Here's an anomaly: Two Ethereum wallets with 10.25 ETH each worth over $30K each complete with private keys that are not accessible.

What makes you think those are the private keys and not the public keys?

Are those your wallets?

There are lots of dead wallets in all cryptos.

Edit: Those are not valid keys. ETH wallets typically have 64 characters.

They are listed as valid PKs.

I swept one on the first page for. $1.40 worth of ETH. Not going to move it though because that’s bad karma.

Crypto

I tried to import that second key and the wallet said it was an invalid key. That website looks as if it is trying to list every possible key possibility. Each one listed appears to be the next letter/number in the given string, consecutively.

If you got a $1.40 from one, it was simply blind luck. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. With 64 characters, the possible combinations would be billions or even trillions of possibilities.

Can someone please explain to me what is so good about eth and why are the sending prices so high?

Here as a comparison it costs about AU$13 to send any BTC.

cheers

Volatility.

Money is made both ways. To move in either extreme creates opportunity to earn in the opposite direction. It's the perfect opportunity to fleece everyone.

Because everyone, ONLY thinks price can only go up. They're the perfect victims. Your money - becomes someone else's, because you can't see this.

It's very simple.

Private key needs to be valid for the secp256k1 curve so:

Must be more than zero
must be less than ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff fffffffe baaedce6 af48a03b bfd25e8c d0364141

You can generate valid addresses for PK reaching over that range and send coins there but the privatekeys will be not valid so the coins will remain unspent forever... That's all...

By the way ...dont waste your time - everything that can be stolen in crypto is already stolen

Hint: Watch out for "easy money" in ETH or BSC and similar addresses on the beginning or the end of PK range.

Somtimes there are tokens there but no coins for transfer fees.

These are just baits waiting for naive people.

Those addresses are monitored 24/7 and when you send eth/bsc whatever to transfer the tokens you will robbed immediately cause your coins will be automaticlly trasfered out and there are very small chance you will be faster in making tx than computer... so ...watch out...
