New Vanity Address Service: https://Vante.me

[trebbor0]

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://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic ... #msg901491

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!

Vanity addresses look impressive but unless i could create one myself i would never trust another company to do this for me sorry.

What guarantee can you give that the whole key pair is created within the users browser and only sending the public key to you, why does it even send the public key back to you?
There is just too many stories of people loosing money from vanity addresses they had someone else create for them, i found this one just today: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1476782.0 not hard when there are new threads about this every week.

Thank you for the response. We understand your concers as there were indeed some issues around this topics in the past.
Apart from generating a keypair in the browser, we also provide a solution where the user to generate a keypair himself, offline and with a tool of his choosing, providing us only with the public key. This public key is required for us to create the vanity address. The private key we calculate and send to the user should be combined with the first keypair generated by that user. If the private key of the initial keypair is kept safe by the user, nobody else can do anything with the information shared online.
Using this method gives you perfect security over the ownership of your vanity address.
