Theymos really needs to add a button to insert this very large number in the text field.
Most people know how to count to the bolded part.
Quadrillion, right?

There are almost unlimited address.
I think it would be fair to get rid of the "almost" in this case. What was that address factoid? Something like if 100,000 addresses were created every second since the beginning of the universe there still would be unused addresses left over.
Oh shit... I guess that is a ton, so I guess my skepticism is fading.
1. There are almost 115,792,089,237,316,195,423,570,985,008,687,907,853,269,984,665,640,564,039,457,584,007,913,129,639,936 possible ECDSA private keys. Almost.

To generate a used address, unless due to a glitch, you'd need a dyson sphere, a young star, negative energy and the knowledge of how to open a wormhole for the purpose of time-traveling to the future.

What about how all the electric freezers have been using up all the snowflake designs wastefully since early in the 20th Century, when nature runs out of unique designs, it might just drop huge chunks of ice on us.
My point exactly. xDJust kidding, but I mean after a Vanity Generator goes through different addresses, does it make it so that certain address is no longer available for others to use?

It's an honest question, I'm just wondering if Vanity Address generators create a bunch of unusable addresses...
