I found the following amidst discussion of your very own clone of directory.io (!):
On a legit note, I was bored as shit sitting in this hotel room as I travel for work.
I found an address with exactly the miner fee by randomly searching
http://btckey.space. I instantly ran down to the "news station" (What the UK calls a convenience store) and bought two scratch off lottery tickets, I didn't win, haha.
But I did stumble on an address with a balance...out of all these years....
You have better luck winning the lottery then getting struck by lightening, but it's not impossible.
I was randomly entering numbers in the URL and found an address with a very small balance (Miner fee). I didn't move the funds but it blew my mind I actually landed on something.
So, this was from randomly entering numbers
by hand into the URL bar of your browser? (Allegedly.)
Uh-huh.
By the way, I see that you
run LBC (and
vehemently defend it). Have you seen
rico666’s trust feedback? I wouldn’t trust anything executable from that guy on my machines. Just saying.
That's just the problem, how do I prove it? Tell me exactly how I can prove it.
How it actually works: If you want to prove your own positive assertion, that’s up to you, not me. Exponentiate this rule when you literally claim to have done the impossible, and thus proved its possibility (with your web browser URL bar, no less).
(I might speculate on how the biases involved in mashing numbers into a URL bar could find you a key which was produced nonrandomly. I
had been leaning toward DannyHamilton’s hypothesis #1. But the following (plus much of the context) conclusively persuaded me that #2, you’re lying.)
have some faith
Why can't you open your mind and believe?
Thanks, got it.
I have my own cult; I don’t need yours.
We are now far outside technical discussion and deep in kook territory. I’m not interested in that, and neither am I interested in (further) derailing the Vanitygen thread. Please leave this thread to discussion of Vanitygen and the generation of vanity addresses.
Edit to add—somehow, I’d missed this post:
actually i believe address collisions happen all the time and are more common then people think.. the issue is MOST addresses are unused.. so if you search through a bunch for a vanity you still dont use the ones you didnt want..
Really, “all the time”? You “believe”? Without numbers, that’s an empty (and wildly absurd) proposition; and the numbers will not support you there. 2
160 is so much bigger than you think (or “believe”) it is, that what I just said is an understatement.
Anyway, this is still off-topic for the Vanitygen thread. If (
if) you can demonstrate that “address collisions happen all the time and are more common then
[sic] people think” using numbers rather than beliefs, please open a new topic in Development & Technical Discussion. I’d be fascinated to see that. I won’t hold my breath.
That's not what I did to find it. I generated a random number then I just kept clicking next and then deleting the last number off the URL no real rhythm, click click click, remove last number in URL, click click, etc.
I have no reason to lie brother and I can't prove myself to not be a liar with this particular claim. You can't prove that you're right either. Does this make a collision theory? Can't be proven right or wrong. Although I found an address.
However, you are correct, this is not the thread for this conversation.
Yes, I did clone directory.io and added balances.
Yes, I participate in LBC.
I never denied any of that and surely that makes my claim even more deniable by association but the only way I could have found it is by being associated with the search.
I'll start a thread about my find, purely for entertainment. I would like if you joined in as you have. Danny Hamilton, you should join in also. I will be in Chicago soon, maybe we can get lunch or drinks or both. On my way home from Australia, probably lying about that too.
I could care less about Rico reputation, I am only associated with him by LBC and it runs on a junk dedicated I use to play with stuff.
P. S.
If you judge someone's character by their trust rating on a website then why don't you trust me?
