Rare address hall of fame

[arulbero]

Any vanity pubkeys category? If so, I win:

0200000000000000000000003b78ce563f89a0ed9414f5aa28ad0d96d6795f9c63

Jesus, that must have taken forever to bruteforce, what kind of hardware were you working with? Must have been an absolute beast, or you simply got completely lucky and cracked one early with low power hardware.

The "best" pubkey I have found so far is:

02000000000000aeea7a7a5c04504f6e4e45452940431c9a264011686f3b746f92

I can hardly wait for a full address. Now it makes me want to keep trying on my wallet to be able to find a rare address for myself, but it's not possible now because it's all with the wallet that's out there. I have the first one (on my sig). So I sent some of my inactive CPUs (on my mining machine) to the task and found it in a few weeks.

You can create any arbitrary address simply by putting the correct checksum at the end. You, of course, will not know the secret key, so anything that is sent there is unlikely to ever be received will be destroyed and can never be spent.

FIFY.

Here is an example I made a long time ago:

Code:

11When1DieBuryMeDeepLayTwoXVEY5jv - (Unspent) 0.00000001 BTC
11SpeakersAtMyFeetAPairofXXTyrHor - (Unspent) 0.00000001 BTC

11ALwaysPLayTheGratefuLDeadWdq4Xo - (Unspent) 0.00000001 BTC

How do you add a check sum? Might come in handy later.

Is there a step missing between 4 and 5?

And as I understand, sha256(sha256(N)) would simply mean "hashing a hash" - correct?

000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702C (from step 3) sha256'd is:

 You have to use the binary data rather than the string value.  Probably the tool you are using doesn't convert the string to a hex number so it will use the ASCII code for each character in the string as input.

Try this site -  https://anyhash.com/sha256 and make sure to select the hex checkbox to the right.

1YesThatWorksThankYouXhomervUVfQs!

I used the site you suggested for sha256, and this site for base58:
http://lenschulwitz.com/base58

Obvious, but just to be clear, this is only useful for anyone needing a burner address - you cannot generate the private key.

[xhomerx10]

how to get that address? is this just a coincidance? or not? or maybe they generate it? but as i know to generate more than 5 digits is impossible right now? let see 1111111111111111111114oLvT2    there are 22 times the number 1, my big question, HOW?

Very true - eight alpha/numeric take weeks and weeks to do - I have literally hundreds of words or combinations that I've searched for - alas I haven't had my graphics cards going for many months now due to the boxes age, but am planning on getting a new install with all new cards etc.

You *can* get custom ones that long done using split key.   As to price... I really would have to wait until I have a new box made up and see what kind of length of time a solution would take.

Hey, guys,

I have just discovered this thread, because I find the topic about different "self-created" addresses very interesting anyway.
I hope it's okay if I revive this thread, after almost exactly one year ago...
Maybe I am not the only one who has experimented, and new beautiful or funny addresses are to see here from others!

I recently took a closer look at it, because I really wanted to have an address fits to my username, by which one can immediately recognize that she belongs to me.  
Of course, this address is more a fun project.
Because this address is only used for forum purposes (highest possible privacy) and so far only entries are in it anyway.
As far as I know, these addresses are called "vanity addresses", because the owner has the private key for, i.e. has calculated them!

Here are a few examples from myself (from which i have private keys):

This is my personal forum address:

1SiNeRYT3iE7wbJeXULmSHUaDU6nfBjAe
1XxXxwEL5vNAiSDQxA4p6uDF4mfE6rucV

1FucKZ4a4mVzdn6VLfbR9chYUup8mQ4iPK
Of course it is important to know that these so-called "burn addresses" are usually only "compiled", so that they match the algorithm of Bitcoin!
But nobody has or ever had a private key for this addresses...
With today's possibilities, it would be almost impossible (for a private person), to calculate the key of such an address...
Whereby, I can imagine, that with "Google's Super Computer" something might be possible!

As far as I know, 5-6 characters after the 1 (which is always the beginning of a simple Bitcoin address), is the end for a normal private user...
I had read something about 3 characters more = ~3500 years time it can takes to calculate the key... blatant!  

For this kind of addresses I had already written a contribution, where also nice addresses were included:

The best adresses I have found so far are these addresses, because every letter has a meaning, no numbers except the 1 at the beginning and everything is in the order:
1LuCKYbiTcoinADDreSsBrinGiNgBUdDha
1MangoDismayedBroadswordChopRanBat
1NarcissistSnowshedHarmerAteGoTerm
Really, there are already so many special addresses. I keep coming across new addresses...

I also find the topic very interesting and entertaining, especially, in many cases, you think about the possible story behind the words.
Nobody writes something without a meaning behind it!

Some other of my biggest favourites:

Also an example which I've created   (without private key, but funded and immortalized in the Blockchain):

The best adresses I have found so far are these addresses, because every letter has a meaning, no numbers except the 1 at the beginning and everything is in the order:

you can make as many as these addresses as you like by just choosing any sentence, placing 1 at the beginning (the sentence could start with word "one" replaced by number form "1" to have meaning) and computing its checksum. like this:
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1cantBothFeastAndBecomeRichydS3qJ
here is an online tool, go nuts: https://gobittest.appspot.com/ProofOfBurn

Yes, that's right so far!

However, note that EVERY address WITHOUT credit is not really immortalized in the Blockchain!

That means, with your method you can create any addresses, but you have no "private key"!  (Also called "burn-adresses")
Consequently, you can also send nothing from this address!

Because with today's technology it is extremely difficult up to impossible to calculate the right private key for these addresses...

With Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] you can calculate an address... but definitly with less digits and letters!
From current cause still another Burn address, which I'm sure you haven't seen yet:
1FuckYouGraigWrightxSatoshiXc6ppN

You can create any arbitrary address simply by putting the correct checksum at the end. You, of course, will not know the secret key, so anything that is sent there is unlikely to ever be received will be destroyed and can never be spent.

FIFY.

11ALwaysPLayTheGratefuLDeadWdq4Xo - (Unspent) 0.00000001 BTC

How do you add a check sum? Might come in handy later.

1) create a template of your desired address ie 1waLLobserverburnaddressxxxxxxxxx ^{(the last few characters will eventually be random due to checksum)}

2) Base58 unencode your burn address into hex - 000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702C4E117611

3) remove the last 4 bytes from the result and call what's left N - 000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702C4E117611
