Title: Personallized bitcoin address? Post by: MTJ151 on November 01, 2014, 02:31:27 AM I noticed from the details section of this youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7YmJZ-qVW8 That there is an address that you can use to donate to Dorian Nakamoto (apparently). The address is 1Dorian4RoXcnBv9hnQ4Y2C1an6NJ4UrjX. I was wondering how he got an address with his name in it?! Also, I've got to add from the couple of videos I have seen about him... that dude seems to one humble and honest person! Title: Re: Personallized bitcoin address? Post by: NLNico on November 01, 2014, 02:36:24 AM It's called "vanity bitcoin address", Google it and you shall find.
Title: Re: Personallized bitcoin address? Post by: franky1 on November 01, 2014, 02:37:09 AM its called vanitygen.
make sure you download the proper vanitygen program and not use services where you offer bounties to people for them to do it. Title: Re: Personallized bitcoin address? Post by: MTJ151 on November 01, 2014, 02:42:22 AM Thanks!!
Title: Re: Personallized bitcoin address? Post by: nextblast on November 01, 2014, 06:26:04 AM Use oclvanitygen instead of vanitygen if you have a good GPU. You can generate a longer personalized part.

Title: Re: Personallized bitcoin address? Post by: segvec on November 01, 2014, 06:21:46 PM Make sure you know what you are doing or things can turn sour real quick.
Title: Re: Personallized bitcoin address? Post by: Nextgen on November 01, 2014, 06:30:36 PM it can be done using vanity wallet gen
but you make sure you don't share private key with anyone else and it should be a key splitted wallet generation for safety Title: Re: Personallized bitcoin address? Post by: Buffer Overflow on November 01, 2014, 07:36:35 PM Just be aware that it is good practise to only use an address the once, as they are designed to be single-use tokens.

This was something that satoshi said to do when QT was the only wallet service available. However since then many other wallet services have been created, many of which offer much greater coin control abilitiesTitle: Re: Personallized bitcoin address?

This is irrelevant to the type of wallet used. Title: Re: Personallized bitcoin address?

I've always wanted to create one of my own but have avoided till now. Like they say if you know what you are doing then go ahead, else better not
