There's actually a website that has the private keys of all the bitcoin addresses. Funny because even if you do have it all saved on a .txt file, if will take you a lot of power and time (even years) before you can find the private key of a specific wallet. There have been discussion about this in this forum. There are just too many bitcoin addresses available and I really mean way many for you to be able to control bitcoins or hack someone using the list of all private keys.

I'm curious why people still believe in this nonsense

The site you refer to can't contain the private keys of all potentially possible bitcoin addresses by any chance since just to store them in some format would require all the Universe converted to storage devices and that would likely still not suffice. The guy who started that thread (I won't post a link so as not to promote it) is a shill who is deliberately spreading outright FUD. If the point is that the site can calculate all bitcoin addresses, I can just as well claim that the algorithm for calculating a Bitcoin key already contains all possible keys itself

The sleep of reason produces monsters

I've found the website that's on my mind. It's http://directory.io/. I thought you might be interested. Grin

I'm not sure what's on your mind, though. It does say that it generates the keys depending on the page (read: FAQ). If anyone wants some more explanation as to why your private keys can't be found using things like this, read this reddit post

I know about that site, and I referred to it specifically in my post

Don't you find it rather strange that the site basically claims that there are 904625697166532776746648320380374280100293470930272690489102837043110636675 pages on it? If you have a half functioning brain, you would understand that the site can't possibly contain so many pages (let alone have "the private keys of all the bitcoin addresses" as you stated). In fact, the web server running this site can't even address this quantity of pages directly, and it is not even a number itself but a string value which consists of figures representing the number of allegedly reachable pages. So it is no more than a joke at best. What's the purpose of generating these keys if you could just as easily use vanitygen (or similar tool) to generate as many private keys (theoretically all private keys)?
