Recently I got kinda addicted to puzzle sites like everyprivatekey.org that in theory have every private key in existence, even like, Binance's hot wallet. Addresses with hundreds or thousands of BTC, they're all on there. It's just that the odds of stumbling on a funded wallet are so tiny it makes my brain hurt. I feel like humans aren't set up to understand numbers this large.
Intuitively it just feels like it SHOULD be possible to find a funded address if you click for long enough. I got through a few million addresses using the auto mode. But even if you clicked for a million years you'd never find one. You need something like 10^57 years to hit one random collision and the universe is 1.4 × 10^10 years old. So about 10^47 times the current age of the universe.
2^127 (about half the keyspace) is already a bigger number than if you counted every atom on earth and multiplied it by a billion. I just can't wrap my head around it. But here I am, still trying. Anyone else like to play with these kind of puzzles? We could start a pool and all fail together, haha.
EDIT: as u/asml84 rightly pointed out 2^127 isn't half the keyspace at all, it's 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000147%. See, these numbers just bamboozle me
