Title: Help us review Daniel's Lecture
Post by: charleshoskinson on June 18, 2013, 10:32:06 PM
BEP is releasing a bonus lecture on Vanity addresses made by Daniel Ruskin and we'd like the community to provide some feedback on what we can do better:

6:41pm] rumpler: danieldaniel: I think your explanation of split-key addresses was a little off. You say that you only send them your public key and they don't have the private, but you don't mention that this is a totally unrelated pub/privkey from Bitcoin addresses.

Quoted from IRC.

EDIT: Although, I don't think he's right.  See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Split-key_vanity_address.  It says that the priv keys are merged.

6:47pm] rumpler: Oh, I see what it is. Thanks, danieldaniel

Slow down the delivery a bit. You're under three minutes. You have a pretty big window of time (>5 minutes). Could you also show us how to generate an address with the mentioned software.

Ok.  I tend to talk very fast.  I can talk a bit slower for the PPT, and then add generating the address at the end.  You think that would work?
