there is achance for me to guess a key,no matter how small that chance is it do exist
Sure, the chance of you guessing a previously used private key is non-zero, but it is so unimaginably close to zero, that it is effectively zero for all intents and purposes.

There's also a non-zero chance of you correctly guessing the one atom on Earth I am currently thinking of, and this is still billions upon billions of times more likely than you guessing a private key. There's also a bigger chance of you correctly guessing Bill Gates', Warren Buffet's, Jeff Bezos' and Bernard Arnault's credit card numbers (again, by a factor of billions) than guessing a single private key.
Dude - you REALLY don't understand lotteries at all.  Of course the chance is low - but there is a chance!!!  Are you fucking dense? - or what?


o_e_l_e_o - I want you to admit, right now, based upon you knowledge of math - that there is in fact a chance that clicking on a page of that key server site could produce millions of dollars.  If you don't admit that, you are a liar.
