So yesterday I figured I'd like to create a bitcoin address with all capital letters (and numbers). I saw it done before (somewhere, I don't know where), so I figured I could.
I used bitcore to set up a little script and realized... Hmm, I'm gonna need some more power.
I converted every computer in the house into a vanity farm. Everyone hooked up to my router is making addresses.
Okay, cool, we're making a shit ton of addresses and I'm walking through the house checking all the computers for a few minutes.
Eventually,
this happened to one of the computers and I started to rethink the operation.
Then I started thinking about what I'm doing in the first place. I'm a 17 year old guy in high school, and I'm probably the only one in the world who wants to have an all-caps bitcoin address to see if I could make one. What the fuck am I doing? Holy shit this is probably the most useless thing I have ever done! Really this tops my list of useless projects:
- 1 - Attempts to create a bitcoin address with no lowercase letters
- 2 - Successfully creating a useless coin that is mined with MD5
- 3 - Taking over a minecraft economy by creating ingame fiat (this went well)
- 4 - Margin trading diamonds and livestock on large minecraft servers
- 5 - Creating a functional wallet that does not include addresses
So, fuck. Why am I doing this. I don't even reuse addresses. I could be making some cool-ass wallet UI right now and I'm making a fucking all-caps bitcoin address.
I never even got one. The closest (surviving
) contender I got was:

Thanks for reading my rant-project-whatever-the-fuck shitpost. If any of you have made an all-caps address please humble me with your divine skills and tell me what you did.
