Hi Fellows,
Suggestion.
is it possible to use a vanity adress for donations ?
for instance.

Difficulty: 259627881
Pattern: 1GnuPG
Address: 1GnuPGAKtzA7fDE4UkKsM8Gjs1Y3FHGJG1
Privkey: 5J3SYaUa4Y74diSo2cPo9zKjLb6HiqM5WJv5aKpYubMYkyW7heU

So 1GnuPG would be the 'General address' for donations and we also could use 1GnuP{projectname} in case people want to donate for a specific sub-project of GnuPG ecosystem.

PS->If the project name is too long it is possible to "mining" a name in a pool.
More info on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0

Kind Regards,

This commit now has outstanding concerns.May 31 2017, 8:46 PM

FWIW, due to organizational matters we won't be able to handle donation dedicated to a certain task.
What we will do is to consider suggestions on which subproject to prioritize.

Thanks, good idea, but too late for this round. The devops to keep the wallet secure is annoying enough even without another program to generate a private key and importing it into bitcoin-qt (which can be done in the debug console).

Fair enough. I also agree that a certain level of centralization on Accountancy & Finance department is desirable.

Yes I agree. Actually the topic was already beat to death in 2011 Keep your CPU Busy

May I ask two last questions (answer is opcional, just curiosity)
1 - How that key pair was seeded ? For Instance.

Vanitygen uses the OpenSSL random number generator. This is the same RNG used by bitcoin and a good number of HTTPS servers. It is regarded as well-scrutinized. On Linux, the RNG will be seeded from /dev/urandom. Guessing the private key of an address found by vanitygen will be no easier than guessing a private key created by bitcoin itself. Nonetheless, if you feel the default RNG is unable to provide numbers that are sufficiently difficult to guess, vanitygen can be directed to seed the RNG from an external file using the -s option.

2 - Why the last two digits diff ? did you type it manually ?

AFAIK, Marcus used the standard bitcoin-qt.

I do not want to invest more time into bitcoin. Actually our bank has locked our Euro account due to the exchange of bitcoins. See the mailing list of the verein for details.
