Title: Is there a way for me to generate vanity addresses without the trust problem ?
Post by: Redrose on July 27, 2017, 12:55:21 PM
Hello everyone. I would like to offer an address generation service, but I think there will be the problem of how the trust will be managed. Because one could genuinely be afraid of me being able to keep the private keys. This is not my intention, so I would to know if there is a way to bypass this. Thank you by advance.

Edit : by the way I am not sure if this is the right place. I am sorry for any inconveniance caused in this case.

I'm not familiar with the process as well but It's possible as shorena already offered a service[1], I believe you should be providing a partial private key so Its secure and safe.

There is a solution on github https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen

It works good for 5 chars (1xxxxx......) but if you want a longer vanity address it takes to much time

Yeah, that is what I was already using, but I was missing the split-key part.
