- Now calling garbage collector to potentially stop from memory leaking
- Releasing references to objects to allow the gc reclaim the memory
- Loading riches.txt contents to a map() object to increase the scripts overall performance

- Linux support: linux users will go to the "linux" directory to run the program.
- Install Node.js
- npm i
- Lots of time on your hands.. there's a lot and I mean A LOT of possible addresses and keys, you will be extremely lucky to find any that will match your list.
Just start run.bat (or run.sh if you're on linux).
Results from a somewhat decent computer:
- 1.56 million checks every 1 minute
- 7.2 billion checks in 1 day
- 54 billion checks in a week
- 216 billion checks in a month
- 2.8 trillion checks in a year
But please keep in mind that this is still really not much compared to all possible combinations that should be checked.
Go to the test folder and hit run. It will show you what would happen if a wallet from your list was found.
There are a lot of wallets with high balances that are lost forever, which means nobody can access them and the money is basically there just to be picked up by anyone. This program can possibly find these lost wallets and their matching private keys and take the btc out of them.
