Topic: vanity address (Read 1457 times)
Have used vanitiygen for a long time never had any problems with it. Just depends really if someone is randomly going to brute force but again would be imposable and a lot of years before gets cracked. I only use them for deposit addresses and projects the move out of them but as far as concerns never had any problems using past and present.
Do it all offline on a terminal/client/machine/whatever that will never be exposed to the internet, and you should be fine.
How to do that? If it is posted here in forum, can you give me a link to it? Also does it require some special cpu power on hashing?
see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vanitygen-vanity-bitcoin-address-generatorminer-v022-25804.
not that complex to install.
In addition to the local vanitygen, there's a pool for buying more vanity hashing power in a safe way:

If you don't have enough computing power, I can help you. Follow https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-vanity-addresses-100-vanities-generated-347591 and post the part public key here instead with your preferred word. Make sure it isn't lengthy.

hello. i would like to ask if it is safe to make a vanity address from bitcoinvanitygen? i asked these because they also have the copy of the private keys of the address that they will give.. is there anyone lose their coins after using their service? pls let me know.. thanks!
Do you mean http://bitcoinvanitygen.com/?
No, it's not safe at all. Do not send bitcoins to any address generated there. They don't use shared Public Key which they could easily implement for security so you can't be sure whether or not they will take your funds. Under those conditions you can trust them.
Create your own vanity key offline or use a service that uses shared Public Key.
The above statement is correct.
Also people have lost all their btc from bitcoinvanitygen.com, as soon as that address receives a sizable amount of btc.
