Clone the repository:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/CoreZen/ether-hunter.git\ncd ether-hunter\n```\n\n2. Install required packages:\n\n```bash\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n3. Create a `.env` file in the project directory:\n\n```bash\nETH_NODE_URL=your_ethereum_node_url_here\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nRun the script:\n\n```bash\npython ether_hunter.py\n```\n\nThe program will display:\n- Runtime statistics\n- Total attempts and speed\n- API calls per second\n- Latest generated key and address\n- Any found wallets with balances\n\nTo stop the program, press `Ctrl+C`. The program will display final statistics before exiting.\n\n## Configuration\n\nModify the following variables in `ether_hunter.py` to suit your needs:\n- `NUM_THREADS`: Number of concurrent threads (default: 30)\n- `BATCH_SIZE`: Number of addresses to check in each batch (default: 5)\n- `MAX_RETRIES`: Maximum number of API retry attempts (default: 3)\n\n## Output\n\nFound wallets are logged to `found_accounts.txt` with the following details:\n- Timestamp\n- Currency\n- Address\n- Private Key\n- Balance\n\n## Security Considerations\n\n- Never share your `.env` file.\n- Keep `found_accounts.txt` secure and encrypted.\n- Use this tool responsibly and ethically.\n\n## Probability and Feasibility\n\nThe probability of randomly finding an Ethereum wallet with a balance is **astronomically low**. Consider the following:\n\n- The total number of possible private keys is **2^256** (~1.15 x 10^77).\n- This is **almost the same as the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe** (~10^80).\n- Statistically, you are:\n  - **2.5 million times** more likely to become a saint (1 in 20 million).\n  - **10 million times** more likely to become an astronaut (1 in 12 million).\n  - **250 million times** more likely to be struck by lightning in your lifetime (1 in 15,300).\n  - **7 billion times** more likely to win an Olympic gold medal (1 in 662,000).\n  - **42 billion times** more likely to win the Powerball lottery (1 in 292 million).\n  \nEven at **1 million attempts per second**, scanning just **1%** of all possible keys would take longer than the current age of the universe (13.8 billion years).\n\nThis tool is intended for **educational purposes** to illustrate:\n- Cryptographic security principles.\n- The enormity of large numbers in cryptography.\n- The resilience of properly generated private keys.\n- Multi-threaded programming techniques.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.\n\n## Disclaimer\n\nThis tool is for **educational and research purposes only**.
