The problem with this is that you have access to the keys as well as whoever buys them, which is unnecessary with split-key vanitygen mining.

Not to hijack your thread, but I can do this if you don't want to. Smiley

Not to mention most of these addresses are so easy that anyone can generate them with Vanitygen at home, with a CPU, without a split-key pool. They're not even the firstbits for their respective prefixes so one would have to be a fool to buy them.

It's not the first time someone tries to sell something worthless for BTC.

Exactly - my GPU is an Nvidia model that's so old the latest release of the driver no longer includes it, and I can get ~4-5 character prefixes like that out of my CPU alone if I'm not using my computer much. Generating all of these put together would probably take less than a day, maybe even under an hour. And that's without any extra hardware - GPU vanity mining rigs using 5870s can find much longer prefixes, case-sensitive, in minutes or hours for very little cost.

Please stop this nonsense - if anyone sends you a private key then obviously they have a copy of it and will be able to steal any BTC sent to the address that it is for.

With CIYAM anyone can create 100% generated C++ web applications in literally minutes.

just use the vanity generator. it'll take like 20 seconds to create a 3 char address.
