Can someone wrote how to start kangaroo in range? i try to make it via doc, but not understand... and not understand how it looking for address, where i must to write it?

For Windows:

Example of input text document that contains ranges and public key you are searching for, let's call it/save it as input.txt:

Code:

1000000
1FFFFFF
03057fbea3a2623382628dde556b2a0698e32428d3cd225f3bd034dca82dd7455a

In case of your example you can't find the pubkey of the address 16jY7qLJnxb7CHZyqBP8qca9d51gAjyXQN. That's because it is a Pay 2 Public Key Hash address. What you tried to I guess is a base58 decode of the address. The tool at http://gobittest.appspot.com/Address might be of help to you fur understanding purposes. Just fill in the address in the last field and you will get the values all the way to the RIPEMD-160 of the hash of the private key. But since RIPEMD and SHA are hashing algorithms that will only work in one way there is no way you can calculate the public key.

In case of a P2PKH address the public key becomes known when the address is used for an outgoing transaction. In that case for the unlocking script the public key has to be supplied and it will be checked if it hashes to the correct value. But in your case the address doesn't have any outgoing transactions so the public key is not known to anyone but the person who also has the private key.
