This project presents a unique Bitcoin private key simulator that is based on features and configurations of the computing environment of 2009, the year of Bitcoin's launch. The main objective is to explore and generate possible Bitcoin private keys that could have been created in the early days of the cryptocurrency.
You just have to execute and that's all:
python f4lc0n2009generator.py
But if you want to carry out a test with a known private key, you can put the one you want to validate the correct operation of the code, for example:
python f4lc0n2009generator.py -pv 8ec7083bb445b1414d540fa0c07d0ef3db98bd95c64b51e4cc3e2eec8dcb86c5
this is only to generate the corresponding addresses of that private key and check the match, you must have the addresses of that private key saved in your comparison txt file to generate the match
If you don't have an address base with balance, you can download it from the following link:

This cryptographic marvel, built on solid mathematical principles and wrapped in layers of sophisticated cryptography, soon attracted a wave of enthusiasts and visionaries. Back then, the generation of Bitcoin keys, essential for the creation of new wallet addresses, was a unique operation, highly influenced by the computing environment of the time.
This project, the Bitcoin Key Generation Simulator based on 2009 configurations, is not just a tool, but a time machine. It allows us to go back to those primordial days and relive the excitement and uncertainty of Bitcoin key generation in a 2009 setting.
An Adventure in Bitcoin Key Generation The journey begins by immersing yourself in the digital atmosphere of 2009. The simulation begins by selecting a random date and time within the year, mimicking the birth period of Bitcoin. Below, the essence of the machines of the time are reconstructed, with simulated total RAM reflecting the typical hardware limitations of the era.
But it's not just about hardware. Software, specifically Bitcoin Core, also plays a crucial role. This simulator recreates the load and memory usage that Bitcoin Core might have imposed on a typical 2009 system. Additionally, process IDs and memory usage are simulated, adding an extra level of realism and complexity.
Finally, the journey is completed with simulated IP addresses, selected from the common ranges at that time. This final touch contributes to the total entropy that is then used for the creation of private keys, thus finalizing our journey through time and technology.
More than a Simple Trip But this project is not just about recreating the past. Through each simulation, a unique private key is generated that is converted to a variety of Bitcoin addresses. This includes uncompressed, compressed, P2SH-Segwit, and Bech32 (P2WPKH) Bitcoin addresses. Each of these addresses reflects a way the private key could be used on the Bitcoin network, providing a comprehensive look at Bitcoin's flexibility and versatility.
An Educational Odyssey This project is more than a key generation tool; is an educational journey through time and technology. Not only does it offer a fascinating insight into the history of Bitcoin and private key cryptography, but it also gives users the chance to experience first-hand the technical fundamentals of Bitcoin.
Whether you're a crypto enthusiast, a Bitcoin veteran, or a newcomer looking to better understand the inner workings of the world's most famous cryptocurrency, this Bitcoin Key Generation Simulator based on 2009 setups offers an incredibly unique and Immersive to explore and learn.
We invite everyone to embark on this exciting journey through history and technology and experience for themselves what Bitcoin key generation might have looked like at the dawn of this cryptographic revolution.
