Agree that it is not good to reuse addresses.
But, someone may want to have a "fancy" address for tips and donations. Cheesy

Yes, they may. That doesn't make it a good idea, but lots of people make decisions based on bad ideas every day.

It is a "best practice" to use a new address for EVERY transaction. This reduces privacy issues and slightly increases security. As such, vanity addresses are generally a bad idea, since they encourage you to reuse the same address repeatedly.

So can anyone experienced can tell me weather to use that services or not to get a btc address ..! !! or there is any other credible program/service for that.

You can use Vanitygen.
It is open-source, and you can run it offline. For safety, you can even format your HDD afterwards. Cheesy

Hello,

I have seen some people with choosen BTC address, at least the first letters. For example, satoshi dice has all their addresses starting with 1dice.......

How would you do that?

Thank you!
