Private keys are generated randomly to create a 32 byte hexidecimal string using the cryptographically secure `os.urandom()` function.
The private keys are converted into their respective public keys using the `starkbank-ecdsa` Python module. Then the public keys are converted into their Bitcoin wallet addresses using the `binascii` and `hashlib` standard libraries.
The private keys are converted into their respective public keys using the `fastecdsa` Python module. Then the public keys are converted into their Bitcoin wallet addresses using the `binascii` and `hashlib` standard libraries.
A pre-calculated database of every Bitcoin address with a positive balance is included in this project. The generated address is searched within the database, and if it is found that the address has a balance, then the private key, public key and wallet address are saved to the text file `plutus.txt` on the user's hard drive.

- [X] Improve multiprocessing
- [X] Query balances using a database instead of an API
- [X] Query balances using a bloom filter
- [X] Improve ECDSA signing speed
