A Bitcoin wallet collider that brute forces random wallet addresses written in Rust.
This is a straight port of Plutus with significant perfomance gains over python counterpart.
Tested in rustc 1.61.0 (fe5b13d68 2022-05-18)
For dependencies see Cargo.toml

bash start.sh & disownA private key is a secret number that allows Bitcoins to be spent. If a wallet has Bitcoins in it, then the private key will allow a person to control the wallet and spend whatever balance the wallet has. So this program attempts to find Bitcoin private keys that correlate to wallets with positive balances. However, because it is impossible to know which private keys control wallets with money and which private keys control empty wallets, we have to randomly look at every possible private key that exists and hope to find one that has a balance.
This program is essentially a brute forcing algorithm. It continuously generates random Bitcoin private keys, converts the private keys into their respective wallet addresses, then checks the balance of the addresses. If a wallet with a balance is found, then the private key, public key and wallet address are saved to the text file plutus.txt on the user's hard drive. The ultimate goal is to randomly find a wallet with a balance out of the 2160 possible wallets in existence.
Private keys are generated randomly with a help of bitcoin rust library.
The private keys are converted into their respective public keys. Then the public keys are converted into their Bitcoin wallet addresses.
A pre-calculated database of every P2PKH Bitcoin address with a positive balance is included in this project. The generated address is searched within the database, and if it is found that the address has a balance, then the private key, public key and wallet address are saved to the text file plutus.txt on the user's hard drive.
This program also utilizes multithreading through tokio::task in order to make concurrent calculations.
Using database of 33,165,253 addresses, searching performance is about 34750 private keys per second per thread (core) running on Hetzner CPX31 cloud VPS.
An offline database is used to find the balance of generated Bitcoin addresses. Visit /database for information.

If a wallet with a balance is found, then all necessary information about the wallet will be saved to the text file plutus.txt. An example is:

This program uses approximately 3347 MB of RAM with current database of 33,165,253 Bitcoin addresses. Memory consumption solely depends on size of database, and indifferent to amount of threads (cores) it runs on.
