bitaddress.org VS vanitygen-plus

Here's how I do it: Download the bitaddress.org paper wallet web page html by going to this link and hitting ctrl+shift+s : https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/blob/master/bitaddress.org.html

www.bitaddress.org is one of the oldest tools you can use the address format is the old format, but it works just the same. You sent to the public key (you SHARE it like your bank account number). Let people know that's your account, and they'll know your transaction history, so keep that private.)

One of the oldest and best is https://www.bitaddress.org

Is there a Bitcoin hardware wallet which is simply a complete product, which I could presumably keep and use for a decade without update? I'm seriously considering holding most of my coin on a paper wallet generated by https://www.bitaddress.org/ at this point.

Is anyone using https://www.bitaddress.org to create their private key? I was about to use it a few years ago and then I learned about ledger. Now looks like I need to find an alternative again...

That said there is software for making vanity addresses (eg addresses starting with a prefix you want like 1Boat) https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus You could give this thing whole addresses. But that chance of finding the private key for an address is essentially zero.

Vanity gen has a mode (-Z) where you can specify the private key prefix. One could play the lottery without writing any code themselves. https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus

Also of note is the vanitygen-plus [0] project, allowing you to generate custom cryptocurrency adresses.
