ALL BICOIN PRIVATE KEYS LEAKED! [This is one of the best jokes ever!]

in #bitcoin8 years ago

It was December, 2013 when this web-page was published and scared many! Lot of people thought it to be fake because they didn't understand it completely.

It's quite old but I decided to share it anyway because it provides greater insight about the security of bitcoin and other similar alt-coins.

For those of you who don't fully understand/missed this, here's what's actually happening:

Private keys are basically numbers from 1 to 1.15792E77.(slightly less than that) Every page lists 128 private keys starting from 1.
Each time a specific page is requested, 128 keys belonging to that page and their corresponding addresses are calculated and displayed.

In page 2 for example private keys range from 129 till 256 and so on..

He was right in saying that it has all addresses but he lied by saying that it's a database. Obviously he was joking but it showed how strong the security of math behind Bitcoin is.

So it isn't a database. And such a database cannot be made because read this article here. [reddit article]
