Create a CUSTOM BTC address for FREE
Yo guys
Do you have a bitcoin account (blockchain etc) and ever wondered how could you possible do your own awesome btc address (with your name, nickame etc in it) ?
Then wonder no more ! Today i will share with you a solution
First of all DONT EVER DARE to use some website to generate a custom btc address ! They will save your private key and if you will have some balance on the address they will steal it.
So now to the thing ( This method will show how to do it on windows)
What will you need ?
Download Vanitygen
*Vanitygen is the "software" we will be using to create the address
**If you want to read more about vanitygen then read here
Now after downloading create a folder on desktop and paste all the files there

Now write the path to the folder with vanitygen64 or vanitygen (depens on if you have 32bit or 64bit system) into it (if you own windows seven you can just drag the .exe into the cmd)
* IF you have a good graphic card use oclvanitygen.exe instead of vanitygen.exe, it will be a lot faster

Click enter
Now you will see informations what all vanity can do
To generate new address you need to
write the path to the vanity exe again (or drag it there) and write -v -i 1yourtext
* -v is that you want to use a verb
- i is that the generated address of your text will be case-insensitive (it will speed up the procces, but you dont need to use it)
- 1yourtext ALL addresses start with 1 so you need to use 1 and then write what you want it there to have, the longer it will be the longer it will be until it generates
Now click enter again
And now wait, the waiting will be different on each pc/prexif lenght
After the address will be generated you will have there
Address : YOUR NEW BTC ADDRESS
PrivKey : Your private key, which you need to import into your btc wallet to use the wallet
* NEVER SHARE YOUR PRIVATE KEY WITH ANYONE ELSE !

Okay so now copy your privkey (if you dont know how to copy in cmd just right click, and the first one to mark, then select the privkey and ctrl+c)
If you use blockchain like i do then login into your blockchain and clíck on "Import/Export"

Now into the "Import Private key" paste the privkey you copied some steps above and click "Add private key"
And as last click on "Import Directly"
