Is there a technical way to implement a service like that in a non-compromising way? I.e. user sends you his public key, you brute-force some nonce value, until the key's ID is "nice"?
Non-native speaker here, I didn't even know what "vanity" means, just ignored it as noise-word :) Well, after looking it up, I still am not sure that I understand what it means :).
- spydum 12y agovanity base word is vane; or to be so focused on how pretty or appealling you are to others. often used when talking about asthetically pleasing names when talking about tech stuff (vanity hostnames for example.. dns names which are excessively showy, this used to be common on IRC to look "cool").
- dTal 12y agoWould that not be "vain"?
