Not true. There are huge number of combinations of characters after 1jacee... which makes it easy for anyone else to create the same prefix in a short amount of time
Well you are right but not everyone that I know, knows how to make a vanity address plus I don't see much people using the name jacee. I just think it will be more convinient to identify if I was the one who sent the coin if the address contains my name.
You should still check the address, its too easy to create a new one with 1jacee, like 1jaceeuKwijUPpm8VdEFFGH1eqCqJENeD (no I didnt keep the private key)
Yea, that's the one I read but I was looking for a way to directly create one with my smartphone but I guess there is no way to do that.
No, smartphones dont have enough computing power anyway.
If the wallet you are using on your mobile allows importing priv key, then yes its possible. But making of vainty address on mobiles is not something I've seen before
I am using mycelium wallet and I saw that there is an import option so I think it will work on this one.
With that being said, contact shorena or DannyHamilton via PM if you run into any problems. Shorena also provides a free(for small vanity chars address generation) vanity gen service
Thanks! I will send either of them both to ask if they can make one for me. Another question, are there any other more technicalities with these vanity address that is different from a normal bitcoin address which was randomly generated? I mean, are there any other more precautions to follow in securing a vanity address other than the obvious way of securing a random generated btc address?
Its just randomly generating private keys, calculating the address for the private key and see if its matches the search pattern. You can let someone else do the heavy work with the split key method. There is more about that in my thread ->
