# lousy_bitcoins

Utility to try to crack bitcoins private keys generated from weak passphrases.

# Disclamer

I hold no liability for what you do with this application.

I built this for learning purposes and to try to get people to be more careful with their private keys. 

# How it Works

It generates private keys from a password list file, 

then checks if the respective bitcoin address has any history on the blockchain. 

If so, then checks if it has any balance.

# Examples
