3 years ago I use this in a .bat file -
java -jar D:\Guess\GuessPrivateKey.jar 6 bit.txt

3 years ago I'm not sure, may be it's a bug of bitcoinj (the library I use). But the way you search is not efficient (looking randomly).
Normally, I'd search sequentially from a number (right now I'm searching for something between 2^63 and 2^64). The command could be:
$java -jar -Xmx6g GuessPrivateKey.jar 8 bit.txt up 8897948761493052818

3 years ago Is there any way to test the program with a known private key and wallet address to see if it works as it should or if something isn't quite right?

3 years ago I have created a privkey/ address pair - KwYaXBMQaVAoGEMsKQBV4yzCqSjpoYUG1Mh9iNcXw1xYCBg5mtco / 12csdWkGm6qHPLtAeimY4EPJK6TYeNV4LR
I put the address in a file called test.txt I want to use the command - java -jar D:\Guess\GuessPrivateKey.jar 6 test.txt up KwYaXBMQaVAoGEMsKQBV4yzCqSjpoYUG1Mh9iNcXw1xYCBg5mtco
but I don't know if the program searches in HEX or DEC. I will need to convert the privkey to something that the program will accept. I think that at the moment the privkey is in WIF format.

3 years ago You can put the following addresses into bit.txt to test:
1BgGZ9tcN4rm9KBzDn7KprQz87SZ26SAMH

1BDyrQ6WoF8VN3g9SAS1iKZcPzFfnDVieYthe private keys of those addresses are smaller than 65535
so you can test with command:
$java -jar -Xmx6g GuessPrivateKey.jar 8 bit.txt up 1

you need to pass in DEC

3 years ago So the program is able to found keys; did it find all of them (should have some text files in the same folder)? About the error: I'm not sure, it seems that the problem is from bitcoinj; anyway, did the program keep running, or not?
marssystems
commented
3 years ago The program found 12 of the 16 keys. 13 if you count the one that failed on thread-0. The program did continue. If I run the program on just 1 core it fails straight away and stops.

3 years ago The program works okay for me; and I can't solve your problem, because the error

Anyway, if you have an GPU, you can try better programs, like https://github.com/brichard19/BitCrack, or https://github.com/JeanLucPons/Kangaroo -- my program is for CPU only

3 years ago Are you using a different version of bitcoinj? Did you compile the program yourself? I'm using the github version with no modifications that's why I don't understand why it doesn't work for me.
scorta

3 years ago I just checked (with the current release), it seems that the program can't check from 1. So change the command to:
$ java -jar GuessPrivateKey.jar 1 bit up 2
(or any number that > 1) would run well.
marssystems
commented
3 years ago Yes - runs with no errors when I used up 2. This still doesn't explain my original error - unless the program randomly picked 1 (3 times).
scorta
commented
3 years ago Please try that again to see if it happens. I tried on my computer and it works as expected.
marssystems
commented
3 years ago As I said - running with "up 2 " works fine. I am running in random mode and so far, I've not seen the original error. The program hasn't found anything yet and it hasn't selected "1" randomly to produce the error.
scorta
commented
3 years ago Okay, so have fun playing with it. But you may know that it's almost impossible to find a key. Even with "small" number like 2^64 would take many years. But some people were lucky even with number bigger than 2^114, so who knows.
Anyway, if you're serious, take a look at https://github.com/brichard19/BitCrack, or https://github.com/JeanLucPons/Kangaroo
marssystems

3 years ago Yes - I'm already using Kangaroo and Bitcrack. This program is just a little extra which can run on any computer without needing a GPU.
any chance of finding a privkey, no matter how small, is still a chance. Its like the lottery - "you have to be in it to win it".
Thanks for your help and good look with your search.
I got this error when running GuseePrivateKey -
