Python - Using A String Modifier With A Variable

[deonbell]

Just curious, How would I have gotten this code to work with a variable instead of having "69" hard coded into the code

    
    secret=('%064x' % 0x69)
    print secret

This gives me
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000069


I ended up doing it this way instead. Reading the variable from a file. It works this way.
Also give me
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000069

But curious about the above.

   
    inputfile = open('inputfile.txt', 'r')
    startdata = inputfile.read()
    inputfile.close() 
    print "starting point"
    
    inputlove=startdata.strip()   
   
    fart = inputlove.zfill(64)

    print fart

Thank you my gfy friends.

I copied someone else's code and I plan on modifying it for my brute force
Next step is finding out how to verify whether the public address has been used. This will be the hard part.

Here is the output I get so far.

I was wrong. Very easy, Thank to a bitcoin API created by Vitalik Buterin, the brains behind Ethereum. Pybitcointools has the function history(addr). Simple as that.

Now here is my output.

Here is the output when I change the exponent for a bitcoin address that does not exist.

You need to format the output. The worker is fine.
