Well it’s a lottery with a really low chance of winning and the addition, that a potential winner will still be a thief if he takes what he “won”.
So chances are really low, but yes, if you win, it could “make you rich”

Okay but what if I get a whole bunch of computers to do it? Maybe “mine” for the right ones? 🤔

Interesting that there is no mention of it being theft in the article. I’m sure the low odds play into the ability to ignore that fact.
Wasn’t there a website that showed you all addresses and their crypto value? You just had to klick through all the pages for an eternity.

I think that’s probably really dodgy, the code probably runs in the browser, outsourcing the seed generation to the user’s machine, and then if a large enough amount is found nothing stopping the JavaScript from reporting no win but feeding the winning seed to the developer.

It says it right there : Only 5.4 Duodecillion Different Combinations!
You think 1 billion or 1 trillion is a large number.
I bet you have a better chance of winning the jackpot in a lottery 5 times in a row.
This website contains every possible Bitcoin and Ethereum seed, somewhere on this website are Satoshis keys.
Good luck!

Or do this legally without stealing with the Bitcoin Puzzle. The next unsolved puzzle has a key space of 70. A 3080 graphics card runs about 3.5B key guesses a second. Reward is $631,000.
Statistically you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning 3 times, and Everytime you wake up at the hospital, a different hot nurse is giving you head in the hospital, until the third time, the 3rd time it’s me giving you head.
So those are the odds of guessing a seed phrase, but good luck.

The odds of actually guessing a seed phrase are so astronomically huge, that the human mind can’t fathom it.
1 in 12+ octillion. There are over 12 octillion possible combinations.
You have better odds of randomly selecting one specific grain of sand from a beach, then doing it again with every beach on Earth, then doing it again with Earth-sized planets made entirely of sand… about 50 times over.
Or like if I asked you to pick a specific random star in the observable universe, then being you being right, then you guessing right 12 million more times in a row.
A monkey randomly typing Shakespeare is more likely than this.
Getting 38 people in a room where ALL of them share the same birthday (including year)… times a trillion. 38 Trillion people with the same birthday.
If every atom in the observable universe (≈10^80 atoms) bought a lottery ticket, and only ONE ticket won, and you’d still have better odds than 1 in 12 octillion.

Hell yes it can as far as the operator of that machine goes.

Obviously no?

It’s not likely but imagine how pissed the US government would be if you got some of their “locked up” wallets
