You can now generate addresses with a custom prefix, commonly referred to as "vanity addresses". Think of license plates that spell out a world, prefixes are a similar concept - such as 1BobLKNvSz7333peq3ymJzLmaV6jg7gPnt.
Bitcoin addresses have certain limitations - such as lowercase L (l), uppercase i (I) and uppercase o (O) cannot be used. In addition, you can generate vanity addresses up to 4 characters long with Inputs (eg 1Love). Please note that it may take up to one minute to generate a vanity address.
Why not allow people to pay for longer addresses than 4 characters long? Would earn more money, and help people to easily get and implement vanity addresses. It is unlikely the use will justify the implementation cost. For now, support@inputs.io will happily help you with reasonable vanity addresses for free. |

Seems related to the hack.
Why? To me the timing of the Hack seemed more like it already was prepared for some time and only executed now. What would a lot of new accounts be good for in such a hack? It seems like the hackers used abandoned forum accounts to participate in the Ripple giveaway. The giveaway has been suspended for the time being.

99% chance this was a Gov op . There is no such thing as coincidences,,Fairy farts or Unicorns ...... Have you guys been living under a rock for the past year? Have you seen or read what our government has been doing lately? This Forum held a treasure trove of information about Bitcoin users and what they are up to. This is just the beginning of the Governments New War on BitCoin and Crypto. The "Hole Seekers" are just another NSA asset.
Must have been a long setup through. and whats your opinion of this TF? you think it was gov't or what? The government doesn't need to do this if they want contents on the forum. |

What about certificate pinning to domains? MITMs with the co-operation of a rogue or forced CA will have very limited effectiveness.

It isn't possible
There is nothing miners can do to send the bitcoins from that address to anywhere else without first getting EVERY single person using a bitcoin wallet to agree to run a modified wallet that allows the spending of bitcoins without a proper signature. Nobody with bitcoins and half a brain is going to be dumb enough to run such software since it would put their own bitcoins at risk.
Miners don't have some special magical power that allows them to force nodes to accept invalid blocks into the blockchain no matter how many of them collude.
All of you who are talking about whether or not it *should* be done, need to realize that it can't be done.
It IS possible. If 51% of the miners decided to reject blocks that spends coins from that address, then coins from that address won't confirm |

So labcoin has been looking to replace him for over a month?! No tapeout for the 130nm chip?! WTF!
Not even a tapeout of the 180nm chip; they dont have anything, and thats even less than I was willing to believe. On the bright side, no tapeouts and no chips means they had virtually zero expenses. If you are gullible enough to believe serial liars and scammers routinely return their loot to their victims, labcoin should still have almost all of the IPO coins. 'Sam' said they only had about half of the IPO funds left. And ofcourse he would never lie about such things. Here is the "unspent" money: http://blockchain.info/address/15p8MtnUt7qxLus7v6V5d61fDGRAX3tVTYSOURCE? I doubt there is one. Nothing about the address shows up on Google. |

I don't want this to be a discussion about my plugin I was speaking to him privately about it but I was unable to get a response to a question my programmer asked.

Are wallet (not online services) to wallet transfers safe?
Ex: If I started using Bitcoin-Qt and then wanted to transfer my balance to my Multibit wallet.
I'm only asking because I thought I read a post about a bug in that scenario.
Thanks.
Always assume it is unsafe. Backups are your friend. |

I'm confused, you say it was clearly off topic and report-worthy, but that threadcrap is "allowed" in the marketplace (impying threadcrap is not report-worthy). What is the difference between "threadcrap" and "off topic" in your mind? I already gave my definition of threadcrap, and my definition of off-topic would be someone talking about elephant mating rituals in a topic about hash rates of BFL ASICs.
Depends on what your definition of threadcrap is. I have met sellers who consider any post that are negative towards their thread to be threadcrap. Defined in my quote in the OP. *anything negative without first transacting with me* I was subtly asking how you define threadcrap, and how you define off-topic. I don't think that's appropriate. I can give you a lot of examples: * Material misrepresentations: You're selling a laptop and you say it has a 2.4 GHz processor, when in reality it only has a 1.8 GHz Report OP to mods* Logistics issues: You offer something recommended as a Christmas gift when there's no chance of something arriving by Christmas Eve Only a problem the, what, 2 days a year max that overnight shipping shuts down before Christmas? Grasping at straws for an exception to the rule there.* Same product: You resell an ebook and someone who had bought the ebook before says it's crap. There aren't review sites for ebooks? Amazon?* Scam alerts: Your pictures turn up in a google image search and is posted by another user. Report OP to mods* Lies by omission: You sell Randomaltcoins with no mention that the network is under a 51% attack for 3 months and the transaction probably won't confirm. Report OP to modsEtc etc. Instituting a threadcrap fine with your definition is a horrible idea. SMH... You do realize that mods don't even delete scams, and it's probably not their job to investigate claims of marketplace scamming? They don't need to investigate anything. PM the OP, if they're unrepentant, link your evidence to the mods, and those clear-cut violations you just described would result in the scam being shut down on any decent forum. But if you have a problem with the mods, then you should have just said "bitcointalk is nothing but chaos with a fake veneer of moderation, so just give up at suggesting improvements" and saved yourself the time of typing all the rest up. Warning: Moderators do not remove likely scams. You must use your own brain: caveat emptor. Watch out for Ponzi schemes. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose. |

My opinion is that having open discussion of a product being sold or a service being offered is fine as long as it's not just an advertisement for your own competing offering. |

I think the forum already has a policy of not allowing your own advertisements, and I think that's ok. |

It seems like the feature would have a very limited audience and would introduce significant complexity to the backend system. It's practical to allow users to generate vanity addresses up to three characters (case sensitive) or maybe 4 characters case insensitive, with the processing done on server. Would there be any interest in these vanity addresses?
