You're willing to run your computer for a fortnight straight, at a 50% chance of mining a vanity address. In essence, two fornights to get a good chance of getting that address.

For all you know, you could mine a 1PaganGuyisDuMB address, which you might not like, lol

looking for a signature campaign, dm me for that

When you're mining these addresses are you running a lottery that produces random addresses? How many "incorrect" addresses are you going through before you'd hit on the one you want?

What site offers this?

Why not just "1pagan" (case insensitive), this is much easier to find.
I never really understood the point of vanity addresses, they seem like a pointless waste of computing power that could be spent securing the network, although this waste can be reduced if merge mining is used.
And since nobody seems to particularly want my testnet coins, I will leave them to the first comer:
92xnDca1kxJkRJZyCx6cGdz9epUz8oVv2BQtLZ4Kh2YaXAFHni9
Please send them back to n2eMqTT929pb1RDNuqEnxdaLau1rxy3efi after you're done.

If you don't have sole and complete control over the private keys, you don't have any bitcoin!  Signature campaigns are OK, zero tolorance for spam!

You cant secure the BTC network meaningfully with a GPU anyways, best mining altcoins with a GPU. As my power is cheap and i am using barely any power to hunt for the address im not too fussed!

Good point about the 1PaganGuy "is dumb" address but still XD

Its funny if somebody can get that address. If I do get that kind of address I will make or generate new address which is normal and not freaky.But is hunting a new address really nice, why not spend your time and electricity to hunt for vanity address. For me its much wiser to use my time and electricity and time to mine bitcoins. But is that is his passion the I will respect it, he should make sure that he will not get 1PaganGuy is dumb address.
