How To Calculate Binomial Distribution Of Really Small %? I asked this question on the Bitcoin Forum, but I think it's more appropriate for a mathematics forum.
I'm making an informative video and I need a binomial distribution calculation. I want to find out how many trials are needed to get 1%, 50% and 90% likelihood 1 or more successes. The problem is that the likelihood of success is 1 out of 2^160 (number of distinct bitcoin/ethereum addresses). 
Normally for something like this, I would use a binomial distribution calculation in Excel using this formula:
=1-BINOM.DIST(0,????,2^-160,TRUE)
I would then tinker with the ???? until the entire cell result returned 1%, 50% and 90%. However, Excel can't handle numbers anywhere near this large. Does anyone know of a way I can calculate the number of trials required for these 3 percentages given the infinitesimally small chance of success? It would be great if there was an online tool I could use to support my results.
Just to illustrate what I'm looking for. If this analysis was for something much simpler, such as a probability of success being 1%, then I could calculate the results to be:


*

*229 trials needed for 90%, | 89.99%=1-BINOM.DIST(0,229,0.01,TRUE)

*69 trials needed for 50%,  | 50.01%=1-BINOM.DIST(0,69,0.01,TRUE)

*1 trial needed for 1%,  | 1.00%=1-BINOM.DIST(0,1,0.01,TRUE)

I observe that $229/0.01^{-1} \approx 3.36\times 10^{48}/\left(2^{-160}\right)^{-1}$, so I believe @gammatester's numbers.  What I don't believe is that we have to search $229\%$ of the address space to be only $90\%$ confident to find the one address for which we search.
(More precisely, $\log_2 3.365231884 \times 10^{48} = 161.203\dots$, which is $2.302\dots$-times the size of your address space.)
The process you describe with this binomial distribution is randonly picking an address, testing it, then placing it back into the population of addresses that may be picked in the future.  A substantially more efficient method is to sequentially check addresses -- meaning that we are $100\%$ certain to have found the address after checking $100\%$ of the address space.  In fact, we are $1\%$ certain after checking $1\%$ of the space, $50\%$ after $50\%$, and so on.
