1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF Received 79,956 BTC
And not 1 Sat has moved since !
Is this person incredibly patient, rich already, dead or simply lost his Private key ?
Value at time of transaction $ 75,896.71 is nothing to sneeze at, but at today's value were looking at a Final Balance of
$ 155,176,059.07
Leading me to believe, it's lost Forever
or is it ?
I don't have near the computing power to try a brute force hack of the Private Key, but I do try from time to time LOL, Just can't help myself :-)
I'm sure there are many others doing the same, some day it will be done, and Bitcoin will crash.
By then a off the scale cryptography would have long replaced it.
I don't have the Mathematical capacity to even attempt to even explain the number of Bitcoin addresses possible, but they are finite.
here is a apparent list of all possible combinations with a clickable check of any account you come across

many have said that it does not cover all possible BTC address's and Keys, I have no way of knowing.
I did once find a address that had coins, but they where long gone.
I have a list of over 64 Thousand accounts I consider lost as well, but only 25 BTC of more.
a great portion of those from the original miners that got 50 BTC per equation solved and either lost or forgot about them.
I don't try to brute force these address's but generate Millions of addresses and run a duplicate check against them.
Yes I have lots of time on my hands LOL
I'm feeling like crap today, but will make more Bitcoin posts in the near future, Follow me if this kind of thing interest you
There are many things on the blockchain to explore, and they work on all coins.
Here is the very first 50 BTC block, must be the creators I'm guessing hehe

There are also hidden messages in the blockchain that I will explain in detail some time soon.
Have fun exploring
Life is Good
I would love to have that private key!
I used to try a brute force from time to time Kinda like buying a lottery Ticket that only cost a pinch of electricity LOL
Steem on my friend :-)
