Editorial interest 81/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive browser demo generates random Bitcoin private keys, checks their addresses, and puts the odds of finding a funded one on a live counter.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-18 issue.

For: Bitcoin learners curious about private-key security
Worth noticing: Each browser reports one aggregate count every 15 seconds; the page says it sends no key, address, or identifier.

Field notes

The page separates a visitor's session count from a total reported by all visitors. It says each browser sends one number every 15 seconds, without a key, address, or identifier. The odds panel compares 1,270,100 address checks with 2^160 possible addresses, while a separate spot check asks blockstream.info about an address.
