Good day!

I've seen this wallet address from the list of my referrals in a faucet, look at the last 3 character: 3GZLKxx7SgYkUXarSRNULxjxRQf4P3DAY3

I thought the addresses only starting in 1 can be generated for vanity address, isn't that a multi-sig address? If that is possible, how?

afaik before you base58encode it, instead of 0x00 at the beginning, you start with a 0x05 (prefix/version number)
this results in a leading 3 address
e.g.
05.payload.checksum -> base58encode -> 3.....
00.payload.checksum -> base58encode -> 1.....

Thanks for the explanation. But I'm still having trouble understanding codes regarding addresses.
Can I just do that using the vanity miner?

Yes it is possible.

Here's the command to generate a vanity address with the "3Love" prefix:

./vanitygen -F script 3Love
