python3 btc-heist.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pradeep/bitdata/btc-heist/btc-heist.py", line 8, in
from bitcoin import sha256, privtopub, pubtoaddr
ImportError: cannot import name 'sha256' from 'bitcoin' (/home/pradeep/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bitcoin/init.py)

I tried this a while ago and it worked (never found any keys tho), but wanted to try again, but it seems that lambda has changed so that the script doesn't work anymore.

Any fix for this?

I noticed that is only generating P2PKH addresses. perhaps it should generate bech32 addresses as well? or am is there something i dont know?

When i inspect publist it shows addresses with a newline character at the end eg
'1HLvaTs3zR3oev9ya7Pzp3GB9Gqfg6XYJT\n'

Wont '1HLvaTs3zR3oev9ya7Pzp3GB9Gqfg6XYJT' in publist always return False because theres no newline?
Sorry, am a beginner with python

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I ended up getting a private key linked to a bitcoin public address. https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3HNKev43v3EW6Biu5TwTVgKrDCzPCjzpCH

I can't put the address into Electrum or anything like that, because it's encrypted (maybe). If anyone could help me that'd be really great. Thanks!

I tried this a while back and encountered errors - now though it seems to be running fine (afaict!)

With 4 cores assigned, in my terminal I see output similar to this:

Core 1: 297.9564428435123 Key/s
Core 3: 297.90323885741793 Key/s
Core 2: 297.8204587148471 Key/s
Core 0: 297.81286038834 Key/s

Could you explain what this is telling me, please? I thought at first that the initial 3 digits were counting down / decrementing- but that doesn't seem to be the case as they're now increasing.

Also, I presume that if I were to cancel running the script and start it again tomorrow - it would begin working through Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt from the start of the file, rather than pick up where it left off?

Thanks

Hi
i am grateful to you for creating such a script. however when it is running, i noticed that after three hours all my Ram is used up. Then the PC will hang until i cold boot it. i tried windows pc and when my task manager Ram usage have increased to 100% the pc hang there until i force a shutdown and reboot. I tried ubuntu and it was running but when system monitor shows Ram at 100% usage it hangs too.

Can you modify the script to consumes a static amount of Ram not incremental as it is now.

i am a newbie, and i am ashamed to say that i can't help myself do that.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards
Xander

💎🤲

RAM usage continues to grow until maxed out. I tried clean install of everything and on a new computer. Any suggestions?

it will faster if you use tpu or gpu for processing, can you please make it?
*sorry for my bad english

Hello sir
Sorry to bother I was just going through your repo to see if you could help me. The problem I have is with my wallet private key characters, I mistakenly damaged the piece of paper I wrote it on, so I was wondering if you could help me write a program that will brute Force all the 10 missing characters very fast and find the correct characters and in return I will make a donation of 2 BTC to you if I find the correct keys

public_addresses_sorted.txt needs to be created manually. why not add it in the repo?
secondly, how and when does it save files to the found keys?

i've been running this for some time now but the text files are empty. If i ctrl+c the terminal, no output is saved
Core :0 K/s = 154.19959386987188

looking through the list and looking them up and i have found several with no balance. and they were swept thousands of blocks ago

Hello can't Run the Script whats false? Have Install Python3, Install pip , Install wget. After wget https://bitkeys.work/btc_balance_sorted.csv
