Check this modded version, it has random mode https://github.com/djmuratb/BitCrack2 |

How to create the .bat file for address 1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF |
|
For random mode |
|
You mean the command line? Something like this (using BitCrack2 that I already mentioned): |
|
thanx man! how did you find out that the address is uncompressed? |
|
Compression was introduced in 2012 with bitcoin core v0.6.0, so any address first transaction that happened before that release (29/03/2012) is 100% uncompressed.
However, new keys generated/used right after that date might have still used an old version and could be uncompressed. Modern wallets (>2012) generate compressed keys by default, but it's possible to generate uncompressed if specified on purpose with other tools like vanity generators. https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html pay attention to the "First In" dates. Good luck hunting. |

Thanx man! |

I did some more digging and realized the public key can actually be found on the blockchain, as long as the address signed a transaction (spent coins). Here's a very simple tool that does that https://github.com/GonzoTheDev/BitcoinPublicKeyGrabber it basically fetches the pubkey from However, if the address is dormant, like the one in question, then its public key is NOT on the blockchain, therefore it's impossible to know its compression, and we're back at deducing from the date, as I suggested. Final note, I did some tests and found that multi-signature addresses don't have their pubkeys on the blockchain, which makes sense because the transactions are signed by multiple keys. |

if we know the public key of the address then we can also use https://github.com/JeanLucPons/Kangaroo do you know how to use kangaroo? |
|
I haven't tried Kangaroo yet, I know that people use it to crack the bitcoin challenges. |

it is showing me these logs. what does this 31 bit 33bit 34 bit 35 bit 36, 37,38 ....bit means? C:\Users\Barthwal\Downloads\bitcrack2\BitCrack2-master\x64\Release>BitCrack.exe -b 64 -t 256 -p 1024 --rstride 5 -u 1P1iThxBH542Gmk1kZNXyji4E4iwpvSbrt |
If we want to target this address
1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF
In random mode
How should we create the bat file?
