I typically don't thread bomb but I couldn't resist on this one. You're charging 10$ for a 1-5 character vanity that seems way to easy for a computer to automatically do.
My computer can find a case sens one in about 10 seconds:
Even lower without case sens (<1 second):
Honestly, the price for the 10 letter one is about right. It's about a 1 year process for a 1abcdefghij without case sens. (over 100,000 years with case sens)
I don't want it to seem like I'm flaming you or anything, I really don't. But if I went into a local store and saw an outrageous price for some type of item, I might have something to say to the owner. Nothing personal, seriously.
Really wished I could have gotten around to registering for your 1btc drawing, although.
I am mostly charging for my time on those ones - communicating with the customer to get their public key, waiting for the address to generate, packaging it and sending it out. It is targeted towards those who do not know how to generate their own address or do not want to take the time to figure it out. Some people don't even know what a command line is, or how to install a particular set of drivers (as vanitygen is only compatible with some driver sets).
It's kind of like how a grocery store charges $5 for a small bundle of wood, whereas if a person bought it straight from a woodcutter, they could get the same amount for $1. Well, the grocery store has already gone through the work of contacting the woodcutter, bundling the wood, and putting it in a nearby location to make it convenient for the customer, warranting the higher price.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
