Title: Choosing BTC address Post by: gginer on February 07, 2014, 01:45:09 PM Hello,
I have seen some people with choosen BTC address, at least the first letters. For example, satoshi dice has all their addresses starting with 1dice....... How would you do that? Thank you!

Title: Re: Choosing BTC address Post by: DannyHamilton on February 09, 2014, 04:45:04 PM It is a "best practice" to use a new address for EVERY transaction. This reduces privacy issues and slightly increases security. As such, vanity addresses are generally a bad idea, since they encourage you to reuse the same address repeatedly.

You can use Vanitygen. It is open-source, and you can run it offline. For safety, you can even format your HDD afterwards. :D https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0 Title: Re: Choosing BTC address Post by: Sonny on February 09, 2014, 04:57:32 PM It is a "best practice" to use a new address for EVERY transaction.

Agree that it is not good to reuse addresses. But, someone may want to have a "fancy" address for tips and donations. :D Title: Re: Choosing BTC address Post by: DannyHamilton on February 09, 2014, 05:03:46 PM Agree that it is not good to reuse addresses.
