FUN > ROI
Simple crude calculation:

Timeline:
(timeline destroyed by quote font)

Entropy is a bitch.
The crudeness in this is really the timeline.  While we have a pretty good idea of roughly (in billions of years or so) when the big bang was, the sun accumulated enough mass, when it'll burn out and eventually the heat death of the universe, these are relatively fixed points in time and they aren't going to move around on that timeline very much.

For finding a key collision,

it could just as easily be:                 , you finding k
big bang       sun was born      now. /         sun dies       existing stars burn out                       all matter evaporated
     |-------------|---------------||-------------|---------------|-----------------------------------------|
     0                 9.2e9            13.8e9             19e9                 1e15                                               1e34

( not to scale Wink )
It's just that the odds of that being the case are very, very, very (rinse and repeat a lot) low.  Of course the odds are exactly the same for your point along the timeline, or for any other point along the timeline within the bounds as proposed, to the point where statistically speaking it doesn't make sense to even try.

Winning the lottery is very unlikely also, but someone has to win eventually. If you use random numbers, the very next number chosen COULD be it. ...

Sure, but you have to include the fact that the number space is huge. The number of tickets in a lottery are at least contained in a pool from which you know a winner is drawn. That is different than looking for a number in a huge range of integers.

Simple crude calculation:

2160 bitcoin addresses
2 billion computers worldwide1
3 million addresses checked per day on a computer2
2160 / ( 2e9 * 3e6 * 365 ) = 667e27 years

Timeline:

big bang       sun was born          now             sun dies       existing stars burn out   you finding k       all matter evaporated
     |-------------|---------------|--------------|---------------|-----------------------|-----------------|
     0                 9.2e9            13.8e9             19e9                 1e15                         667e27                1e34

Using a python script is not a very efficient method of brute forcing it.
I have a feeling that a lot of total noobs are seriously thinking that it is possible this way.
Then again chance, randomness, and probabilities are very counter intuitive.
It is just not possible to grasp the numbers involved.

Does anybody know how much k's can be checked per second with that python script?

Winning the lottery is very unlikely also, but someone has to win eventually. If you use random numbers, the very next number chosen COULD be it. What the hell.  :-D  If you are checking a particular range and it's not in that range, then you are truly wasting time. The only shot you had was in picking that range and no way to know if it is correct beforehand.

I'm checking maybe 3 mill a day on one fast PC. But I'm still not convinced the code is correct since EK is not answering.

All I can read in the scrpt is :

sex = CurveFp( _p, _a, _b )
ass = Point( sex, _Gx, _Gy, _r )

Sex and Ass?Huh? Now how should I understand this?Huh

Bitdice is scam scam scammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This is posible to do only with computing power? Or you can do it by simply math.
Edit: if its a random number why don't simply use a bot starting with 1,2,3,4,5,......999,1000,1001....


Read posts above.
Number can be from 1 to 2^256 it may take 1000 years to solve this in that way.

Guys this is not lotto!

Guys seriously,

OP is either drop dead idiot or just amuses himself with everyone around that tries to come up with a "solution".

what is that k for ?

If you find the K you will find the private key to the address written in that script! Smiley

so you can import that address to your wallet Tongue

unfortunately it has 0 BTC Smiley
