Title: Sites that can generate vanity addresses for free? Post by: bensam123 on March 14, 2015, 11:00:28 PM I'm trying to generate a vanity address, inspired by another post here.
Does anyone know what is the best site to use to generate those addresses? Or could anyone help me :) Thanks Title: Re: Sites that can generate vanity addresses for free? Post by: bri912678 on March 14, 2015, 11:05:28 PM I have never used the bitcoinvanitygen service and cannot vouch for it, but the website says it's free. If you try it I'm interested in hearing how good it is.

Only 5 letters vanity and 6 for no case sensitive. Title: Re: Sites that can generate vanity addresses for free?

Post by: bri912678 on March 14, 2015, 11:09:15 PM I looked into it a bit further and found this on reddit about funds being stolen from vanity addresses generated online. The warning looks like its for a different site, but it sounds a bit risky.

Yeah. Ok, just got a vanity address from that site, sent to my email and was pretty fast. Although if you deposit bitcoins in there no one can guarantee the generator site won't steal your coins from you, so that's a concern. I'm using mac with OSX, is it possible to use vanitygen?

How can I put hardware into it? :D Title: Re: Sites that can generate vanity addresses for free?

I don't know about OSX since I recently just switched to it and was wondering about this as well. Vanitygen worked pretty well for me on windows 7.

Hmm... I don't really get what you were saying. This application should be trusted enough, if I'm not mistaken you can run it offline as well as online, so no one will steal your info(Not the normal hacker, anyways).

That did look a bit confusing sorry, what i meant was basically like you answered is the application trusted enough and if i did use it will they have anyway to gain access to the wallet created and take funds i deposit? I can't believe it has taken me this long to look into it more and i will from now in danger of sounding a total newbie lol I will look into it more so i can do it properly offline etc. Cheers Title: Re: Sites that can generate vanity addresses for free? Post by: bensam123 on March 14, 2015, 11:41:11 PM I'm pretty sure that you can use it offline although if someone phishes your computer they probably can gain access to your private key.
The application itself should be good enough although you have to look out for viruses on your computer. Title: Re: Sites that can generate vanity addresses for free?

Worth it Title: Re: Sites that can generate vanity addresses for free? Post by: kepo07 on March 15, 2015, 01:14:49 PM I've just created my adress, it was so easy.

(https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Split-key_vanity_address) It really doesn't matter if the site is 'free' or not. Unless the address is calculated locally (and uses local processing power) then it must use the split key technique, otherwise funds in your vanity address are all but certain to get stolen |
