(off topic)

i've been looking for the best/secure way to make a customed wallet address lately and that vanity website seems to be the simplest way to do so. however, i'm quite worry about the fact that my private key could be leaked at some point if using such web based service. anyone could enlighten me regarding this matter?

thx

edit: i understood that i generate a part of the private key (moving the mouse on the screen) and they would then give me the other part of it but how can i be sure the part that i previously generated through their website hasnt been saved/stolen too?

Rather than use a website, just run vanitygen on your computer

arf, i just deleted the post to create a new topic in some more relevant part of the forum.
Thx for the answer tho.
I'd figure running the vanitygen on my computer would be better, but as im running on a mac, it seemed quite complicated to do so 
(im not very familiar with github - any guide you could recommend me to get this done?)

Ah, now that is something I'm no expert on. Any time I've compiled something from source I've simply followed the instructions provided. I'm on a Mac too. I ran it on my work PC and typed the keys into a text file manually so nothing went through the clipboard. Then closed the window. I assume this was safe enough but then I don't use the vanity address for anything important so I wasn't overly concerned.

How Leah McGrath Goodman discovered the real identity of Superman using forensic techniques:

  Step 1.  Make a list of all citizens of Metropolis whose name begins with "S" and ends with "man".

(Two days later, young reporter Lois Lane received a surprise call from the Daily Planet, offering her the job she had just been told that had been already filled.)

Next Monday, 2bit is going to release info on foundation members. $180 by Friday, Adam?

$480 by Monday night.

Based on numbers that I completely pulled out of my ass using absolutely no graphs, charts, or history. And that's probably as good of a guess as anyone trying to predict the Bitcoin market with all those fancy tools.

All numbers were collected by hand from the site http://bitcoinwisdom.com. Beware of possible errors.

For each exchange, the numbers include only the trade volume to/from the currencies listed in the rightmost column. Trade between BTC and other cryptocoins, such as LiteCoin, is NOT included.

Dates on the header line are UTC. Specifically, "01/15" means "from 01/15 00:00:00 UTC to 01/15 23:59:59 UTC". (Beware that Bitcoinwisdom uses your local time, so the date may appear to be off by 1 day.  For example, if you are 2 hours west of Greenwich, it may show "01/14 22:00" when the UTC time is "01/15 00:00".)

[JorgeStolfi]

The total trade volume today (Sat Mar/08 00:00--23:59 UTC) on the exchanges that I monitor was ~302 kBTC.  That is 14% more than yesterday's and 40% more  than last Saturday's.

Volume outside China fell 44% compared to yesterday's (from 54 to 31 kBTC), and was almost the same as last Saturday's (33 kBTC).   Bitfinex fell 14% (to 11 kBTC), Bitstamp fell even more (to 9.7) and lost its first place, while BTC-e  (8.7) remained third.

On the other hand, volume in the Chinese exchanges increased 28% (from 211 to 271 kBTC).  For the fourth day in a row, OKCoin had more volume than Huobi (54% vs. 44%). 

As a result, China's slice of the total trade volume increased again, from 80% to 90%.

There was 4,500 new BTT registrations yesterday. We just beat the March 7 high of 2,200. To put that into perspective BTT usually gets 500-700 registrations per day.

The jump in users suggest an interest in Bitcoin. New market players will enter. Fundamentals override technicals again. Value BTC with history of userbase rather than price history because it is the number of users who drive the price up in the first place. It is a very good indicator because new users take time to learn about Bitcoin before investing thus not pumping up the price immediately. It also gives us a measurement of interest in Bitcoin.

Yeah, worst case scenario of news could cause a dramatic decrease in prices, but 70%, seems doubtful.  Maybe we may get another flash crash into the upper $400s, but even that seems questionable, if we do NOT even know the DAMNING news.

implying that anyone cares about the 2bittrash, his 5 minutes of internet fame were over a week or 2 ago.

Maybe you are correct, and maybe, just maybe, 2bit is ONLY an attention whore....   I kind of doubt that.  There may be some there, there?  It seems that we cannot know for sure (or condemn 2bit), until we see the presentation of the DAMNING evidence.

Certainly, I like specifics... and thanks for that.  You are suggesting an immediate negative reaction to the 2 bit news, but we will be over it by Friday.  I tend to think that we can make 800 by friday, only if there is NOT any kind of negative reaction to the news.  If we get a negative reaction, like you predict (down to 480), then we could NOT make anymore than upper $600s by Friday... I'm kind of pulling this out of my ass, too...

It would be funny if everyone reacted opposite to what we expect from the news, like the other day when that news release was supposed to be "good" news but the price dropped during and after it instead because it wasn't nearly as significant as it was hyped to be.

BTT = Bitcointalk?

Yes, please clarify what BTT is.  

Regarding bitcointalk.org, if you click on the "MEMBERS" link, you'll see there are currently 271,709 members (a lot of sock-puppet/troll accounts, but still).  Is there a way to get the stats on membership vs time?  Is anyone tracking this?  It would be interesting to plot this curve....
