You can create your own vanity address with a tool created by Samr7 here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0 Also, for future reference, this isn't an off-topic post, you could have posted in beginners and help or meta and would have gotten a quick (maybe more detailed) response Title: Re: How to get fancy addresses?

Title: Re: How to get fancy addresses? Post by: CIYAM on June 28, 2014, 10:31:07 AM Understand that if you use vanitgen to create your *fancy* address you will need to "import the private key".
As an example: Code: > vanitygen 1b The Privkey value (for the address that you generate) would need to be imported into your wallet in order for you to *own* that address. Also note that if the "fancy" prefix you want is large then it can take *a very long time* for vanitygen to find a match (so unless you have a very powerful computer I wouldn't advise trying to exact match much more that 5-6 characters). My 1ciyam vanity address took 4 days to generate (on a fairly old laptop). Title: Re: How to get fancy addresses? Post by: Muhammed Zakir on June 28, 2014, 11:35:10 AM Thanks for the replies.

Post by: moreia on June 28, 2014, 12:05:25 PM Generating such an address takes a lot of time though (depending on how many characters you want). Standard stock GPU / CPU can do 500-1000 keys/s, this is enough to generate a 5char vanity within 30 minutes...6 characters could take 5 - 20 hours, 7 expect days Title: Re: How to get fancy addresses? Post by: Este Nuno on June 28, 2014, 09:28:02 PM What is the longest vanity address ever created in bitcoin thus far?
is it 8 characters? If 7 can take days... Title: Re: How to get fancy addresses? Post by: Taras on June 29, 2014, 12:42:17 AM What is the longest vanity address ever created in bitcoin thus far? Probably in the realm of ten to twelve, case-insensitive and not specifically at the beginning of the address.is it 8 characters? If 7 can take days... Title: Re: How to get fancy addresses?

So like 1ahdjeMshdjsOajdjdaRajdjsEdhsIA The characters being M, O, R, E, I and A Is that what you're talking about? Title: Re: How to get fancy addresses?

If you want 1MOREIA.... or 1Moreia... it will take a lot more crunching. Each letter is exponentially more work. Asking to be case sensitive is like asking for another letter.

It is easy to use but requires some hashing power. It would easier to put up a bounty and list acceptable optionals and bounty reward. Let other people do the work and pay them in crypto!

I mean, they even linked to guides and such. No reason for you to post repetitive information.

You can also scroll to the very bottom of the page and click "lock topic" (it should be a link right next to move this topic).
