can you?

Can you sign a message with the private key to that address?

Can you?

Just now checked the address and all incoming address and their transaction are not able to decode but still they got confirmation not able to understand whether it is wallet address problem or something else.

LOL, i wonder how did you get such an awesome address? Vanity address? Is it easy to be hacked or the addy generator recorded your addy?

Neither person has such an address in the sense that they have the private keys used to spend any funds sent to the address.

It's trivial to create any address (except for the last few characters and the first). It's trivial to send funds to such an address (poorly programmed wallets sometimes do so). It's not trivial to create a private key with an arbitrary address (hence vanitygen, which can "choose" a few characters in an address along with a private key, but not these addresses).

Sure can!

(21 1's just an FYI. That's 4 more than yours.)


Haha but please don't send me any more bitcoins because I seem to have lost my private key ;)

I think its impossible with current technology... but u never know for sure :P
I like vanity adresses very much, very usefull.

why do people keep on sending coins to 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE and 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 which i am sure cannot be recovered no matter what  ???

 sure he will provide  the private key to the address :P ,i don't even know how you created this address so kudos for that

Just wanted to see how long it would take to generate 18 1's with vanity gen and it was like 1000 years

13.11982404 BTC, lost forever...


plus another 55.55748666 BTC, lost forever...

Yea, you know what would suck? If a major charity organization launch a campaign for say, Cancer and they type the donation address incorrectly in a advertisement or on their webpage and then millions of dollars goes into the wrong address, before they notice it.

We see human errors every day with data capturing or typing, so it is not impossible that this might happen in the future. 

You are slightly off...

Usually you create an address like this:

private key -> public key -> hash -> address.

Here someone just did:

public key -> hash -> address. Whoever created the address like this can never spend the funds send there, because they dont have the private key.

Yeah I wasn't sure how long 5.290055e+025y was so I just said 1000 LOL

That's not even slightly off. It's off by the same order of magnitude as saying "I wasn't sure how old the universe was so I just said 10 microseconds LOL." Humans don't understand large numbers.

EDIT: Typo.

I love this place , some one is really bitcoiner

but to correct it

publick key->hash->address  is costly, not easy than  private key->publick key->hash->address

I made it

rip160hash->address ;)

But nevertheless this requires a big enough GPU power and a lot of time.

Yeah, its probably easier that way as you dont have to force the hashes.

Addresses have a checksum mechanism built-in, so this is not really a possibility. Try sending to 1111111111111111111114oLvT3 (instead of …2) and see for yourself. Only one in 4 billion typos results in a technically-correct-yet-wrong address.

I have seen addresses with names , short names though, I wanted to know how can we generate BTC addy with our names maybe?

simply use vanitygen ( it will generate the requested address' name by using GPU or CPU of yours ) -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0
the step is quite simple even some people here are offering a services to generate a customized address for you

Vanitygen, you can get address with your name like 1ImHash, 1ImHaSh, and so on with your PC but it's difficult to generate the vanity addresses, you can use bitcoin vanity generator website like vante.me to generate, but it's very risk i don't recommended.

Thats pretty cool.. You can have 20+ of a single letter in an address too, right? Like 20 A's

Would it be possible to have an address that's only 1's? like 1111111111111111111111111111? Now that would be crazy.

Anyway vanity addresses are not a good idea imo. You want your addresses to look as boring as possible, you don't want easily recognizable addresses because that can only lower your privacy in any case.

Apparently it is pretty easy to create a vanity bitcoin address, but creating one and also having its private key is a different matter.  ;)

what a waste of bitcoins, although it just makes my bitcoin worth more lol :)

Sucks not being able to spend 55BTC

Idk, 1000 years isn't a bad estimate when you take into account progress of technology. amirite??  :D

No.

No.

If you are interested in long vanity addresses created from a private key see:

What a strange address! I've never saw something similar before. But is it workinig, can you send and receive the coins without a problem?
I would alse like tow know could Bitcoin addresses be created on special orders and wishes like car plates for instance or is this impossible?
