Why do people send coins to that address?

I don't know, but it's more money for us. Grin

I remember a user who thinks Bitcoin will fail, he said he sent all coins to one of those addresses from mining in 2011.

Thanks, anonymous user. Grin

For the moment I know these two Bitcoin black holes:
https://blockchain.info/address/1111111111111111111114oLvT2 (2 BTC)
https://blockchain.info/address/1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE (3 BTC)

Also, here is a small one:
http://blockexplorer.com/address/11111111111111111111BZbvjr (0.01 BTC)

With the Hash 160 you can fin more small black holes:
https://blockchain.info/address/0000000000000000000000000000000000000005

I tried to make custom address without private key, I found vanitygen, but it will make address and private key, is it possible to make such a custom address without private key by base58check sum ?

And if possible what is the capability to make such a kind of arbitrary address ?
thank you.

Just making sure...

You are aware that any bitcoins received at this "custom address" will be lost forever, right?

You'll never be able to access them, and neither will anybody else.

Yes these addresses will be "coin eaters".

Look here:

They are like a black hole, the money drop here never returns.

Do you mean a custom burning address like 1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr?

You can do it using Bitcoin Address Utility
https://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/bitcoin-address-utility/

Edit
- Install the utility
- Tools > Base58 calculator
- Enter the first characters in Base58. Example "1EcuaMobiDoNotSendBTCHereXX". It should have a length of 34 chars.
- Replace the last character with ? until Hex shows actual hex characters
- When that happens make a little change in Hex, like removing a space, so Base58 is re-calculated
- The address is generated, Ex: 1EcuaMobiDoNotSendBTCHereXXYcbk8Da
