About Wallet Adress

[ekkutlu]

Do we need to manually enter the wallet address in the riches txt file? Or does the program generate addresses itself? Thanks

[rg2323]

i too would like to know

[marssystems]

Yes - you have to manually enter the addresses you want to search for into the riches.txt file.

[GitJhopa]

Yes - you have to manually enter the addresses you want to search for into the riches.txt file.

Let's say I entered the necessary addresses, what happens if the program finds them? How will I know about this?

[marssystems]

You will see the priv key displayed in the CMD window and a txt file will be produced containing the same info.

Run the test.bat file to see how it works.

[GitJhopa]

Thank you. I got it. The question is, can an application generate the same address bitcoin several times?
It’s also interesting, if I receive a SEED phrase, where should I enter it to gain access to the wallet? And an interesting question: what is the chance of finding the right wallet (let’s say I have 30 addresses in the list)?

[GitJhopa]

Please tell me where to upload this Seed phrase? To access your wallet?

[marssystems]

You need to enter the seed phrase into your wallet app.

[GitJhopa]

You need to enter the seed phrase into your wallet app.

Trustwallet ? Sorry for asking stupid questions. But I'm looking for wallets from 2009-2013. They were not created in TrustWallet - that's for sure. Where can I open these wallets then? In which applications?

And in general, will your application be able to find these wallets if you are very lucky? I indicated their addresses in riches.txt

[GitJhopa]

You need to enter the seed phrase into your wallet app.

Also, the question is, if I run the application several times, will it speed up the search? Or do you need to run 1 application on one computer?

[marssystems]

Yes - you can run more than 1 instance of the program.

[GitJhopa]

Yes - you can run more than 1 instance of the program.

Why is the Seed button not available?

[marssystems]

You will have to import the privkey into Bitcoin Core - should you find one.

[GitJhopa]

The private key is the Seed that your application finds?

[GitJhopa]

I indicated in riches.txt the addresses of Bitcoin wallets that have already been forgotten since 2010-2013. If the wallet finds it, it will give me the Seed of the wallet, but I looked at your example, there was a strange seed, it did not consist of 12 words.

[marssystems]

Your seed looks like a WIF file (Wallet Import Format), so you need to import it as text. (!think). I'm not familiar with Electrum.

[GitJhopa]

[marssystems]

The program will give you the Private Key of the wallet in HEX.

[GitJhopa]

Okay, now it’s clearer. What should I do with it next? (help me figure it out, and if I’m lucky, I will definitely thank you very well)

[GitJhopa]

Which of these should I take?

[marssystems]

Try compressed WIF

[GitJhopa]

[GitJhopa]

[GitJhopa]

[GitJhopa]

no working import key

[marssystems]

Sorry - I don't know.

[GitJhopa]

Then what is the point of the application, if even after recognizing the SEED phrase, you cannot use the wallet?

[GitJhopa]

I did it.

[GitJhopa]

It was necessary not to specify the wallet, but to immediately enter the private key.

[marssystems]

It is not a seed phrase - it is a privkey in HEX, which you need to import into your wallet.

[GitJhopa]

I just opened this wallet using this key.

[marssystems]

OK - try it.

[GitJhopa]

OK - try it.

Sorry for the questions, but are the addresses generated by the Compressed or Uncompressed program? I have launched about 10 programs so far and I don’t understand, what if it never generates this address that I specified in reaches.txt?

[marssystems]

The generator program generates private keys. It then converts the private key into a wallet address and then checks to see it the wallet address is in your riches.txt file. If it is, it prints it out to the CMD window and the success.txt file. If not, it generates another private key and repeats the process.

[GitJhopa]

Are there really so many addresses and combinations that people after 5-7 years cannot find private keys or seed phrases?

[GitJhopa]

Or are they just hoping for luck? Can someone launch the application and find it right away? And someone may never find it?

[GitJhopa]

The private keys generated by the application, do they apply to all Bitcoin addresses? I just heard something about BIP32, BIP44, BIP49 - what does this mean? For example, I’m looking for old addresses from 2009-2014, what BIP do they belong to and will the application generate a private key from them?

[marssystems]

No - just the ones beginning with 1......

[GitJhopa]

nice.

[MrJorman]

What is the chance of finding the right address if there are 100 of them listed? and the program is running on 20 powerful computers?

[marssystems]

I don't know - its random - so it can find an address in the next 10 minutes or maybe never - its like a lottery.

[GitJhopa]

I don't know - its random - so it can find an address in the next 10 minutes or maybe never - its like a lottery.

Can you tell me what line of code I should add so that it saves addresses in log.txt, let’s say those that it checked and sorted through so that addresses are created there.

[GitJhopa]

Roughly speaking, the logs should not be in the console, but saved in the file log.txt

[marssystems]

Why do you need that? - It doesn't help in any way.

[GitJhopa]

I did it already. I want to check duplicates of random addresses and personally see the search for the necessary addresses, in case the application does not search for the necessary addresses or there are many duplicates.

[marssystems]

I C - OK.
It will slow down the program BIG TIME ! and fill up your hard disk.

[GitJhopa]

I C - OK. It will slow down the program BIG TIME ! and fill up your hard disk.

Yes, I did it on a separate dedicated machine.

[GitJhopa]

https://github.com/albertobsd/keyhunt#testing-puzzle-63-bits this program good ?

[marssystems]

I don't know - I have never used it. - Give it a try.

[GitJhopa]

Does this application only work with the Internet or will it work the same without the Internet?

[marssystems]

What application?

[marssystems]

Bitcoin Stealer doesn't need the internet at all.

@marssystems , I’m currently running 12 instances of the app. Each instance is searching a riches.txt file with approximately 1.9 million different addresses beginning with “1…”.

Overall, the 12 app instances are searching a total ~22.8 million addresses.

Thoughts on this? Been running for many hours now, without hiccup/issue.
Will the apps each work a lot slower than if they were each searching for maybe 1,000, or 10,000 addresses.

P.s.
my rig is fine, RAM wise,
But the cpu is throttling at 100% — likely because I’ve got 12 separate instances running.

[fengshui8]

@marssystems theoretically and mathematically—
I feel like the likelihood of a hit has to be way higher— doing it this way.

But maybe I’m wrong?

[marssystems]

Sure! - the more instances of the program you run - the higher the chance of finding a wallet.

[fengshui8]

@marssystems

true that.

But do you have any insight, or any thoughts, regarding the massive “riches.txt” files that I’m searching.

Each of the 12 instances of the app that I’m running have a different 1.9 million addresses (beginning with “1…”).

So the 12 instances of the app are searching roughly 22.8 million different addresses.

Is this too many addresses?
Does this slow each instance of the application down?— like having to cross reference each address output across a riches.txt file with 1.9 million unique addresses?

[marssystems]

I don't think the size of the addresses.txt file is a problem. My file contains 24 million addresses. Its all done in memory - so its very fast.

[fengshui8]

@Michal2SAB how long have you been running the app for? And have you ever found a wallet?

[marssystems]

I don't run this app. I can't get coinkey to work on my computer.

[kimmelgeek]

anyone found any wallet with this program
