It would be extremely difficult to generate an 11 character case specific address with vanitygen, though not impossible.


edit: I tried with a bitcoin address, but not sure if it is working correctly for 2 GPUs

oclvanitygen.exe -d 0:0 -d 0:1 1BurnAddress
Difficulty: 9883693997182075238
[28.63 Mkey/s][total 486539264][Prob 0.0%][50% in 7588.9y]

Yeah, though that are GPU only. It might be way easier with Asics. I believe there were services for that too, though i did not find one yet. At least one could check how costly it would be. The ico is worth now only 0.15 bitcoins, which means the cost for creating such a vanity address must be lower than that since otherwise it would make more sense to mine properly with the hardware.

So in case this is not a correct burn address after Earlz rules then the burn address should only be safe when the cost creating it would be low. Of course i assume that the transaction and address exists. I can't check yet.

Read your thread here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1205322.0

But I will answer here. My answer is similar to seedtrue's.

I have no idea how long it would take for a particular alt coin, but if it takes roughly the same time as bitcoin...

Code:

>oclvanitygen.exe -v 1MBurnAddress
Prefix difficulty: 573254251836560363813 1MBurnAddress
Difficulty: 573254251836560363813
Device: GeForce GTX 970
-snip-
Modular inverse: 13312 threads, 1024 ops each
Using OpenCL prefix matcher
[36.39 Mkey/s][total 340787200][Prob 0.0%][50% in 346208.9y]

it will take a few millenia on a GPU. Its significant faster if the M is part of the prefix.

Keep in mind that an ASIC might be faster, but there is none. An ASIC not just a fast computer its a chip that can only do one thing, but that very good/fast/efficient. Mining ASICs can mine bitcoin (or scrypt), but not generate vanity address. Its certainly possible to build one, but I doubt there is a market.

So can someone tell me how easy it would be to create a vanity address with the long word BurnAddress in it? I'm not sure but i think it would be pretty hard to create such a bitcoin address and i'm not sure if it would be easier for this coin.

Since no block explorer exists yet and i do not have the wallet installed, can someone, maybe stoner19, check the public key of the burn address with getrawtransaction in the wallet console?

A proper burn address that is provably unspendable should have a lot of zeros in its public key i think. See http://earlz.net/view/2014/10/22/0340/provably-spendable-altcoin-burn-addresses.

I hope this solves correctly. For now i will wait and not release the coins to the issuer until this is cleared.

I ran it:

Code:

16:09:04getrawtransaction 04152c4c05858f4f52cff3a7acea7ea63b653f54a5f1b5465ca6021bfe30

16:09:04No information available about transaction (code -5)

Honestly I don't understand what you guys are debating here..

Fact 1: "Dev" stated in the OP he only mined 40 blocks "for test" and there is no premine

Fact 2: "Dev" lied about the premine, Block 1 had 44 Mills (of 66) premine for the dev.


It doesn't matter if he burned the premine or not - he lied about the coin and IMHO that's a reason to refund the buyers as per the ICO rules.

All the other warnings that this "Dev" is behind A LOT of other scam ICO/IPO/Hidden Premine coins were ignored already and you STILL seem to cover his actions - I have absolutely no understanding or excuses for this - as long as he will make money with this scams he will keep continuing with it..

Also, I tried to send coins to the so-called burn address. The address is 1 character longer than an actual P666 address, and won't even fit in the address field in the QT client.

I hope the right thing is done here and BTC is refunded by escrow.

+1 on all of this.

Was this a ICO?

It wasn't supposed to be an ICO as far as I knew. I mined 5,000 coins before I realized there was an issue. But apparently it was an ICO for some people. In any case, with a launch like this, the coin is as good as dead already.

To SebastianJu Please refund BTC for user I do not want BTC

[ocminer]

BTW not one coin was ever burned, it was all fake:

http://144.76.238.2:3001/

Check the Richlist...

I realize this is somewhat off topic - but is that an open source block explorer? If so, is there a git repository for it?

EDIT: Nevermind - I saw the github link at the bottom of the main page right after I posted this.

[tekyboy]

Dev my pool was down and luckily none of the miners were connected with it (before it went down). i have seen posts by others in thread and i regret to inform you that i removed P666 from my pool; so please remove link as well from main post.

should you want i can send you bounty back for the pool op.

cheers

Too much of a name for a ridiculous shitcoin 

[SebastianJu]

Ok guys... that luckily turned out well for investors at the end since i was one step away from releasing the coins to the issuer. If i would not have asked again if someone sees problems i would have released the coins since the three day safety waiting time was over.

Thanks for coinmyne to the inital warning and check. It's a great thing that some users on here put the time into to check things out to help preventing scams. I will make sure to make the question, if someone has some issues to tell, a regularly thing from now.

Thanks alot for everyone else who helped in this thread and on the thread where i asked about the difficulty of generating that address: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1205322.new#new

Well, investors coins are safe and i will start to refund everyone. I will ask every investor to provide proof about him sending the actual investment with a signed message. For information about how to do that check out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345

Let's hope that ICO's in the future will be less scammy, it looks like the altcoin community is on guard already. So we might see less scams in the future. Would be mean less work for escrows too if word is spread that ICO's for scamcoins are not an easy task anymore.

This piece of shit trying to sell his own coins by pm lol

Hi Special offer for you sell P666 for price 0.00000020  BTC  interested?
