Title: Vanity Wallets
Post by: VanityWallets on April 02, 2014, 01:51:05 AM
You can use our site to create you own custom vanity wallet.
We are registered with bitpay for the pay per prefix vanity wallets.
We do not save private keys, to ensure your wallet is secure please encrypt or add a password to it, also delete the email after loading your private key. As this will ensure no one else will recieve your private key.

Check out the site at its temporary hosting provider.

btcvanitygen.wix.com/vanity-wallet-gen (http://btcvanitygen.wix.com/vanity-wallet-gen)

If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at btcvanitywallets@gmail.com

**IMORTANT: please ensure you secure your wallet as anyone could hack it via the vanity pool. **

30 day money back guarantee. If you do not like the vanity wallet or wish for a different name simply send us the private key after the wallet has been emptied by you and we will generate a new one, or refund the money.

The new domain will be attached in 24 hours will update the OP once completed.

Be careful guys. The only legit place to get a Vanity address (that I know of) is vanitypool.appspot.com (https://vanitypool.appspot.com/) (Vanity Pool - vanity address generator pool (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84569.0)). They use the split-key feature of the vanity generator, which will keep your private key invisible and unreachable for them. This is not the case with these guys as far as I know.

This won't keep you safe if someone has your private key.

Well..  I have never felt a desire to get a vanity address for myself. I wouldn't take even a slightest chance of compromising my BTC security over a few custom digits in my BTC address. After all, it's just an address and any customisation is worthless except you can look at it 2 times a day and chuckle. Why bother?

If they can have access to the private key, it is almost danger. So, it is better to avoid vanity in the address, than loosing bitcoins.

They send you your private key via email.
How do you know if they keep a copy of your private key or not?

YOU DON'T!!!!

This service is rubbish and most likely a scam!

+1 to that. Receiving private key via mail is so insecure.

They dont send your Private Key by mail. They send link to temporary page on their site where it is.

OP, you need to implement split keys in order to do this securely.  It is possible for you to generate only your part-private key, if you know the customer's part public key.  This way, the customer can be confident that you could not access his funds.

And just out of reference guys, split key generation is pointless if you let them generate the split keys in the first place as with what happened with another service that got hacked and it's users had their funds stolen. If they know both keys your private key can still be stolen.
