It's a very nice thing to do off them. Altough generating a 4 letter case-insensitive key with vanitygen will take you less time than generating a split keypair (and it's easyer to IMHO). It'll take you even less time with oclvanitygen.
That being said: the method itself is safe, i've seen some trusted members using the same method in the past

It's nice of them to offer this for free.

Yeah, vanitygen would probably take you less time to generate that 4 letter non case sensitive address. But I'm always too lazy to run lines of code in my command prompt Tongue

Anyways, I'm really pleased with my first experience on this site. But the emails containing information could be a bit more formatted & professional. Will use again in future Tongue

There are indeed two options, the one where you have to trust us and the security of our server is just there to quickly test the procedure or for small amount addresses.

In both cases, the private key we send you is not the final private key, you still have to combine it with your own private key. Since we don't have that one, your address is safe.
The combination procedure is described in the solution email. I suggest you try to order a free address to see how it all works

I actually tried to order an address(1Money) with no case sensitive setting on. I thought it was free, but it turned out I had to pay 0.01 for the address Undecided

Not a particularly desirable price to pay for a 5 letter vanity with no cases.

I will try with a 4 letter one though, I'll let you know how it works out

EDIT: It worked out fine. Very clear on the instructions. You probably should make it clear that you must use the "Add" option instead of "Multiply" on bitaddress.org though.

Hi,

You can always check the price when entering your address, it's updated automatically for each letter and case sensitive/insensitive.
0.01 is our minimum price, case sensitive would've been the same price.

Thanks for trying and don't hesitate to order free addresses!

Sorry if this is a dumb question: How can we trust that you will not hold onto our private keys after our vanity addresses are generated and we put some BTC in there? There have been a few incidents in the past where someone's wallet content got stolen.

Does split key address generation protect us against that? I read the post about it, and it was wayyyy too complicated for me Undecided

Split key address generation is very safe unless your computer with the other half get compromised

Ahhh, ok. There is two options at when you generate your vanity address. One is that you supply your own public key and one trusting vante.me to do the job for you.

But still, don't they email the private keys to you? So they can still be able to store the private key for later usage.

Or am I still not getting the idea?

As Quartx said, split-key address generation protects you from us being malicious or hacked.
If you order an address there's a video explaining how to create a public/private key on your own machine, if you only send us the public key there's no way we can do something wrong. Security of your machine is then indeed the only risk.

Thanks for the question and let us know if something isn't clear!

We would like to present a secure and convenient service for Bitcoin vanity address creation: https://vante.me

What is a vanity address?

A vanity address is a Bitcoin address that starts with a specific pattern.
Example: 1VanteMe21JmABACJbp3pTSd89Ej9xmhUH

This service allows you to:
* Create bitcoin addresses containing your name or company in a completely secure way without having to trust any third party including ourselves.
* We provide a scalable solution which can provide more computing resources for bigger jobs, cutting down your waiting time (typically less than 1 day)
* Order a free vanity address up to 4 characters case (in)sensitive
* Order a paid vanity address up to 8 characters case (in)sensitive

Details:
We use split-key address generation as described in this post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.901491

There are two options we provide:
- automatically generating a random keypair in your browser.
- create your own keypair on your machine, sending us only the public key.
Vanity addresses generated using this second option are 100% secure and guarantee you are the only owner of this address.
If this sounds complicated don't worry, there's an instruction video on the site.

Feedback and comments are welcome!
