The Revolution Will Not Be Centralized
summary
Uses BitcoinJ in Java to generate vanity Bitcoin addresses at about 20,000 keys/sec across six laptops, prints the matching address plus private key, and awards 10,000 bits (0.01 BTC) to the first emailed match. Demonstration imports that private key into Multibit/Hive/Bitcoin Core, broadcasts the transaction, and it reaches the network and gets six confirmations (~60 minutes), proving the demo and the workflow actually work end to end.
