FYI, there are 50k high-value bitcoin addresses, your not likely to find one even using my techniques daily, but just running through 1 to 10**77, even if everyone on earth had a computer, your not likely to ever find a 'hit' for your address; I get hits everyday, albeit most are 0.0001 bitcoin accounts, but at least their hits,

To be absolutely clear: are you suggesting that you are able to find the private keys of funded Bitcoin addresses, where the keys are 100% random, and are not:

- Generated with a weak PRNG
- Insecure brain wallets (eg SHA256 of dictionary word or common phrase)
- A deliberate pattern like 0x4200000000.... or 0xdeadbeef00000000....
- Already listed somewhere (some private keys appear in the Bitcoin source for testing)

Huh
