Would be nice to know how many addresses has been checked at end of session.

The API you are using is showing 0.
but there are 50 bitcoins in the bitcoin account.

https://bitcoinlegacy.blockexplorer.com/api/addr/1J6PYEzr4CUoGbnXrELyHszoTSz3wCsCaj

I think it would be better to use such a system in your script.

I think the most reliable site is blockchain.info.

I have plenty of RAM, but still getting error after loading library

I seem to have an issue with installing requirements. According to Git Bash, the commands install -r (the -r part) does not exist, so how would I move past this and/or how would I be able to run Plutus?

File "plutus.py"  line 102
print('\rreading database: ' + str(c + 1) + '/' + str(count), end = ' ')
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

How can I fix it ?

Possible to show output about actual processing speed?
(eg. cores/threads in use, and overall generated addresses/seconds)

The following lines of code queue.qsize() throw a NotImplementedError due to the fact that sem_getvalue() is not implemented on this platform.

Not an issue, but idea: it would be great to have more control over brute forcing process, what I mean is some sort of user-defined regular expression or dictionary capability over the combinations of random Bitcoin private keys.

i have a problem why running Plutus always CPU usage 100% and my pc stuck . but late version its only CPU usage 20% . anyone help me for this issue .

Instead of querying remote blockchain, would it be possible to query a local blockchain? Node operators (like me) have the whole blockchain on disk so (compared to an api call) the access time would drastically decrease ( < 1ms with SSD)

Have you ever found anything?
Or is it a waste of time

Every time this program checks the balance of a generated address, it will print the result to the user. If an empty wallet is found, then the wallet address will be printed to the terminal. An example is:

This is not clear, the database dumps contain only positive balances thus address with 0 balance are not "found" instead addresses are randomly generated and checked against the database . One can think that database contain all addresses.

with:

with multiprocessing.Pool(multiprocessing.cpu_count()) as pool:

Is Plutus.txt stored in the Plutus folder? Also, if there are hits, is the data all written/appended to the single Plutus.txt file ? Thanks!

I have been trying to use Plutus on my Windows 10 laptop, and I've solved all issues I supposedly have but a new "ModuleNotFoundError" I've come across.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "plutus.py", line 10, in <module> from ellipticcurve.privateKey import PrivateKey ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ellipticcurve'
Is there something I'm missing?
I'm using a Windows OS, as stated earlier, and I read the solution to the Ubuntu Linux OS. What would the equivalent commands of sudo and apt-get be in my case so I can get past this?

Awesome update, any thoughts on if you will ever make it where it will take private key, check the uncompressed addy AND the compressed one? If not, it's okay, I did it for an older version of yours but went with from bitcoin import * and the whole thing was alot slower.

Is it possible to use pyopencl with this?

Hello.

Why you don`t use cuda to perform the Attacks.
With cuda you can make a lot of more per second.

Whenever I run Plutus, and yes, my RAM is suitable enough to run it, I keep getting stuck on this message:

What am I doing wrong?

I apologize if this has already been posted but I couldn't find it. I am trying to run and it goes through "reading database" from 1 (or maybe zero) up to 22/23 and never moves past it. I've tried renaming some of the .pickle files, copy and pasting a lower one and renaming, but no matter what it still get stuck on the next-to-last database. Is there a solution for this?

Hello,
First, bravo for this code.
I was wondering about how to use CUDA to use a 1080Ti instead of the CPU for more speed.
I tried a lot to figure how to use this code with PyCUDA, numba, Theano and the CUDA toolkit but I clearly don't manage to transfer the data into the GPU instead of the CPU. My lack of knowledge I guess.
I don't know if you are able to do this kind of code to use with CUDA but if you can it would be awesome.

The "database" is pretty big and needs a lot of memory to be stores in a set.
I think a better option would be to use a serializable bloom filter. It would be easier to share on github and with (almost) the same trade-off of using a set.

All wallets with 0 balance are saved to the file plutus.txt.
why?

I seem to be having a different memoryerror on line 60. I am also encountering an issue with an EOFError, which I have not seen before. Here's the code.

P,S. I run it with python3 plutus.py

I have the same error previously reported by another user:

I have tried with python3 on two different Ubuntu machines. Logged in as root as well with no luck. Not sure what to do, appreciate any insight.

Here is the latest machine I tried on:

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release:	18.04
Codename:	bionic

Take a look at the attached video that showcases the problem. Expecting all cores being utilized. Reality: only one or two cores out of 8 have any significant load.

I found a very good api for multitasking balance checking, could you integrate it?
example:
