- Every human has 10 000 addresses with balance on it. This makes with 10billionen people 100 trillion targets or 10^14

This is why you want to focus your search on an address you select as your target.

If Bitcoins were evenly distributed over 100 trillion addresses, there would be 0.00,000,021 (21 Satoshi) in every address. Running the generator randomly would certainly be a waste of time.
