fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364140 .. there are also invalid public keys. The reason is there are pub keys that lie outside the curve. But i gotta agree that the mentioned pubs above are interesting, especially knowing that one of their addresses is a used one.

There is no such a thing as invalid private or public key, whatever private key you think is invalid or outside the range, I will prove you wrong if you just show it to me.

Deal! Prove me wrong, type this pvt key into the "view details" page in bitaddress.org and if you get an address out of it I'll send you 5 BTC:

You can keep your bitcoins, of course above the range no value could be considered a valid key, but here is your address 13wLt3CDiHDiiNKtmj5pH6LGJM9JZGcEXZ

Guys please refrain from consecutive posts, it's not cool.
Just get back at skipping pages one by one, you could search at least 20 million pages by the end of the year! 😉

Lol you don't get it yet do ya? I can use a kiddy python script to create an address like the one above using an invalid pvt key.. but you know what that means? It means that i have an address that i will never be able to use.. why? Because I DO NOT KNOW THE PVT KEY THAT WILL ACTUALLY SPEND FROM IT. the out-of-range pvt key i posted happens to hash ots way to that address, bit it's not able to spend from it. Get it? The word "invalid" is not an accessory. It literally means you're screwed if you use it
