Does anyone know the biggest collections of pairs of private keys and their corresponding P2PKH addresses? I'm curious about the kind of training data that might be used for AI models. Appreciate any info!

Okay, thanks. So it is really improbable. I'm still a bit unseasy to have no edge against the "three times quickly" scenario, but I guess nothing is truly certain.

I’ve got a question for the newbies here. Imagine this wild scenario: some hacker, through pure luck (since it’s nearly impossible to find a private key), manages to swipe some bitcoins from one of the very first blocks…

The people I surrounded myself with are toxic people and they changed me, or they thought they did for the worse, but for me it was for the best, I have no luck like people who have good ones around them, I have always…

Thank you to all. Same block is what is needed, and indeed a larger fee seems to have worked in some cases I have seen.

Got a newbie question about network speed in 2025. Let’s say I want to watch a long-dormant wallet A, and if it sends a transaction to another wallet B, like tomorrow at 10:09:26, I want my bot to send a transaction to…

Thank you very much baro77, will watch this with great interest!

What are some cool research papers by mathematicians focusing on bitcoin? I'm interested in both theoretical stuff like elliptic curves and practical things like optimization techniques for brute force searches. Thanks!

I'm curious about how many addresses with private keys that are known to hackers and stealing bots are being actively watched. I’d guess somewhere around 10^12 private keys initially. Then there are definitely a bunch…

Thank you, the numbers you give definitely suggest lots of very cool addresses exist, nice.

Let's say I'm trying to locate a private key that generates a P2PKH address with a specific target string, like HelloWorld. Do we think all reasonably long target strings can be found with some private keys, or are…

Thanks to all for both the on topic and off topic answers, very informative.

I was just curious, so I checked out the private key for the first 64 digits of Pi in hex format: 1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923 This leads to a P2PKH address:…

Thank you nc50lc, we're close now: indeed on sourceforge the v0.2 has it (dated 2009-12-14) and the v0.1.5 hasn't (dated 2009-08-30), so if those dates are correct then it indeed must have been implemented around…

Thank ypu very much Dave, it lead me to 0.3 on sourceforge which already had the new key thing https://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/code/HEAD/tree/tags/0.3.0/main.cpp

Thank you Dave. Does anybody know in which release it changed and where is the corresponding source code?

Thank you. I saw that also but I was puzzled since I thought the change was sent to a new adress, not an existing one.

Hey there, So in Bitcoin Core v0.1, if you check out the main.cpp file starting from line 2514, you'll find this function called CreateTransaction. Inside of it, there's a snippet that goes like this: // Fill vin…

October is always a bullish month as per past history but anything is possible in crypto space, my bullish expectation hasn't exceed when inflation rate cut to the downside and Trump win the election. I've made a lot of…
