I see "brkryant", anyone can generate random garbage like that.

It's probably worth somewhere between $0 and a red tag.

anyone? i don't think anyone can. not with all capital letters in his last name. it's probably worth more than $0.

an address bitcoin could generated by custom things. like vanity.

Mine is "3HujingW8TEMsb43YyXUZUq1f6zYRjfBD5"

No one will buying an address bitcoin trough 3rd party, even if there is was rare unique.

I haven't played around with Vanitygen for a very long time but IIRC, capital letters had/have a lower difficulty than lowercase letters and I have a feeling you just went with the case-insensitive prefix search and got lucky with the result.

[wheelz1200]

Besides the fact that yes you can generate an address like that, but in the case that someone can't why would they want the private keys to this address.  It can never be used, what's the point?

I could find 1KoBEBRYAN... easily enough, the last T might be a bit tricky and take some time.  Maybe a few months.  Still, the address being offered is dog water.  Nobody would pay for that and it takes some creative thinking to ever come to the conclusion that it's at all related to Kobe Bryant.  Then you add in the fact that it's being offered by someone with the lack of a long trust history and you have all the makings for a worthless address. 

OP - If you like this address, I suggest you use it for yourself.  It's literally worthless to anyone else.

How much time you needed to create this non-special bitcoin address?
I would never guess this is related with Kobe Bryant in any way, and sorry but I wouldn't pay a single sat for that.
Some time ago I generated few vanity addresses in memory of member Lauda, it only took few minutes, and it was totally free.

It's probably worth somewhere between $0 and a red tag.

I wouldn't red tag him for this, just let him sell his creation

If you like this address, I suggest you use it for yourself.  It's literally worthless to anyone else.

Ask Kobe Bryant family first, maybe they are willing to offer you millions of dollar worth of Bitcoin for it  :/

well not exactly, but nice guess.

then do it. and post it right here and i'll let you sell it if people like yours better. but i think mine is better. you can post it right here in this thread and that goes for anyone else with big enough britches that thinks they can beat mine.

I don't know! But we are here.

No disrespect but no one is going to buy a personal vanity address that is based on some private individuals name or something. but a public celebrity that's a different story maybe. just my opinion.

i'm not seriously thinking anyone here in this forum would buy it but i might like to sell it to someone someday somehow. along with some others I seem to be finding lately. there is a us marine corp one...anyone interest in that one?

yeah like i can just pick up a phone and ask them about it lol. but if they wanted it, that would be cool.

No need to proved, don't wasting your power @OgNasty.
Buying an address, like you given people access to your home anytime.  Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins.

Half a BTC? I can generate that for 20 USD. My point is, you're wasting time.

[MoparMiningLLC]

Both of these pre-fixes are easy to generate.

I set two instances to run - one for each prefix - 1BRYANT and 1GoUSMC

they ran for 4 hours and I got 5 of the 1BRYANT and 2 of the 1GoUSMC addresses

If you find people willing to pay .5 btc that's insane.

I charge $5 to generate vanity addresses up to 7 characters - after that it is a bit more expensive as it takes quite a bit longer. But no where near .5 btc

good for u then.

And i'm willing to generate that for free. Here's the private key/address.

pretty worthless though since they don't contain Kobe's first name well the last one has a k at the very end but I don't think it's as good as mine. keep trying tho. you just need a few more characters right there in front.

yeah it is. but that's how it is.

then this thread can maybe help you get some new customer because i'm not selling mine that cheap.

but your usmc vanity addresses aren't as good as mine. mine has the letters PT in it for "physical training" and the word "mud" in it. marines get dirty you know.

[MoparMiningLLC]

Yours doesnt have his first name either. Yes you have a K but also have it jammed in the middle of the last name - makes it look more random than an actual attempt - doing 1KBryant would have been better - I actually thought it was random on yours


Selling for more than a few bucks is a rip off - you put zero effort, type a few chars and watch tv or sleep or whatever while it works

You took a freak accident and expect to get rich from that bullshit.

No one should trust keys made by anyone unless they are well known and the person can be trusted - even then it is a risk.

Your usmc has 12GoUSMC not PT

But even if it did - it still isnt hard to generate.

No key generation is worth more than a few bucks let alone .5 btc

Gtfo with that bullshit - prolly sweep their funds as well if they ever use it.

Hell my guess is you are using an online one not even your own airgapped system…

[larry_vw_1955]

your guess would be wrong. but nice try.

what do you think about this one, since i got your attention:

If you drink 7up you might be FkD. Coke is better.

i'll let this one go for 0.35 btc but it's only for 24 hours then it goes up to 0.5. just the way economics works...

[LoyceV]

I thought you were a more or less serious user. Now you're just trolling, and possibly trying to scam a naive user. Not cool.

The kobe bryant address was serious. But I can see that no one would want to buy it. No problem. i'm not trying to make money off a naive user. but if someone wants one of these addresses, they can do so.

just thought i would post some of my "creations" here and let others pipe in what they thought. how is that scamming? i'm letting people have their say about what they think each address is really worth. i set my prices however I choose, is that ok?

[LoyceV]

how is that scamming?

You're trying to sell private keys. If you want to sell secure vanity addresses, use split key:

Instructions
I can just create an address, and send you the private key. This means you have to trust me, my computer, my cat, both our email clients, and by definition it can no longer be used for cold storage. So let's not. Instead, use split key:
Step 1: Goto https://www.bitaddress.org/ move your mouse/type in the field until it shows 100% and wait a second.
Step 1.5: Optional but highly recommended. Download the page, verify the download and run it locally^*.
Step 2: Click Vanity Wallet click the Generate button next to Generate your "Step1 Key Pair"
Step 3: Reply to this thread with your public key and the prefix for your address. Save the private key somewhere safe. You will need it later when I generated your partial private key. Also, let me know if your preferred prefix is case sensitive, or any case is okay (the latter is much faster)
Step 4: Once you received your partial private key, go back to bitaddress.org and click on Vanity Wallet.
Step 5: Go to step 2 Calculate your vanity wallet. In the first field put the private key you saved and in the second field put the partial private key I gave you. Click Add and Calculate Vanity Wallet
Step 6: Copy the Vanity Private Key (WIF) and import it into your preferred wallet.

It's not the (ridiculous) price that makes this look scammy.

[larry_vw_1955]

You're trying to sell private keys.

well i mean you're really taking me a bit out of context there but ok. yeah it is selling a private key but i wouldn't think anyone would buy a vanity bitcoin address from someone that also knows the private key and actually attempt to ever use it. its only for entertainment purposes only. somehow i feel that this argument with you is a losing battle though.

i wasn't aware of that but it doesn't fit my operating mode anyway though. for generating these "vanity" addresses. i don't cater to what someone wants. i take what i get. kind of like someone mining for gold out of the ground. they don't get to pick and choose what size nugget they want. they take what they can get.

You may be looking for Rare address hall of fame.

i'll lock down this thread and do that instead since apparently people don't buy vanity addresses like this. and they get scolded pretty hard for trying.

It's not the (ridiculous) price that makes this look scammy.

i woulda probably taken $50 for the kobe address but it's not something that comes along everyday. you wanna hold on to something like that and use it yourself if not. thanks for your guidance. i'll leave the thread open for a few days if you wanna get the last word in.
