https://keys.lol is just as fun.

logicallee•1h ago

This is really fun, I like it a lot. It's great that it's all client-side, real, and does exactly what it says.

sunir•1h ago

I don't get it. That wasn't hard. What do I do with the key now that I have it?

soperj•1h ago

Post it on here. We'll all help you out.

gavmor•1h ago

Nothing much, since quantum supremacy will drive all coins to zero, but it is a biohazard.

Email it to me and I'll safely dispose of it for you at a responsible E-waste site.

The honest thing to do is to return the key you found to its owner Satoshi Nakamoto.

kibwen•40m ago

Same here. I guess "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx12345" made it easy for Satoshi to remember, though.

jan_Sate•1h ago

lol. It's fun. Not that I could ever guess it right realistically but it's fun.

This kind of fun thing's exactly why I'm on the internet. Thanks for sharing! :D

I made a similar concept, but it wasn't self hosted. I never made the front page though! Congrats. Could you add a video of the experience to GitHub. Without that I wasn't willing to download and give it a go

m3kw9•1h ago

maybe some quantum algo can guess every key at once.

m3kw9•1h ago

Why wouldn't the host just send themselves the key first and then have everyone pull slot machine for them. If you do win it, you are not seeing a penny if you roll from that site.

FajitaNachos•1h ago

Generally agree that most services like this would at a minimum log a matching key w/ alert. I'm not going to audit the code but maybe OP has good intentions.

rokkamokka•58m ago

There's no realistic chance it'll be correct anyway

sunrunner•48m ago

Not with that attitude it won’t

pixel_popping•42m ago

Yeah, people really have no faith.

opengrass•1h ago

There's also the Large Bitcoin Collider. Last time coins were recovered was 9 years ago. https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/about

m3kw9•1h ago

what does it mean Loaded 21954 wallets ?

A better project would be to take the exact key generation function at the time Satoshi started it and mine possible PRNG parameters.

sunrunner•52m ago

99% of gamblers quit before they win big. In this case, really big. I am going to be the 1%. Or should that be the 1.9e-71%.

sciencesama•52m ago

can use collaborated list to remove the random numbers that failed already.

ivanjermakov•49m ago

That's gonna be a nice storage bill!

CobrastanJorji•42m ago

Let's see...2^241 or so possible 256 bit numbers, so that's 256 * 2^241, so that's....10^50 yottabytes. Obviously we're gonna need cloud storage for all this, so let's say that's about 2 cents per gigabyte/month, so that's...2.2614 × 10^63 dollars per month?

Actually, why does the site list the odds as ~1 in 5.27 × 10⁷²? That's 2^241, but it's picking random 256 bit numbers. Is it because there are so many valid hits?

CobrastanJorji•49m ago

What's really fun is that, if you win and do anything about it, Bitcoin's value immediately crashes.

felooboolooomba•31m ago

Yes, but I think it'll back up within a year. It's crazy.

amarant•43m ago

I dunno if I'm missing something, but I can't see the actual guessed key anywhere on the site?

So if I win, I won't be able to actually claim the Mooney's?

Hakkin•40m ago

The key shows up if you win, you can simulate it by adding ?devwin=1 to the URL.

amarant•12m ago

Oh. That makes sense I guess.

I don't think it'll ever show for reals

ex-aws-dude•37m ago

Question is does the dev sneak in some secret notification code if someone hits it?

aqme28•32m ago

No reason to--no one will hit. You have much much much chance at guessing a random number that solves the next bitcoin block and mining the old fashioned way.

Hmm, maybe this can help me win the Monopoly Lottery :)
