also be a fraction of a second.
@Danny how are they automating the forwarding of correct horse battery staple ? Cron ?
If it were me doing it, I wouldn't bother with cron. Cron only wakes up once every minute.
Instead, I'd create a custom bitcoin daemon that acts as a node receiving and forwarding all bitcoin transactions as they are relayed throughout the network. Any time it receives a transaction to an address that it's designed to auto-forward, it would create the forwarding transaction and relay it immediately after it relays the received transaction. The delay between the sending of the initial transaction and the stealing of the funds would be limited only by the time it takes for the first transaction to be relayed to my node, and the time it takes to build and sign a rawtransaction.

I agree. It's amazing that it took that long. I would have expected it to be taken in less than 0.1 second.
And all the dusts collected from 'Correct horse battery staple', including this private key stealing website, are being deposited to this final address.

This is how they have collected 1 BTC.

Hopefully no one is stupid enough to type in their whole private key in the search box....
I tried
it doesn't search for a private key, just for an addressLike tyring to open car doors until one does? Then people steal the cars or the things inside.
Still opening car doors isn't a bad thing, but stealing cars and things inside is a bad thing, don't you agree?
Yeah but trying to guess peoples passwords isnt good is it? 
using bitcoins that you don't own isn't good, but guessing passwords is just guessing passwords

The idea is that someone would try writing in a part of their private key to check if it is present in the database, then SNAP, the owner has got a partial private key, even if you search for the first 40 characters it will still give the owner an incredibly significant edge over trying to guess a private key randomly.

I suppose, but it wont stop people trying to use it for bad things though. Can it be used for anything beneficial?
IDK, may be some analytics or statistics, or brain training (like guessing passwords)... in any case a lot of usual things (like fork, knife or hammer) can also be used for "bad things".

Only bad things would come of it anyway.
Bad things? Which bad things? If some site can do any harm to such mighty cryptocurrency as Bitcoin, then the Bitcoin is not so mighty and it's not worth it to keep your money in bitcoins, right?. But it's really funny in fact. I don't think there can be any harm or at least it's very very very unlikely - the probabilty is tooooo looow.

I don't get what anyone could use it for.
