Hey Monero Community !!
Can anyone please guide me on how to create a custom Monero burn address, or generally in the Cryptonote protocol?
Will appreciate your kind help.

Create a wallet in a live environment in ram with a super long password (100+ characters) and don't write down it or the seed. Send your coins to the address. Why do you want to burn your coins?
Yeah, I guess I wasn't specific enough.
I'm looking for a way to create a provably unspendable burn address.
Meaning it should be obvious, for example contain a lot of consecutive X's.
keep generating wallets until you get one with a lot of x's.
this vanity address generator exists
https://monerotalk.org/t/vanity-address-generator/134
https://github.com/ehmry/monero-vanity
so you'll essentially publish the viewkey?
The idea is that nobody will have the private key so nobody will have the possibility to spend the funds.
I want to generate an address, to which it's highly improbable anyone will have the private key.
EDIT: Counterparty created such a BTC address back in the days of their launch
Couldn't you still take the same advice I gave but then take whatever address was given and replace the first 10-15 characters with something along the lines of "xxxxxmoneroxxxxx", then again, the viewkey would no longer work so you wouldn't be able to view it anyway. Interesting.
And I don't know what you are getting at here but the post you quote is him doing EXACTLY what you say he is not doing. As well as the recent interview, missives, website, and general forum presense.
