Rare address hall of fame

[gadman2]

Hey, how long to generate the address 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE? More than a millenium?

Yes. More time than earth will support life.

Can someone explain how this addresses can try find and get using? I have old mining hardwares with good processor and want to try What softwares I need to use?

the answer is vanitygen.

you can find binaries or can compile yourself here (my suggestion is compiling yourself since that's a address generator thing, you shouldn't trust binaries)

a friendly reminder though, more personalized chars means more CPU time. examples like 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 is just impossible for the current hashing techniques.

I am starting a list of the most bizarre / improbable addresses found in the blockchain.  
 

Any particular address you listed as as probable as any other one. The bizarreness is in our heads.

And yet, the bizarreness which is in our heads is real for us.  I think this is quite a fun thread and I'm glad to have come across it.  Collisions between random bitcoin addresses and the namespaces/concepts we humans use indeed notable no matter if the math says "meh, whatever".

Yes. More time than earth will support life.

 That's not entirely true as address generation is random and it is probability based.  In all likelihood it will take forever but there is an ever-so-miniscule chance it could be generated on the first try.  Don't bet the moon on it though.

is this cool?

You didn't even put that in the block chain.

If you want to beat that, go a-i and get it in the block chain.

Thanks for answers before, got it working and find some nice address

How I can add that to blockchain so I can use it from my wallet like blockhain.info ?

It's simple import the private keys on Blockchain.info and then send the funds to that address and start using it. Just keep  your private keys somewhere safe in USB device or CD etc... Your private keys are safe until your PC gets infected with virus.

Are they using super-computer / something to make these crazy vanity addresses
Even 10 character vanity address already something crazy

I wonder if anyone really use these vanity addresses ?

 I use lots of vanity addresses.  This is my longest with English words to date - 1BubbLingsoup9hqv7cjnnrWFt9GmEmCHS

(*) I will only consider addresses that have an actual owner, so not stuff like:  

1111111111111111111114oLvT2   
1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE      (more info)

Really funny to see there are a lot of people sending bitcoins to these addresses.

Actually, at some point, some anti-bitcoiner or another was leading a campaign to send as many coins as he could to the eater address.  There's a thread about it here somewhere.  I recall others saying: well, since bitcoins are finite, the more you destroy, the more value is in the ones I don't destroy so "thanks".  I'm sure you can turn that thread up if you search around.  Pretty interesting.

EDIT: haha, I just realized the link in (more info) was the exact thread I was talking about.  Silly me.

I remember I randomly created a foo address.

That was pretty cool.

The Best Vanity addresses......

Not 1 but 2

And for MultiSig Addresses....

First..to open a 1BitVAULTvy9zdaDkpbcgWjDuexcm3kjAS

you need a   1Lockoeas5VwoY81JdjwAgA4W3Ya2XNY34
and a brass  1KEY1vy3FbVGppdZh8Kcv5kSYDosYSAxCN

 That's creative!  Very nice.

What is the best setup to more key/sec ??

Any good rig know that can work?

I currently run 2 R9 280x not bad but only 45mh.

Any idea which card are the best?

TIME is all that is needed......My gpu rig ran all summer, 2 years ago.........
And a Huge pattern list, I had well over 150 patterens...

  I was only doing 30 million a second

Ha, I got totally confused by this one.  I thought you were trying to hide the address but showing the private key.  I was like "wtf, doesn't he know that the address is derivable from the private key?"

I dropped the private key into ku (https://github.com/richardkiss/pycoin) and what do I see:

Code:

Bitcoin address              : 12NugbnkyENs8iUEW5TzbzVZHAyvgY6LnS
Bitcoin address uncompressed : 1xxxxxQkSqe6x1EnkG66ayMavz2cYV4zA

Lol at me and a really fun address.  Now I'm wondering who's found the address with the most leading xs.
