how this go from someone trying to buy a vanity address, to now we talking about what clever people use 3* addresses

I think this is what happens at the end of a thread. All that can be said on topic has been said (which really wasn't much) and increasingly off-topic posts, like this one, don't have any place to go but inline at the end...no sub-posting a la slashdot.


Hardforks aren't that hard. It’s getting others to use them that's hard.

Just in case you don't realize, you'll have to trust this person forever to not spend coins sent to that address.

Very true. But I think we are getting to the point where agreements like this are going to have to happen. Not sure how. We are all writing the book as we go along.

I think he's a collector of the strange and obscure. Even if useless.

Not only does he have to trust him but also trust he doesn't expose or publicize the info such that anyone else could do the same.

Yeah, people are and will continue to trust each other for large amounts, but you're talking about trusting a completely random miner forever for some unknown amount of money and paying for the privilege.

If you always move funds out only one transaction at a time will be at risk, so that's something.

"Vanity addresses are a bad idea"?
They break the psuedo-anonymity of the bitcoin address scheme.


this is only bad if you want to remain anonymous, if you don't want to be anonymous, by all means the more identification you can roll around in and cover your self with like dirt, the better.

"way too lazy to deal with experimental software"

You shouldn't be using Bitcoin at all, then.
