Generates seeds and their addresses and looks it up in an utxo dump csv

Bitcoin Lottery

Generates seeds and their corresponding, first address and looks it up in a csv file, if an utxo exists. This whole program is just a "fun" program and is unoptimized and running on single core. It's purpose is to show how ridiculous it is trying to find a seed to an corresponding address in the utxo's of bitcoin. Just like a real lottery.

Requirements

• Bitcoin full node
• Bitcoin utxo dump and therefore Go
• Cargo and therefore Rust to build this project
• At least 8 GB RAM available because the whole UTXO CSV is being loaded into the memory

Run

Follow the instructions for the bitcoin full node and run it once and let it sync (Takes some hours depending on your connection speed etc.)

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/arne-fuchs/BitcoinLottery

cd into the project

cd BitcoinLottery

Execute bitcoin utxo dump (will take a while)

~/go/bin/bitcoin-utxo-dump

run the project

cargo run

???

Profit
