Although like OP I am clueless and will practice. Never thought of buying a vanity either, good to know thats a no go.

I have never trusted any of these vanity address creating sites. I guess it's like most things in life - If you want it done right do it yourself.

Creating ("mining") them yourself is the best option (the tool was already linked above).
If you are unabled to do so, a split generation works just as fine (in case of security, shorena offers that service for example, linked above).
Never, you should utilize any service/method in which the other party at the end has access to the private key of the created vanity address.

Both of which links were quoted in my post above...

thanks for answer

You can post your part public key here in this thread or place an order of yonder --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1257817.0

1orayt can be found quicker than it's taken to type this out.
1oraytSDA would take much longer and require a BTC fee (up front)
1oraytSDA666 is in the "forget it - too long to find" category.

If you post your Part Public Key here I'll run you off a handful of 1Orayt to give you an idea what they look like. Vanity Pool - vanity address generator pool https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84569.0 has some information on why it is safe to post your Part Public Key which others can read, but not access your funds.

(have trimmed the lower case Oscar - "o" in the quote and highlightes where I also wrote why it is safe to post your Part Public Key which others can read, but not access your funds.
