I don't see why you're making a big deal about this

User Velkro and their private key stealing vanity generation site BitcoinVanityGen (.) com <-- SCAM has caused significant financial harm to many people when he stole their coins. No one wants to see a repeat of this and thus anyone offering such a service can be considered high risk, making TryNinja's trust feedback valid. "You think that trading with this person is high-risk."

The user also told people to trust him when announcing the service. People are making a big deal because you could be preying on those new to Bitcoin who wouldn't know how to use split key or the risks of having you generate a vanity address for them.

Well categorically I appreciate the intent, but you don't need to trust me anymore. Split key has been added to the website - mathematically removing the need for trust.

That is a shame what he did, but now this service will be known as the most affordable and legit service that even allows split key

Please spread the word of this legit, and amazing service

Split key is optional - some people do not know how to use a split key, that was my initial concern.

Make a tutorial. It's not hard. Maybe put some images and you're done.

Example:

1. Go to Bitaddress.org (optionally download its source code on https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/archive/v3.3.0.zip) and open it;
2. Move your mouse around until 100%;
3. Click on the "Vanity Wallet" tab;
4. Click on "Generate" and don't close the tab;
5. Paste the "Step 1 Public Key" in the generator's split-key field and click "Generate Address";
6. Meanwhile, go back to bitaddress and paste the "Step 1 Private Key" into bitaddress' first box;
7. When the service finds the address, paste the generator's "BTC Privkey part" into Bitaddress' second box;
8. Click "Calculate Vanity Wallet";
9. It should show your vanity address private-key.

I will not be forcing split key, because of usability and accessibility

Stop giving excuses. Make your service truly secure.

Security > Usability. Otherwise, we should just use Coinbase.

What about for the other 50 coins?

It's just not scalable dude. I have the option there for people who want it, the people who just want quick easy vanity address don't have to use it

I don't see why you're making a big deal about this

No - this is more a simple and easy to use service that relies on the trust of me as an operator.

In crypto, we have the saying "verify, don't trust" (I don't know the original source).

UPDATE: We now support split-key on our website!

Split key should be the only option, so you can PROVE you're honest instead of having people "trust" you.

Good job! May I ask you to make using the split-key feature OBLIGATORY? Like, only offer your services if the user does that? Wink

You can link them to bitaddress.org to generate their key pair (there is a vanity address tab in there).

Sir your assumptions are your own. If you don't trust it, don't use it, but that's unfair and physically impossible for you to make any claim to the services credibility if you've never used it.

Don't worry, I won't use it.

But I will also warn everybody else (specially the newbies who don't understand things) how unsafe and untrustworthy this is.

Now, if you are legit, shutdown your service right now and only put it back when you implement a safe way of generating vanity addresses (split-key).

Unless you start using the split-key method[1] to generate the vanity address, I'll assume you are a scammer. This is 100% UNSAFE as you generate everything in the backend and you are VERY LIKELY saving these keys. This has nothing to do with "paranoid" people. THIS IS SUPER BASIC SECURITY.

Is this an open source project?

even if it's an open source project, OP knows the private key and can steal the fund
offering vanity address creation without partial/split key method is never recommended
if he wants to offer such services, he needs to do it like ThePiachu's or LoyceV's vanitygen service

Theoretically it's correct - but we aren't servicing those really paranoid people. They will just make their own addresses.

Is this an open source project? If not, then you're wasting time, there are a lot of guides on how to make a vanity address, legacy, segwit nested and native which are more secured than using some random and close source services such on OP.

No - this is more a simple and easy to use service that relies on the trust of me as an operator. I have quite a bit of credibility in a lot of industries so I think it's not a problem.

For those people who really are paranoid about security, then this probably isn't for them
