My coolest address is 1Chris4GEoLLjdh4juFXGwY7snaazuxvKb
It's my vanity paper wallet that I made on an Ubuntu Live USB. It took me a long time to figure out how to mak that securely!
It seem cool to have one. Actually I was thinking of getting myself a vanity address I just don't know where to get one.
I'd like to see my name on my address and it also can be handy to show proof that the address is really mine since I have my name on it.
I could easily do this for you.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Generate a hex format public key (on bitaddress.org.. Click address details).
2. Send it to me. (via pm)
3. I use the pub key and create a vanity address with your name (let me know if you want it case sensitive or not).
This is called split key vanity gen. It's a method where someone else does the work but still doesn't kno your private key. Don't take my word for it. Look it up!

You can follow the post here :

Whatever you do, don't let someone "make you" a bitcoin address. If they generate it for you then that means they know the private key. The address will be worthless to you if anyone but you knows the private key.
Never trust those website that will make you an address. They'll have your private key. Always do split key vanity gen.
